These are Rainbow Lorikeets. These beautiful birds can be found in #Australia. Although considered a Parrot, Lorikeets are specially adapted for a diet consisting mostly of nectar and pollen. The tip of a Lorikeet’s tongue has a collection of tiny hair-like structures called papilla that help them excavate pollen and nectar from flowers. This adaptation is why you’ll sometimes hear Lorikeets referred to as “brush-tongued parrots.

Did you know despite being incredibly tall, #giraffes still only have seven vertebrae in their necks – which means a #giraffeneck has the exact same number of bones as a human neck!

The best way to stay safe when watching #wildlife is to give the #animals room to move. Use binoculars or a zoom lens and move back if wildlife approaches you. Let wildlife be #wild and observe from a distance. Do not disturb and stay on trails to help keep humans presence in predictable areas. If dogs are allowed, keep them on-leash, pick up fecal matter, and ensure they are vaccinated. Do not use bird calls or wildlife calls and attractants. Store your food and stash your trash. Once they have learned that people are a source of food, wildlife can become aggressive toward people. Tell a #ranger if you come into physical contact, see wildlife that is sick, dead, or acting strangely. When you see people who aren’t following these guidelines, contact a ranger if necessary.

According to #NationalGeographic, #Bobcats are elusive and nocturnal, so they are rarely spotted by humans. Although they are seldom seen, they roam throughout much of North America and adapt well to such diverse habitats as forests, swamps, deserts, and even suburban areas.
