We start to plane for next year visit to Dominica We start to plane for next year visit to Dominica Island to swim with these magnificent sperm whales (Physeter macrophalus) sometime they can be so curious about you, if you approach them on the right way. Even if you don't hear it, they are scanning you. Their sonar goes out at 45 degrees from the top of their head.

The marmot (Marmota marmota) is the largest rodent The marmot (Marmota marmota) is the largest rodent of the Swiss alpine fauna and spends seven months in hibernation inside deep burrows dug into the ground. Rodents invade the meadows and some specimens go up to the houses, causing serious damage with their holes. The Cantonal Hunting and Fishing Office also explains that animals have understood that living in inhabited areas is convenient, given the absence of predators. The Valais administration has decided to intervene to regulate the population. The canton will then touch down the marmots in a controlled manner. A decision that neither tourists nor animal welfare associations accept. Who has not been watching are the peasants who, tired of the damage they have done, have started to do themselves justice.

The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), is a species of wild The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps. It is a sexually dimorphic species with larger males that carry larger, curved horns. The ibex became extinct in Switzerland and Germany by the 18th century, and was extinct in Austria and northeastern Italy by the 19th century. They remained only in and around the adjacent Gran Paradiso and Vanoise Massifs, then both part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. In a not entirely legal way – also known as smuggling – three ibex were successfully reintroduced into the Swiss National Park around 100 years ago. What followed is a true success story of this skilful climber with impressive numbers.

Male polar bears can weigh up to 800kg, and are tw Male polar bears can weigh up to 800kg, and are twice the size of females. This, in addition to the fact that they can measure up to 3 metres long, makes polar bears the largest land carnivore in the world. This bear was very curious and tried several times to get on our boat. We were stuck in the pack for a few days and every time we went out on deck we had to check that he wasn't already on top. But it was an incredible trip far north to Svalbard. Photographed on a Wildlife Photo Tour to Svalbard with tour@banfi.ch Next year I will visit Arctic again for the 5th time to document polar bears and walruses, if do you want to join I still have spaces left. tour@banfi.ch #bear #mothernature #Svalbard #polar #followme #instafollow #wildlifephototours #climatchange #wildlife #follow #Instagram #love #beautiful #instagood #arctic #photooftheday #bestoftheday #amazing #climateaction #instalike #naturelover #picoftheday #photography #smile #climatechange #globalwarming
The Portuguese man-of-war is a floating hydrozoan. The Portuguese man-of-war is a floating hydrozoan. It is actually a colony consisting of four types of polyps: a pneumatophore, or float; dactylozooids, or tentacles; gastrozooids, or feeding zooids; and gonozooids which produce gametes for reproduction. The long tentacles have numerous venomous microscopic nematocysts which deliver a painful sting powerful enough to kill fish and even occasionally humans.

Brown pelican (Pelecanus Occidentals) dives on fis Brown pelican (Pelecanus Occidentals) dives on fish from above and snares them in its bill. Pelican don’t store fish in their pouch, but simply use it to catch them and then tip it back to drain out water and shallow it immediately. February 2021, we'll be back and have organized a micro-group to photograph Gray whales nursing and pelicans feeding.

South America’s green anaconda (Eunectes murinus South America’s green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is, pound for pound, the largest snake in the world. Its cousin, the reticulated python, can reach slightly greater lengths, but the enormous girth of the anaconda makes it almost twice as heavy (250Kg). https://wildlifephototours.ch www.banfi.ch #Mares #happy #wildlifephototours #anaconda #followme #smile #Isotta_underwater_housings #Sony #Maresjustaddwater #wildlife #snake #photography #love #beautiful #unterwasser #instagood #BeAlpha #bestoftheday #fourthelement #photography #Banfi #picoftheday #instafollow #underwater
