Some days, the wildlife here can be as engaging as almost any television show or movie. This particular afternoon, a Chalk-Browed Mockingbird decided to take on a resident Tegu, native to South America. Though the bird is overmatched in size, she has no shortage of self-confidence. The bird was likely guarding a nearby nest, but the Tegu seems completely unbothered and likely more interested in the nearby produce. The interaction is short lived, but priceless.

November 28, 2021 at 2:49 pmWonderful nature and instinct kicking in to protect the young. Sentient beings at their best. I’m happy to see the UK naming the octopus and crabs as sentient beings.
