Gold rush. Otago.

Poplar tree is commonly known as aspen and cottonwood. It belongs to a populus genus that is made of about 35 species of deciduous flowering plants which belong to the family Salicaceae. Poplar trees are native of the Northern Hemishphere. Western Balsam Poplar species was the first tree to have its full DNA code in the year of 2006. Poplar trees can grow anywhere between 15 to 50 meters tall with trunks up to 2.5 meteres in diameter. The bark is smooth usually even when tree gets older. The leaves are spirally arranged and come in different shapes. Small leaves are usually on side shoots while very large leaves are on strong growing lead shoots. The leaves are bright gold in fall.

The Green and Golden Bell Frog

The Green and Golden Bell Frog, Litoria aurea, is a magnificent looking frog and can often be mistaken for a garden ornament! In the late 1860s several consignments of these frogs were received from Sydney and released by the Auckland Acclimisation Society. There have been several attempts to establish populations of this species in the South Island, but it appears that the climatic conditions are not favourable and the species is restricted to the upper half of the North Island (north of Gisborne). They occur around the same ponds as the Southern Bell Frog and may interbreed

Colourful gerbers

Gerbera L., is a genus of ornamental plants from the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It was named in honour of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber, a friend of Carolus Linnaeus. It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa, Madagascar, and tropical Asia. The first scientific description of a Gerbera was made by J.D. Hooker in Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton Daisy.

The Pitcher Plant and the Bee

This Memorial Day weekend I went for my first visit to the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden off of Independence Boulevard in Wilmington, North Carolina. I discovered an array of pitcher plants including the species pictured Sarrancenia Leucophylla. It was fascinating how many Bumble Bees or (Class: Insecta, Order: Hymenoptera, Family: Apidae, Genus: Bombus, and unsure of this species?) were flying around the plants and even crawling into them. I began to wonder if the bees had a strictly mutualistic relationship with the pitcher plants acting solely as pollinators. Also, I saw quite a few bees get stuck in the tubes of the pitcher plant and it appeared that the pitcher plant could be acting as a predator to the bees. Were the pitcher plants luring them into their tubes to provide a source of mineral nutrients for the plant? After doing some research, I found that it is not evolutionarily beneficial for pitcher plants to consume their own pollinators, thus why they have two distinct parts for each function. The flowering part of the pitcher plant (shown in the background of the photo) is the part responsible for attracting pollinators.

Hygrocybe/Gliophorus

The waxcaps and woodwaxes include some of our most spectacular gilled fungi, but they are sensitive to pollution and nutrients; as a result, they usually disappear if land is treated with agricultural or arboricultural chemicals. Waxcaps (Hygrocybe species) are grassland saprophytes, while the relatives the woodwaxes (Hygrophorus species) are ectomycorrhizal with trees and shrubs.

Parrots, along with ravens, crows, jays and magpies, are among the most intelligent birds, and the ability of some species to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Trapping wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as hunting, habitat loss and competition from invasive species, has diminished wild populations, with parrots being subjected to more exploitation than any other group of birds.

Hericium coralloides.

Description The coral tooth fungus (Hericium coralloides) has been described as our most beautiful species of fungus. It is a member of the group called 'tooth fungi', because their fruit bodies produce tooth-like spines These spines serve the same function (producing spores) as the more familiar gills found on mushrooms The coral tooth fungus is pale whitish in colour, and has branches from which long, fine spines hang down like icicles. When young, the species has a more 'knobbly' appearance and is said to resemble a coral.

Kidney Fern New Zealand.

Kidney fern, Trichomanes reniforme, is a filmy fern species native to New Zealand. It commonly grows on the forest floor of open native bush. Individual kidney-shaped ferns stand about 5-10 cm tall. In hot weather they shrivel up to conserve moisture, but open up again when the wet returns. This species has very thin fronds which are only four to six cells in thickness.

Polar Bear Feeding

This weekend I visited the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, North Carolina. I saw so many fascinating organisms there, but this Polar Bear (Ursus Maritimus) during his feeding time was one of the most striking. Polar Bears are apex predators as well as a keystone species in their Arctic habitats. Predominately carnivores, Polar Bears love to eat harbor seals. However, they will scavenge when their primary prey is in shortage. Human influence and global warming has greatly impacted the Polar Bear populations. In their Arctic habitats, Polar Bears live on ice and will swim to travel and to find food. As the ice melts more rapidly due to climate change, Polar Bears have increased chances of dying trying to hunt their food with not as many areas to land for a rest in between swims. Also, Poaching has negatively effected Polar Bear populations. Sadly, the Polar Bear is considered a "vulnerable" species with scientists predicting a very grim future for the future populations of Polar Bears.

Giraffe stands before tree in the Serengeti

The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in north Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya between latitudes 1 and 3 S and longitudes 34 and 36 E. It spans some 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which is one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world. The region contains one national park: Serengeti National Park and several game reserves. Serengeti is derived from the Maasai language, Maa; specifically, Serengit meaning Endless Plains. Approximately 70 larger mammal and some 500 avifauna species are found there. This high diversity in terms of species is a function of diverse habitats ranging from riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands and woodlands.[4] Blue Wildebeests, gazelles, zebras and buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region. Currently there is controversy surrounding a proposed road that is to be built through the Serengeti in Tanzania. The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa.

Baby Desert Tortoise

Baby Desert Tortoise — Here's your "awwwwwwww, so cute!" moment for the day...nothing tops this one. Here we see a a desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) hatching from its egg, as photographed by one of our USGS scientists at the Western Ecological Research Center. USGS studies the life history and ecology of the desert tortoise, which is a federally listed threatened species only found in the Mojave Desert. Young tortoises are especially prone to predators like dogs and ravens, whose numbers can increase around areas of human activity and structures. Adult tortoises can be killed by car traffic, ingesting trash, and wildfires, and are affected by loss of habitat from urban and industrial development, cutting short their potential lifespan of 100 years. USGS research on desert tortoises are helping federal and state management agencies improve land use and conservation plans, and balance the recovery of this threatened species with other resource use priorities in the Mojave Desert landscape.

Blue and gold macaw

This shot of the Blue and Gold Macaw was taken at the Parrot Paradise exhibit at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore, which is among the largest in the world. Many species of parrots have become extinct or are in danger of doing so. This is the reason why special provisions have been made to encourage the breeding of parrots in captivity at the Parrot Paradise. So far, the Park has successfully bred 60 different species of the parrots in its collection.
