"If you want to witness such moments on safari, you have to be patient and willing to sacrifice any other sightings you hear off. 1/4

This particular day we spent almost 7 hours with this #lion called Bob Marley (notice the dreads under his mane). He would get up every 20 minutes or so and dig the burrow deeper. We had to be ready throughout as the warthog in the burrow could dash out any moment. 2/4
It was coming to the end of the day and we were almost losing hope when it started raining heavy. Bob Marley used this to his advantage as the burrow filled with water and he started splashing the water inside the burrow which confused the #warthogs and made them rush out. 3/4

How ongoing research is increasing the available corpus (and our understanding) of Pre-Pottery #Neolithic #iconography.

Just a little #archaeology 🧵 on why this is really fascinating. 😉

Of course, the phallus-flashing guy gets all the headlines.

Well, it *is* quite a picturesque scene - one fitting #Neolithic iconographic conventions in the region & an apparently strong focus on male depictions (here's e.g. a comparable image from contemporary #GobekliTepe). Drawing of a 40 cm high scu...

#Vaisakha #Sukla #Chaturdasi is reckoned as Sri #Nrusimha Jayanthi the day Bhagawan #Vishnu manifested in a very ferocious, rare, unique and fascinating form #NARASIMHA;

#WHY THIS #RARE FORM?
Specific purpose of this avathara was,

protection of his devotee #PraHlada from his demon father #Hiranyakasipa;

#establish a point & to make true the words of his devotee " existence (#omnipresent) of God everywhere"

To kill the demon Hiranyakasipa, Lord Vishnu had to take this rare form in order to counteract/provide an antidote to the boons Hiranyakasipa had.

People often ask me why so much of what I post is about trophy hunting, rather than other topics to do with #lions & #conservation. So a short thread on why I engage heavily with this issue - much as I would rather not! (1/n)
Firstly - and sadly, it is the 'threat' that gets far & away the most media attention, despite being one of the lowest-ranked threats to lions according to experts, & the fact it can also have clear benefits, esp habitat conservation. So stressing facts really matters here (2/n)
Here, to remind people, is the graph from a recent paper on key threats to lions. I wish beyond measure that NGOs, the media, public & politicians would focus on some of these key threats, like habitat loss & conflict, but it is all about trophy hunting (TH), so here we are (3/n)

One approach to reducing #HWC and its impacts is to develop tools that promote human-wildlife #coexistence. An eye-catching project conceived by Taronga scientist @HWConflict is one such example. #ScienceWeek PC: Bobby-Jo Vial. Image
By hijacking a common anti-predator signal and applying it in a novel context in #Botswana, the team were able to reduce livestock losses to #lions. nature.com/articles/s4200… PC: Bobby-Jo Vial. Image
The eye-cow approach was very successful in reducing predation by #lions, and Taronga produced detailed “how-to” guides to using the technique with locally available resources, prompting interest and subsequent trials in Peru, USA, India, and Kenya. carnivorecoexistence.info/african-carniv…

#ForeverInOurHearts. In 2020 we said #farewell to some dear friends, Lucho, Junior, Tilin, and Ricardo, we will never forget how they touched our lives and remember them here. #restinpeace #rescuedanimals ImageImageImageImage
LUCHO was saved from a small concrete pen during a dawn raid by #ADI on an #illegalzoo in Peru, in 2015. The friendly #spectacledbear enjoyed five precious years in the forest habitat we provided at @TaricayaE, where he loved to float on his back in his pool.
JUNIOR was #rescued by #ADI in 2014 from a #circus in Colombia, & was one of the 33 #lions we airlifted home to Africa. He was taken from us by cancer at about 9 years old, but got to roam his piece of Africa with brothers Bumba & Zeus at the #ADIWildliifeSanctuary.

Twitter वर दररोज राजकारण,कवीसंमेलन,Memes वरती आपण खुप चर्चा करतो..पण आजचा #Thread खास त्या प्राण्यासाठी आहे ज्याच्या ताकदीचा अंदाज भल्याभल्यांना नाही..ज्या प्राण्याला जंगलामध्ये दुसरा तुल्यबळ प्रतिस्पर्धी नसल्यामुळे त्याला त्याने केलेली शिकार जमिनीवर बसुन मनसोक्तपणे खाता येते.. Image
(इथे वाचकांमध्ये खुप जनांना माहित नसेल कदाचित पण बिबट्याला आपली शिकार झाडावर जाऊन खावी लागते कारण त्याच्या जेवणाचे वाटेकरी आजुबाजुने फिरतचं असतात)..पण आपल्या thread च्या पाहुण्यांचा SWAG ही अलग है!!! त्याचे नाव गाडीच्या एका well known brand ला दिला आहे आणि ती कंपनी भारताचे Image
रत्न आदरणीय रतन टाटांनी विकत घेतलीय..thats right..Jaguar हया प्राण्याबद्दल आपण थोडं बोलणार आहोत.. ‌Jaguar/जग्वार हे अमेरिका खंडात सापडणारे सर्वात मोठे मांजर आहे.चित्ता आणि बिबट्या सारखे ठिपके ह्याच्या शरीरावर असतात.पुर्ण वाढ झालेल्या जग्वारचे वजन साधारण ६०-१०० किलो होऊ शकते.

Thread: This is truly incredible object. Composite #Lion and Bull, bronze, Iran, 1500-1000 BC. clevelandart.org/art/1969.122 The meaning of this object is unknown. It is presumed that it has served as an object of worship in a temple or shrine...Worship of who? Who else. The beast. 🙂 Image
The beast in this case is the hot, dry season, which in Mesopotamia starts at the beginning of May, beginning of summer and ends at the end of October. Image
It spans summer (symbolised by bull) and autumn (symbolised by lion). I talked about the animal symbols of the seasons in this article:

#HumanWildlifeConflict is a major cause of #lion and #largecarnivore decline, and it's exciting to contribute a potential tool to the #nonlethal toolkit that might help to foster #coexistence.

Do you know what inspired the Yogis to come up with many asanas? It was nature, the early yogis were influenced by what was around them. Read - Thread on Yoga!
#Dog - Downward Facing Dog aka Adho Mukha Svanasana. Its a popular pose which is also a part of the Surya Namaskar. This helps to increase flexibility and release tension. If you have dogs around, you would have noticed that dogs stretch their body in this pose.

#Cow Pose aka Bitilasana & #Cat Pose aka Marjariasana. Usually these two are done together. It helps in spine flexibility. The breathing exercise attached with this helps in relaxation. This is common posture in which the cow stands and cat stretches.

A Thread on "Ancient Industries Of Poompuhar"

#Puhar (also known as #Poompuhar), #பூம்புகார் is a town in #Nagapattinam district in #TamilNadu. It was once a flourishing ancient port city known as #Kaveripoompattinam, which for a while served as the capital of the Early Cholas! Image
It is mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea!

#Kaveripoompattinam was a beautiful maritime city of the #Sangam age, situated at the confluence of the river #Kaveri with the Bay of Bengal! Image
It served as the centre of Political, Cultural and Commercial activities of the Ancient Tamils!

There were references of its flourishing trade, planned layout, beautiful building and harbour area from the early Tamil works such as #Pattinappalai #Manimekalai & #Silappathikaram!
