More underwater footage from Terrigal on Darkinjung Country, NSW Central Coast. Although the water is only just starting to warm up, there is so much new life out there - including mating sharks and stacks of fish recruitment. Hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/QK0h6Jm0zyM

What a difference a bit of rain (pula) makes: 2024 was a very dry year across southern Africa, and northern Botswana was no exception. The Thamalakane River where I take student groups was almost bone-dry, even after the small mid-year flood. (1/2)

In dry landscapes, you need to safeguard every bit of growth in order to survive. So, plants need some serious defense mechanisms. Not an ideal place to fall over in or to have your arm swiped when filming out the car window (apparently 😉)! Khomas Mountains, central #Namibia

Visitors to #Botswana always want to see lions, leopards, or other large iconic wildlife. But, the cutest, most serendipitous, and (for me) a new species sighting from last year was an acacia rat, Thallomys paedulcus. Spotted by an eagle-eyed student peering out from a tree hollow at Xakanaxa.
