Ant mimics look like AI generated ants. Both of the following photos made my "is that AI" sense twitch, but these are both real photos of ants along side a rove beetle mimic in the first and a spider mimic in the second.
Maybe the way that AI is adjacent to mimicry is part of what makes it creep me out so much.

I'm struggling with b/w photography a bit. In my mind, nature is all about colours. So I grabbed the camera, changed the settings, and went to see if I can make it work. All the images are straight from camera.
Sorry, no alt texts this time. It was just too much.

Lions rescued from Ukraine arrive at the purpose built Lion Rescue Centre at the Big Cat Sanctuary.
One arrived at the sanctuary last year. The other four have been living temporarily in Belgium while their new habitat was being built. They were collected last week to travel to their new permanent home. All the lions will need special care after suffering trauma and in some cases injuries in the war zone.
The Big Cat Sanctuary is doing amazing work. They recently led the efforts to re-home a large number of cats of various species from a so-called sanctuary that was closed down by the authorities and its owner prosecuted for welfare violations.
They're a charity, so can always use donations, or to have something bought for them from their Amazon Wish List. They have a great YouTube channel too.
