Have a look at this camera trap photo. This was a cool moment when a male great argus pheasant (Argusianus argus) tried to impress a female bird with his courtship or mating dance. 😉 The male bird fanned out and shook his feathers toward the female bird. Do you think the male bird managed to win the female’s heart? 😁

What An Interesting Photo Captured By The Camera T.. 22nd May 2022, by WWF Malaysia
What an interesting photo captured by the camera trap. A spiky animal, the thick-spined porcupine (Hystrix crassispinis), eating a spiky fruit, the durian. 😆
Many people think that porcupines are dangerous because they can shoot their quills like arrows. 🏹 The truth is that they cannot shoot their quills at all.
When it feels threatened, it will naturally defend itself. 😠 Thick-spined porcupines protect themselves by erecting their quills and swinging their spiny tails to scare off ...

Look At The Animal In This Camera Trap Photo. Dont.. 20th May 2022, by WWF Malaysia
Look at the animal in this camera trap photo. Don’t you think it is unique? 🤔 You can’t find any other mammals with scales from head to tail like the pangolins.
Pangolins have no teeth but they have long, sticky tongues for catching ants and termites. That tongue can reach a foot long. That’s the length of two MYR 10 notes. Isn’t that fascinating? 😲
Sadly, this tough-looking mammal is heavily and illegally hunted in the wild. 😥 Do you know? Sunda pangolins (Manis javanica) a...

Do You Know? A Critically Endangered Migratory Bir.. 15th May 2022, by WWF Malaysia
Do you know? A critically endangered migratory bird, the Spoon-billed sandpiper (Calidris pygmaea) was recorded in Bako-Buntal Bay, Sarawak in February 2022. 😮 This bird is one of Asia’s rarest and most endangered migratory birds. Its global population is estimated at around 490 mature individuals.
It is important to conserve and protect Bako-Buntal Bay so it remains a good and safe “stopover” for migratory birds during their “winter journey”. 💪

For A Road Trip, We As Humans Need A Drive-Thru Or.. 15th May 2022, by WWF Malaysia
For a 🚗 road trip, we as humans need a drive-thru or a stop at the gas station before we proceed to drive a long journey.
Do you know? Shorebirds migrating from one place to another also need to stop to “recharge”. 🔋 As the name implies, they roost and rest on shores, usually on or near mudflats before continuing on their journey. Mudflats are rich in food resources. “Fast food” is available everywhere for these shorebirds to feast on! 😋

Migratory Shorebirds Travel At The Same Speed As W.. 14th May 2022, by WWF Malaysia
Migratory shorebirds travel at the same speed as we usually do while driving, ranging from 25 to 90 km per hour depending on the species, prevailing winds and air temperature. Like humans, driving speed also depends on the drivers, weather and traffic conditions. 😂 Migrating birds will fly at certain altitude and take advantage of the tail wind conditions to minimize energy use.
