There have been many times when drone pictures captured grim images, but on some occasions, they also manage to capture images that restore hope in viewers. It’s every drone owner’s dream to take unique pictures and stumble upon something great while patrolling the skies.
In 2019, biologist Vanessa, caught something amazing on camera while flying her drone over Costa Rica. She found the world’s largest swarm of sea turtles known to be caught on camera until the present time while investigating sea turtles and their reproduction.
On the footage, there can be seen thousands of turtles, swimming near the Costa Rican coastline and more turtles seem to be rising from the water. Vanessa had an instant feeling that she managed to capture a very special moment and one aspect of her work is to raise awareness about the protection of these species.
The main concern about the safety of the sea turtles is that the intense tourist activity in the area is affecting their nesting spaces and the turtle’s habitat.
She hopes that during her research she will find out why the turtles are present in that area in such a great number, especially during August and October.
Her findings will help conservationists ensure the olive ridley sea turtle’s survival.

“A sea turtle sanctuary in Costa Rica is under threat from over-development and mass-tourism. This video was created to bring awareness to the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge and the challenges it currently faces. The Wildlife Conservation Association is developing programs to protect sea turtles and other wildlife at this site. Our goal is to unite existing efforts in the community to promote sustainable tourism and development in the area. We are currently raising funds to establish a Center that will house all of these activities. “

According to a new study conducted at the University of Colorado show that some humans love dogs more than they love other fellow humans.
The research analyzed the attitude of humans towards the news and the subjects they care about, and it looks like individuals who read the news prefer dog-related content rather than human-related ones. The study also measured the subject’s level of anger and reaction towards news related to dog abuse.
Based on these premises, the researchers conducted another study to learn more about the reader’s behavior. 240 students were given articles with fake news about dog abuse and child abuse and their reactions were carefully analyzed.
A similar study was also conducted by a British charity, on the MSN website, in which they asked the respondents to choose from two different fundraisers to which they would donate money.
One asked for £5 for a sick child and the other one to help puppies in need. Both of the fundraiser’s had photos attached to the call for donations and the campaign featuring the puppies received 230 views, while the other one received only 111. In conclusion, people tend to take action when they recognize vulnerability and helplessness and empathize more with animals than with other human beings.

In 2018, a study published in the journal Scientific Reports found one reason we’re so attached to our dogs. According to the team, dogs make more facial movements when a human is paying attention to them.

The researchers used a video camera to record the facial movements of 24 dogs when there was either a human facing the animal, or facing away, with or without a treat.

It was previously thought that animal facial expressions were purely unconscious, but the study found that dogs raise their eyebrows and even make their eyes bigger when they are looking for attention from a person.

The presence of treats had no impact on the expressions the dogs made, suggesting it wasn’t about them turning on the charm to get extra snacks.

Instead, the researchers concluded it could be a route of communication between owner and pet.

Sit back, breathe deep, and discover an entirely new way to explore California.

Pedaling along our historic tracks, bathed in dappled sunlight and a light breeze, you’ll experience a new freedom on the rails, unlike anything else. Without the need to steer, you’re unbound, able to look around at the wonder of this untouched stretch of the natural world, spotting blue herons, osprey, an occasional lounging turtle, perhaps a playful river otter, a deer munching on the foliage, and during peak berry season maybe even a bear.

Our railbikes are a huge hit so far! We’ve had dozens of riders, and the feedback has been great! The ride is seven miles roundtrip, and takes a bit less than one hour for most riders.

For bookings and rules safety, visit: www.skunktrain.com as well as www.railexplorers.net and www.themanual.com for other railbike adventures.
