As you can see in the video, Dwarf sperm whales have a special adaptation that allows them to release a cloud of ink from their anus when they are threatened, similar to squids and octopuses. This ink can confuse and deter their attackers, giving them a chance to escape

Let’s hope that these trees survive long enough to reach full size. What a sight they will be.

I agree totally… 
Good work going on in Glen Affric as well -

if you’re ever in my neck of the woods, go for a drive to here.
When I was young, my grandparents lived in a small town on Vancouver Island where my grandfather was an industrial electrician for MacMillan Bloedel who was a forestry giant back in the day. 42yrs he worked at that mill.
My parents would take me over for the weekend for visits, my grandad would pick me up at the ferry terminal in Nanaimo and we would make the 90min drive back through this park. Sometimes, he would stop and take me for a walk through the trees for a little while. they are giants, have their own ecosystem there

I can only deal with frozen rats or ones in preservatives, used for dissection.

Aurora borealis is supposed to be spectacular this evening, visible over most of Europe (subject to light pollution).
