Time for Chamboi to get into his pyjamas! 🎥 by @sheldricktrust « His cherry red blanket sure looks cute, but it serves a practical purpose, too: Baby rhinos are very fragile and susceptible to the elements. In the wild, their mother’s body heat would keep them warm. For the orphans in our care, a cosy blanket, swaddled with care, has the same effect. » says @sheldricktrust Chamboi is a critically endangered black rhino. Orphaned as a newborn, he now has a family with @sheldricktrust and a wild future ahead of him.

Have you ever seen a pangolin drinking water? 🎥 by @tay_mccurdy « It has been said that one adult pangolin can eat millions insects every single year. Most of the moisture they require will come from said insects but when there’s an opportunity to drink, they absolutely will. This pangolin was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, one of the lucky ones. If you’re ever looking for organisations to donate to, to help cover medical costs during the intensive rehabilitation stage, I highly recommend @provet_animal_hospital and @umoyakhulula  » says @tay_mccurdy .

What a recue by @jamessuter of three seals Read hereafter is what happened: « Yesterday we were in the West Coast National Park in South Africa. Fortunately we were able to rescue three seals that were entangled in a net. In this video you can only see two of them - so grateful they all made it. It was a very tangible reminder of how important it is to educate ourselves, clean up our beaches and work to ensure plastic and things like this are not in our oceans. There is so much plastic and other waste, I can’t imagine what animals go through. We had a leatherman with us thanks to my brother in-law @guygaf - who much like me, is never without one. Keep watching until the end of the video - you’ll see the seals cuddling and comforting each other too after happily bounding into the ocean - free from the net! » Credits 🎥 by @jamessuter #wild #life #wildlife #seal #rescue #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlifeaddicts #africa #bigcat #africanamazing #wildlifeplanet #animalonplanet #adventure #bigcatswildlife #nature #africanimals #bigcatsconservation #wildonplanet #lion #cat #wildlifeowners #discovery #wildliveplanet #animallovers #naturelovers

Look how the octopus is able to change colour 🐙 🎥 by @ibrahim.elhariry 📍Red Sea, Egypt The octopus is renowned for its unique ability to change colour. This fascinating phenomenon is the result of a complex interaction between the pigment cells in its skin. The octopus uses this mechanism to communicate, hunt, camouflage and express emotions. This ability enables it to blend perfectly into its environment, evading predators and detecting its prey more easily.
