Can you outstare this Tree bumblebee? 3, 2, 1 – go! 👀 By the way bumblebees have five eyes. Two large compound eyes see shapes and basic colours, and three small simple eyes in the centre of their head, called ocelli, help to detect changes in light. Good luck! How did you get on? 😅

🦇 Can you spot our bark-coloured snoozer? Sometimes the best hiding place is right in plain sight. Take a close look before you scroll… and leave this little napper to its well-earned rest!

Continuing my theme of "Why would a bat weighing 6g do this??" look what Mike did last night. 👀 (yellow highlight). At 18.40, he was holidaying in Prestatin. By half past midnight he was in Cardiff. In a straight line that's 130 miles in under 6 hours. #bats #wildlife #movementecology

Elephant bottoms are rather sweet – and this one doubly so, because it belongs to Kipekee, one of our beloved Nursery babies. Every big girl goes out of her way to keep her safe from the boisterous boys.
