African Pygmy Kingfisher accident You probably know the African Pygmy Kingfisher—a tiny burst of colour no bigger than your thumb, yet one of the most dazzling birds we have. One flew into our door just before we were leaving for Kruger Park on Saturday morning, and it was stunned and lying on its back on the front step. We delayed our departure a bit to take care of it, and hopefully it was not too badly hurt, and will carry on to nest this year. #nature #wildlife #biologist #bird #birds #birds

"Self-Annointing" Behavior in an African Pygmy Hedgehog. Also called "anting", hedgehogs hypersalivate and make a sticky froth when they encounter something interesting and unusual smelling. In this case it was our leather gloves. Then they spread the froth on their spines, possibly as a defense mechanism. | Avian and Exotic Animal Care
