Things that can happen while filming Portia in the field: we had a (not so) little visitor wandering by with his chicks! Not sure who was more surprised… #cassowary #portia #daintree #storiesfromthefield

Imagine getting ready for your daughter to come home from her freshman year of college for Thanksgiving, and the day of departure she goes MIA, and then 48 nightmarish hours later she calls you to tell her that ICE goons kidnapped her and shipped her to Honduras www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/25/m...

We put up the seasonal cat attractor today. I thinks it’s appreciated by everyone in the house except possibly the lizard (he lives in the other room).

We had a couple wonderful encounters with Leopards in Kruger Park, SA. This female had finished eating and had just jumped down from a branch, when a Hyena came sniffing around.
I believe the hyena asked if he could have some of her kill, and I’m pretty sure this is a fairly emphatic “NO!”

I was reminded today of the time I came upon a freshly deceased vole lying in the middle of a trail. It made no sense - a murder mystery.

I realized I must have interrupted the perpetrator, who was now likely missing its meal. So I waited.

Another cool find at Emerald Arch in Ecuador was this membracid treehopper (Anchistrotus sp.) with its enormous helmet. While much more sluggish compared to other treehoppers, this species is quick to break off and drop its helmet when disturbed, allowing it to take off swiftly to escape danger.

There's a danger within our military that not enough people are talking about:

Flight crashes are killing our troops at record rates.
