Let Us See What We Find With Alphabet Hunt Letter "T"
Tiefland-Nyala Shy medium sized antelope with scientific name of Tragelaphus angasii, older males wonder around alone, while females are found in groups. Only the male grows horns, common name is Nyala, meaning shy one, my book of reference from local national parks board is Tiefland-Nyala so first animal photograph is of a handsome male and second photograph the females.
Tidal Pools High tide the waves thunder in over this ledge of rocky formation, to witness the tide pools one needs to check timing of visit. Total curiosity takes over getting to see what is beneath, tantalizing views of sea life we normally do not witness.
Trumpeter Hornbill Medium sized hornbill of approximately 60 cm with large casque on bill. Trumpeter-hornbill is found in coastal forest enjoying fruits in forest trees. Noisy in flight having a far reaching call that sounds like a baby tantrum "whaaa waa waa".
Tapestry Terrific gift brought back by friends, knowing my love of nature, an Inca Calendar Design with Hummingbirds Tapestry, now carefully framed to enjoy thoughtfulness in a gift that lasts a lifetime.
Train Tickets Time travel into a past when trains were used daily, purchasing monthly pass was the accepted thing to do. Tabulating damage done to infrastructure, seven-fold loss in engineers and technologists since 1994, trains will more than likely never be the same again without tactical planning.
Tree What would life be without trees, they have been around long before us, we now celebrate Plant A Tree day to try sustain balance after years of tearing them down. Trees communicate in their own way, a fun thought to ponder....
Four decades ago, scientists noticed something on the African savannah. The giraffes there were feeding on umbrella thorn acacias, and the trees didn’t like this one bit. It took the acacias mere minutes to start pumping toxic substances into their leaves to rid themselves of the large herbivores. The giraffes got the message and moved on to other trees in the vicinity. But did they move on to trees close by? No, for the time being, they walked right by a few trees and resumed their meal only when they had moved about 100 yards away.
The reason for this behavior is astonishing. The acacia trees that were being eaten gave off a warning gas (specifically, ethylene) that signaled to neighboring trees of the same species that a crisis was at hand. Right away, all the forewarned trees also pumped toxins into their leaves to prepare themselves. The giraffes were wise to this game and therefore moved farther away to a part of the savannah where they could find trees that were oblivious to what was going on. Or else they moved upwind. For the scent messages are carried to nearby trees on the breeze, and if the animals walked upwind, they could find acacias close by that had no idea the giraffes were there.
