For #WorldAnimalDay I’ll talk about my research into Donegal’s Golden Eagles. Golden Eagles were once a resident breeding bird found throughout the upland and coastal areas of Ireland prior to their extinction due to persecution and habitat change around 1912. 1/18
They are Ireland’s second largest raptor, after white-tailed eagles. With a wingspan up to 212 cm, males weigh 3.7 kg whilst females 5.3 kg on average. They can live to 23 years and begin breeding at 4 years old. Their diet is mostly mammals or birds, both alive or scavenged 2/18
@eagle_trust carried out the first #reintroduction of chicks in 2001 with breeding attempts by reintroduced GEs recorded in 2005 and the first chick fledged successfully in 2007. In 2017, for the first time in over a century, an Irish-bred eagle successfully reared a chick3/18

1⃣İŞTE GEÇMİŞTEN GÜNÜMÜZE KISACA HAYVAN HAKLARININ İNİŞLİ ÇIKIŞLI HİKAYESİ...👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
#4EkimHayvanlarıKorumaGünü
2⃣ İnsanlık var olduğu günden bu yana tek yaşam kaynağımız mavi gezegenin müdavimleri hayvanlarla etkileşim halinde olmuştur.

Doğal dengenin sağlanmasında etkin rol oynayan hayvanların aynı zamanda bizler için de sayısız fayda sundukları inkar edilemez bir gerçektir.

3⃣ Atalarımızın bu düşünce ile hareket ettikleri, hayvanların korunmasında hassas olduklarını görüyoruz.

Hatta bazı Türk Devletlerinin bayraklarında hayvan figürleri kullandıklarına şahit oluyoruz.

Cihan Devleti Osmanlı da ise hayvan haklarına dair güzel örneklere rastlıyoruz.

Time for a pulp countdown now, and as it's #WorldAnimalDay I'm counting down my top 10 animals in horror novels! #FridayFeeling
At no 10: cats! Pretty evil in general, but can be easily defeated with a laser pointer.
At no 9: wasps! They only attack you if you're standing near a jam sandwich, but who doesn't nowadays? Best to take care.

Today on #WorldAnimalDay, we’re celebrating a pretty remarkable dog, @hurricane_k9.
@hurricane_k9 A Belgian Malinois, Hurricane stopped an intruder from entering the @Whitehouse back in 2014. Today he was accompanied by his handler, Officer Marshall Mirarchi, as he was awarded the @PDSA_HQ Order of Merit for his actions.
@hurricane_k9 @WhiteHouse @PDSA_HQ Hurricane is the first international animal to receive the honor, the animal equivalent of the OBE. Congratulations @hurricane_k9, your power and tenacity knows no bounds!

Hi. Can we talk about a heroic pigeon who did something cool 100 years ago today? Close up photo of a taxidermy pigeon. It has a red, glass eye. Pointy beak. Feathers at the neck are emerald with some pink. Overall brown and grey.
World War I, October 1918. Forest of Argonne in France. Under heavy fire, cut off by the enemy, and desperate for rescue, the men of what became known as the #LostBattalion have only two homing pigeons left.
By October 3, 1918, German forces surround them. For days, they dig in and fight off repeated enemy attacks. #LostBattalion

Geese are a pretty common sight on UK shores, although these ones might want to watch their backs from a scary looking predator!!
