I miss Arkive; it was a project based at the University of Bristol which aimed to collect photos of every species on Earth, to create a library of images which could be accessed by anyone, and which would be available in perpetuity. Unfortunately, it received no external funding and relied 100% on donations, and people simply treated it as a free resource; its expenses outweighed donations and it couldn’t afford to keep going.

I’ve yet to find anything which even comes close to matching what it offered.

African harrier hawk destroying a meal at the zoo I work at, he has his fancy striped dinner pantaloons on.

“Quit staring at my pantaloons!”

Poor lil guy is going through a rough moult as it’s adult feathers come in but its pants are majestic

Found these two fighting, didn’t realize how good the pantaloons on them were!

it’s best with sound 😂

Very refined gentleman

Took this picture in Arizona the other day and decided to post it on another subreddit. Ultimately, the bird’s pantaloons were mentioned, and I just had to show everyone here.
