Meerkat pup…... Meerkats are primarily insectivores, but also eat lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, plants, eggs, small mammals, millipedes, centipedes and, more rarely, small birds. They are partially immune to certain venoms; they are immune to the very strong venom of the scorpions of the Kalahari, unlike humans. They have no excess body fat stores, so foraging for food is a daily need. Meerkats forage in a group with one “sentry” on guard watching for predators while the others search for food. Sentry duty is usually approximately an hour long. Baby meerkats do not start foraging for food until they are about 1 month old, and do so by following an older member of the group who acts as the pup’s tutor.The meerkat standing guard makes peeping sounds when all is well. If the meerkat spots danger, it barks loudly or whistles.

Tiger snakes feed mainly on mammals and birds under 300 g in weight. Tiger snakes habitually raid birds nests and have been found climbing trees to a height of 8 m. A good indicator of the presence of a Tiger snake is the alarm calls of small birds such as honeyeaters and thornbills. They also eat other vertebrates including lizards, smaller snakes, frogs and occasionally fish. Juvenile tiger snakes will use constriction to subdue struggling skinks, a principal food of smaller snakes. Adult snakes are also known to use constriction on larger prey as well. Tiger snakes are important predators of introduced rodent pests and readily enter the burrows of mice, rats and even rabbits in search of their quarry. On a number of offshore islands juvenile Tiger Snakes feed on small lizards, then as they approach maturity the diet switches to muttonbird chicks. Because these resources are limited competition is fierce and the chances of these snakes reaching adulthood is less than one percent. Occasionally Tiger Snakes will eat carrion. / A slow, careful hunter which may stand its ground if surprised, relying on its impressive threat display for defense. Like most snakes, Tiger Snakes are first cowards, then bluffers, and only become warriors as a last resort. If threatened a Tiger Snake will flatten out its neck, raising its head to make itself appear as frightening as possible. If the threat persists, the snake will often feign a strike, producing an explosive hiss or ‘bark’ at the same time. Like most snakes, Tiger Snakes will not bite unless provoked. / The highly toxic venom is produced in large amounts. The venom is mainly neurotoxic, affecting the central nervous system, but also causes muscle damage and affects blood clotting. The breakdown of muscle tissue can lead to kidney failure.

The Mulga Snake Pseudechis australis (also commonly known as the King Brown) is not a brown snake at all, but a member of the Black Snake family. This species is venomous and should not be approached. As you can see in this image, he was starting to get a bit cranky about our presence seen by his ‘flattening’. It is one of the most common elapid species of western NSW. This one was found north of Wilcannia.

Wasn’t sure weather to upload this or not but what they hey. I think Redbubble needs some comic book nerdery to break up all the photos of sunsets at the moment. 2007 is set to be Venom’s year. If you don’t know who he is, you will after seeing Spiderman3. Marvel is cashing in it upping his profile and putting Spidey back in his black costume as well.
