Un bébé éléphant et sa mère au parc du Masai Mara, Kenya. Les éléphants sont les plus grands animaux terrestres vivant actuellement. Bien qu'ils soient, comme de nombreux mammifères, menacés par l'activité humaine et le braconnage, on en trouve en abondance au Kenya, essentiellement au parc d'Amboseli mais aussi, en moins grand nombre, au Masai Mara.

The provocation: A bowl of gumdrops and a handful of toothpicks. The second provocation (after we each ate a gumdrop, just to get that elephant out of the room): A square base of four gumdrops, attached together with four toothpicks, and one more toothpick sticking straight up out of the base. And with that, the […]
M. B. C. Hickey, PhD, Research Scientist and Education Program Leader from the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences and his team. The little brown bat is becoming very rare due to a fungus called the white nose syndrome. Last evening we recorded little brown bats, hoary bats, and possibly a big brown bat. Our hope is to tag some of these bats to further our understanding of their populations. Ultrasound detectors like this one are used to identify bat species.

They are represented by three extant species: theAfrican bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (L. cyclotis) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). The two African species were traditionally considered to be two different subspecies, in the same species. These three species are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa and South to Southeast Asia. They are the only surviving proboscideans, although several extinct species have been identified, including the elephants' close relatives, the mammoths. Elephants are the largest living terrestrial animals. Male African bush elephants can reach a height of 3.20–4 m (10.5–13.1 ft) and a weight of 4,700–6,048 kg (10,362–13,334 lb). The animals have several distinctive features, including a long proboscis or trunk that they use for numerous purposes, particularly for grasping objects. The ear flaps are particularly large and help to control the temperature of their massive bodies. Their incisors grow into large tusks, which serve as tools for digging and moving, as well as weapons for fighting. The African species have larger ears and concave backs while the Asian elephant has smaller ears and a convex back. Elephants are herbivores and they can be found in numerous habitats, including savannas, forests, deserts and marshes, and prefer to stay near water. Elephants are considered to be keystone species due to the impact they have on their environments. Other animals tend to keep their distance, and predators such as lions, tigers, hyenas and wild dogs usually target only the calves. The social life of elephants can vary. Females or cows tend to live in family groups, which can consist of just one female with her calves or several related females with offspring. The latter are led by the oldest cow, known as the matriarch. Elephants appear to have a fission-fusion society in which multiple family groups come together for socializing. Males or bulls leave their family groups when they reach puberty, and may live alone or with other males. Adult bulls mostly interact with family groups when looking for a mate. Bulls enter a state of increased testosteroneand aggression known as musth, which helps them gain dominance and have reproductive success. Calves are the center of attention in their family groups, and rely on their mothers for as long as three years. Elephants communicate by touch, sight, and sound. They are known to use infrasound and seismics for long-distance communication. Elephants are highly intelligent, being comparable to primates and cetaceans. They appear to have self-awareness and show empathy for dying or dead individuals of their kind. African elephants are together listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), while the Asian elephant is considered to be endangered. One of the biggest threats to elephant populations is the ivory trade, as the animals are poached for their ivory tusks. Other threats to wild elephants include habitat destruction and conflicts with local people. Elephants are used as working animals in both Asia and Africa and are employed for a numbers of tasks. They have also been used as instruments of war, and have been put on display in zoos and circuses. Highly recognizable, elephants have played important roles in human cultures, and have been featured in art, folklore, religion, literature and popular culture. Nymphaeaceae /ˌnɪmfiːˈeɪsiː/ is a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains eight large-flowered genera with about 70 species.[1] The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species in the Northern Hemisphere.[1] The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies endemic to South America.[1] Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria. Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated.[2] Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade. Horticulturally water lilies have been hybridized for temperate gardens since the nineteenth century, and the hybrids are divided into three groups: hardy, night-blooming tropical, and day-blooming tropical water lilies. Hardy water lilies are hybrids from the subgenus Castalia; night-blooming tropical water lilies are developed from the subgenus Lotos (L.) Carl Ludwig WilldenowWilld.; and the day-blooming tropical plants arise from hybridization of plants of the Brachyceras Casp. subgenus.
