Managed to record the common tenrec “puff sound”! Right at the start of the video.
Researchers think they might make the sound to communicate with other tenrecs.
Just a little larger than a quarter, the Oak Toad [Anaxyrus quercicus] is the smallest species of toad in North America. The largest of these toads grow no larger than 1.30 inches! They’re a common sight from Louisiana to Virginia. Males are smaller than females, with white bellies as opposed to speckled, and are capable of breeding at just a few months of age.
This is an Anna’s Hummingbird; named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli.
Also, evidently hand feeding Hummingbirds is a kinda popular thing. All you have to do is put sugar-water that’s been dyed red or any other bright, flower like color in your hand and stand around some hummingbirds.
It highkey looks like that hummingbird just attacked that person’s hand and is now drinking the blood though. Lol
…have you ever met a hummingbird? They want nothing more than blood.
Red dye isn’t good for them, especially if they’re drinking a lot. Instead, make a fabric flower silhouette and train them to come to that in your hand for the sugar water underneath, then they’ll come to your hand without it once they learn.
Don’t put red dye in your feeders, either, the red on the base is enough.
Also, those tiny feet mean they can’t really walk. They can shuffle sideways a bit, but that’s it. The babies don’t really move in the nest until they start learning to fly.
