The Bitter End

allcreatures: This image captures a white collared kingfisher’s flight sequence. The ten action shots were all caught within half a second by award-winning photographer CS Ling while on a river wildlife photo safari in Borneo. The photographer said: The shutter speed of 1/2000s was just right to freeze all ten different wing postures of the kingfisher. Picture: C.S.

Thors Well, Oregon Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland – a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides. Thor’s Well is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean’s power. This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch - at high tide or during winter storms. Written by: Simone Preuss

wiseignorance: Metasepia pfefferi - Pffefer’s Flamboyant Cuttlefish  Pffefer’s Flamboyant Cuttlefish can be found from Australia to the Philippines to Malaysia. This cuttlefish eats fish and crustaceans, and uses varied camouflage and patterns to do so. When threatened they display red on their arms, and it’s thought that this is also a warning that they are toxic. Toxicologists have studied the chemicals in their muscles and have determined that Pffefer’s Cuttlefish has toxin as strong as the Blue Ringed Octopus’s. Photo © Brent Christiansen View Larger
