The Sennheiser MKE 600 for nature & wildlife video
zhlédnutí 173Před 21 dnem
I am always looking for great new tools to help in create magical moments in nature. I recently researched the Sennheiser MKE 600. Although it's not as good as the legendary 416, to me, it performed so well on its first outing in Mana Pools. For the video shared here, I never worked on any of the audio files, other than a little gain here and there. The sound you hear is un edited. What sold me...

Should you take photos of graphic sightings in Nature?
zhlédnutí 228Před 3 měsíci
This has always been a controversial topic, to say the least. It seems like the general public is divided on the topic - you're either for it, or against it. What do I think? Well, you're gonna have to listen to the podcast. The reality is, it boils down to what it is that you want to do. Some of us won't pick up the camera when an animal is being killed. Some of us will take the photos, and no...
Reasons to visit the Pantanal for Jaguars
zhlédnutí 395Před 3 měsíci
Seeing a Jaguar in the wild, it was always a dream for me, something I never thought would be possible. Then, a decade or so ago, the Pantanal developed a relationship with these special cats that would see many of them become habituated with boats. Now, it's possible to get up close and very personal with these magnificent big cats in the Pantanal, the world's largest wetland. To see Jaguars a...

Should I buy a new Camera, or buy a new Lens?
zhlédnutí 126Před 3 měsíci
This is a big decision. If you are on a tight budget you should give a lot of thought to this before jumping in. Often we are inclined to get the newest and latest camera body when in fact, the option that will bring about the biggest difference in the quality of your work, is an upgraded lens. Listen with me as I talk through this choice to make it a little easier for you. For any specific que...

Und jetzt kann er sich nicht mehr verteidigen...
Que judiaria, iss ñ machuca o bichinho ? 🥺
Oh wow. That made me so sad. But I’d rather have hornless rhinos then none at all… poor babies. I hope they are in areas where they are safe from predators too
Protect ? Or for foods HAHAHAH ,
😢
😢
It’s business now they gonna sell it to the black market. Manipulating people by saying things like this making people emotional. Just saying
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
😢😢😢😭😭😭
They cut the horn so they will not be targeted by hunters
😢
it possible the Lion near by Camp
so sad
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
이런것좀 올리지마라 이 혐오스럽고 잔인한 인간들아
sooooooooo sad and bad omg
Please advice. Where do the cut horns go? That is not disclosed. Please enlighten us.
Instant tears! We as humans are so blessed to walk the earth with the most magnificent creatures great and small but we do not deserve it! We destroy everything! I know this is to protect the species but it breaks my heart that they need to lose part of themselves just to be safe 💔
😭😭😭😭👿👿😤🤬
Okay so I looked up how a rhino would protect itself without its horns because Google is free. It says and I quote “teeth: Indian rhinos use their sharp incisors and canine teeth to slash and gouge at predators or other rhinos.” Also by charging, and use of their heighten senses of hearing since their eyesight is poor. They also use communication such as growls, grunts, squeaks, snorts and bellows to communicate danger to other rhinos or to warn predators not to mess with them. Lastly they take mud baths to protect their skin from sunburn, ticks and have a symbiotic relationships with oxpeckers! Lastly wildlife conservation groups like the one above use an antiseptic on the horn to prevent infection and they don’t cut down to the actual skull of the rhino which allows for them to 1: not get hurt and 2: regrow their horns and some sources even say that the horn grows back faster after being removed but that also is effected by the rhinos age as well.
Melihat mata dari badak itu aku jadi sedih dan menangis, mungkin si badak tau kalo hidupnya juga dipertaruhkan apabila cula nya ngga dipotong nyawanya yg jadi ancaman karena pemburu cula itu pasti membunuh badaknya dulu untuk mendapatkan cula yg berharga tsb. Habitat badak yg tersisa di dunia ini juga hanya di Afrika.😭😭😭...sehat selalu badak dan para jagawana demi kelestarian habitat badak putih di Afrika tetap lestari...❤
Without the horns, doesn’t the rhinos become defenceless or more prone to tiger/lion attacks ?
So sad.
Now Who will save him, from his natural anymies 😢😢
This is aweful
17 hours?? 😮
Oh, that makes the Rhino female not regconize her husband! 😂😂😂😊😊😊
Where is Darwin theory of natural selection, where traits doesn't continue in order to survive, when you need it?
😭😭😭😭😭
😢💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔
😢this is so sad! 😭
😮y es cortarle las uñas o algo por el estilo no????😢pareciera que no le duele...😅perdon pormi ignorancia
I’m sure they still sold the horn for “charity”
But... Isn't this called Rhino Poaching? 🤔
This is low-key circumcision😢
It’s crazy to think that animals were doing just fine before humans came along and human intervention always has excuses. That’s his defense and I know somebody’s gonna come up with the best excuse but like no I’m sorry, at least trim it down and shape it into a horn again that way he still has something to defend himself.
There is a hell for the cruelty men for sure
i have a question? How is the rinho going to protect its self if it's being attacked?
It’s a shame that they have to do this JUST to protect them from insane poachers that kill them to sell their horns illegally
Is this because of poaching?! This has just gotten out of control and I know it isn't because of lack of trying on your part. Thank goodness y'all care for your animals! ❤
People are just killing them to sell their horns. Such a dumb way to earn money. All they care about is money that’s all, they don’t think about the animals before killing them. If they keep hunting animals and killing then for their precious parts, they will be extinct soon.
This is so sad yes they are saving them from ruthless poachers but they are left defenseless in a wild environment...they might as well just run for their lives since they have no horn to protect themselves
So sad... Mother Nature gave them perfection with horns and to save them from monsters, their guardians have to do so.... 😢 humanity, you lost your way.... go back to love Nature and stop having black hearts
😢😢😢😢😢I'm bawling
All these are money business
No 😂 así no se pueden defender xd, es verdad que ahora no los cazan así, pero si no se extinguen por los humanos se extinguen por morir en una pelea en la que no pueden defenderse sin cuernos xd

Such magnificent creatures and yet this is the only way for us to save them...Feels so sad
Why don't you build wild life parks and secure around it? How that rhino will defend itself now? It's alive but it gonna die in wild.
Why to remove?
