Incredible footage of a tigress and her three cubs was recorded
in western Thailand last year. With only 148-189 wild tigers in
all of Thailand, a tiger sighting is rare and even rarer to see
a tigress with three well-developed cubs.
The video was captured in Thailand’s Upper Western Forest
Complex, one of only two regions in the country where wild
tigers still roam. While tiger numbers are stable in Thailand,
the numbers are still low, and the population is vulnerable to
poaching and prey depletion.
“I’ve seen many camera trap videos of tigers, but this one
really stands out, it’s beautiful,” said Dr. Rungnapa
Phoonjampa, WWF-Thailand’s Senior Project Manager. "Many people
are giving their time and effort into protecting Thailand’s
tigers, such as the dedicated ranger teams and conservationists,
and it’s so rewarding to see this kind of video. It motivates us
to keep going!”
The video is one of a number of clips and photos captured over
the last few years in Thailand’s national parks that have
excited tiger conservationists. Camera trap photos of banteng—an
endangered wild cattle and tiger prey—revealed the animals were
returning to a national park thanks to conservation efforts,
after disappearing from the protected area in the 1970s due to
loggers and poachers. Tiger prey populations are fairly low
across Thailand and work is underway to increase populations of
animals such as sambar deer.

During the harvest season in the state of Maharashtra in India,
farmers find more than just sugarcane in the fields—they also
find little leopard cubs!
Wildlife SOS and the Maharashtra Forest Department recently
reunited a 45-day-old female leopard cub with her mother near
Tejewadi village in the Pune district.
To make the reunion a success, the team waited until nightfall
to set the operation in motion. Camera traps placed to monitor
the cub captured the joyful moment of the mother taking her cub
away to safety.

ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Securing a nest
The story begins as this tawny owl pair search for a suitable
site to start a family. When they return to last year's nest,
they have to fight barn owl Gylfie for it. But the battle is
worth it- this nest is special to Luna. This is where she grew
up as a fostered owl.
Tawny owl eggs
Luna goes on to lay 3 eggs, each 64 hours apart. Look out for
Bomber's joyful reaction when he spots the first one.
Eggs fail 😦
After 30 days of incubation, it was clear that Luna's eggs were
not going to hatch. Later I shine a torch through them and see
they were never viable.
Time to act
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080822141006-1726249.png
While a pair of jackdaws lay siege to the nest, blocking the
tawny owl mum inside, I am called out to rescue two tawny owl
chicks that have fallen from a straw stack.
A solution 🧐
The owls need a mum, and Luna needs babies - so I open the back
of the nest to let Luna out and clear the sticks. Then I place
the chicks inside in hopes that she will return.
Luna welcomes the orphans
Hours later Luna flies back to the nest and spots the owlets.
She rushes over and wraps them under her wings as if they were
her own. Later Bomber meets them and his reaction is equally
touching.
Jackdaws return
But the threat from the jackdaws isn't over and soon they have
trapped the family inside. Luna is visibly distressed. Without
my help, all three owls would surely die.
Parents compete
Luna, so delighted to be a mum at last, barely allows Bomber a
moment with the chicks. So possessive over them, she pushes him
away whenever he arrives with food or tries to spend time with
them.
Chicks grow fast
With all this love and attention the chicks grow up fast and it
isn't long before they take their first peeks outside the nest
and flap their wings, ready to fly.
ID Rings
Before they go, BTO licenced bird ringer Jean Thorpe of Ryedale
Rehabilitation arrives to clip ID rings on their legs. These are
individually numbered and help track owl populations across the
country.
Flying lessons
Luna acts as a teacher, encouraging the first chick (named Dusk
by our livestream fans) to hop to a nearby branch before
launching off into the trees.
More foster chicks
Just as Bomber & Luna's work is done, 3 more tawny owl chicks
are handed in. Luna instantly welcomes the first, but it takes
the owl parents a few days to realise there are more. Then a
third rescue arrives from Doncaster. We nickname him Donny and
watch with delight as he is accepted by the family.
All 6 owlets fly free
As I watch all 6 owlets flit through the trees it's incredible
to think back at their incredible journey.

[center]Designed for Darkness: The Unique Physiology and Anatomy
of Owls[/center]
Owls are the only truly nocturnal avian raptors and have several
unique adaptations to perfectly fill this role. For example,
their unique large tubular eyes, packed with light-sensitive
cells, enable owls to operate in almost total darkness, while
their remarkable auditory system allows them to operate in
complete darkness. This unique and complex auditory system is a
combination of specialised feathers forming a parabolic facial
disc, adjustable operculum, or flaps and, in some species,
asymmetrical ear openings. This unique system allows the owl’s
brain to construct an auditory map of space when locating its
prey. As remarkable as it seems, this is tantamount to owls
being able to hear in 3D. While there are minor variations in
the individual physiology between certain species due to the
type of prey they take and the habitat they operate in, all owls
are subject to the same unique adaptations in eyes, hearing,
head rotation, feather structure, digestive system, and hind
limb musculature. Each individual adaptation combines to make
the owl a superbly ☝🏻
[glow=teal,2,300]designed[/glow] nocturnal predator. There are
some shared mechanisms and behaviour patterns that are crucial
to its survival.
