Female hippos lactate for an extended period, often lasting around 18 months or more. This prolonged lactation period contributes to the care and development of their offspring. The calf stays close to its mother, and the bond between them is crucial for the calf’s survival.

Grey-headed Kingfisher is a bit of a daredevil? known for their dramatic dive-bombing tactics to protect their nests from predators. Imagine a tiny bird fearlessly swooping down on a much larger lizard – it’s like a real-life action movie in the bird world!
