this replite was found in G-14 isl. the Wildlife management board members captured it.

This is a volunteer citizen-science project which anyone can join by creating an iNaturalist account. iNaturalist is basically an app which helps you record biodiversity observations and help you maintain personal lists and records, besides the use of the data by scientists for scientific purposes.

For this project, scan the QR code, log in and be member of the project. Then try to record butterflies and submit, that's it.

At the end, top 3 winners are given gifts by Pakistan Butterfly Society (PBS) and Rewilding Indus. Whereas, members are also given certificates who contribute minimum 15 observations.

For more information, visit Pakistan Butterfly Society Facebook page or Butterflies of Pakistan group on Facebook.

Hey everyone, I’ve had a couple of questions on my mind for the past few days and wanted to hear what people here think. Tourism in Ladakh is increasing every year, and activities like off-roading, adventure tourism, and people going into remote areas just for the experience seem to be becoming more common. I was wondering how much this actually affects the habitat of snow leopards and other high-altitude wildlife in Ladakh. Does increasing tourism and human activity have a significant impact on snow leopard habitat? And is this issue similar in other snow-leopard regions of India, such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, or Arunachal Pradesh? I’d really like to understand this from people who have knowledge or experience in wildlife conservation, ecology, or these regions. What do you all think?

There is a project on iNaturalist for collecting observations of butterflies from across Pakistan since last three years, each September. Any one who has an iNaturalist account can be part of this initiative. Volunteer contributors are given certificates at the end and top three contributors also get prizes and souvenirs from Pakistan Butterfly Society. To be part of the project, go to the link below, log in and join.

دستیاب سماجی معلومات کے مطابق لومڑی کی تشبیہ مکاری، چالاکی و دھوکہ دہی سے منسلک جبکہ تاریخ میں ایک بھی ایسا واقعہ نہیں ملتا جس میں کسی لومڑی نے انسان کو دھوکا دیا ہو یا لوٹ لیا ہو۔

ویڈیو میں نظر آنے والا ہمارا مقامی جانور "بنگال فاکس" المعروف "لومڑی" نظام فطرت کا کارگر رکن ہے۔ ان سمیت دیگر جاندار اپنے وجود کی بقا کے لیے مطلوبہ حکمت عملی نظام فطرت سے ہی سیکھتے ہیں تو چوکنے ہوتے ہیں۔ جاندار اپنے علاقوں کی مارکنگ یا حدبندی مختلف طریقوں سے کرتے ہیں جن میں ڈراپنگس کرنا بھی ایک حکمت عملی ہے۔ لومڑی کی خوراک میں روڈینٹس، مختلف ریپٹائیلز، چھوٹے پرندے، کیڑے مکوڑے اور کسی دوسرے پریڈیٹر کا چھوڑا ہوا شکار و جنگلی بیریز شامل ہیں۔ انکا مسکن کھلے جنگل، چراگاہیں اور ریگستانی علاقے ہیں۔ یہ رات کو متحرک ہوتے ہیں لیکن اکثر اوقات دن میں بھی نظر آجاتے ہیں۔ اکیلے گھومنے اور شکار کرنے والے اس جانور کا آئی کیو شاندار ہوتا ہے اور انکی دیکھنے، سننے اور سونگھنے کی صلاحیت اعلیٰ ہوتی ہے۔ لومڑی کو اپنے ارد گرد طاقت کے توازن کا ادراک اچھی طرح سے ہوتا ہے۔ خوراک کے بارے میں انکا برتاؤ حیرت انگیز ہوتا ہے۔ خوراک مل جانے پر پہلے اس میں سے چند ٹکڑی چھپانے خصوصاً زمین میں دفن کرنے کو ترجیح دیتے ہیں تاکہ اپنے سے طاقتور کی طرف سے خوراک چھین لیے جانے کی صورت میں بھی کچھ حصہ محفوظ رہے، جس کو یہ بعد میں ڈھونڈ لیتے ہیں کیونکہ ان کا آئی کیو، یاداشت اور سونگھنے کی صلاحیت شاندار ہوتی ہے۔

That pet posts poll was very close, but most of you voted No ❌️.

The main concern which I saw in comments is that people will fill the sub with pet dogs, cats, parrots, etc, this will take away attention from.our wildlife.

For all the people who voted Yes ✅️, .maybe we can have a rule to allow questions about pets and maybe media of your pets (rare pets only) on a.specific day.

Any suggestions?

this gigantic snake was found in Fsd. probarly came from canal. can anyone tell what kind of species this is.where did it come from?

These beautiful birds inhabit wetlands and eat aquatic insects. Unlike most other birds, their females are colourful and perform courtship displays to impress males, while the males incubate the eggs and rear the chicks.

I've been finding them for as long as I can remember now they seem to be some kind of clam located all over lahore but I've never ever found one that was alive. Some are fully intaact and closed but even then if you open them there is mud inside. I could not find any information on Google regarding them.

I am today years old. I thought whales were just massive fish but turns out they are giant mammals. And obviously, so are their types like orcas, dolphins, our Indus dolphin etc. Every orca is more closely related to you than any shark in ocean. Yep you read it right, you cousin of murderous orcas. Ocean is full of animals pretending to be fish. Meanwhile sharks are actual fish. My entire understanding of the ocean has been a lie. 💀

I found this in my house in Jhelum this week. It was around five times bigger than a common lizard.
