In 2013, the total population of Komodo dragons in the wild was assessed as 3,222 individuals, declining to 3,092 in 2014 and 3,014 in 2015. Populations remained relatively stable on the bigger islands (Komodo and Rinca), but decreased on smaller islands, such as Nusa Kode and Gili Motang, likely due to diminishing prey availability. [79] On Padar, a former population of Komodo dragons has recently become extirpated, of which the last individuals were seen in 1975. [80] It is widely assumed that the Komodo dragon died out on Padar following a major decline of populations of large ungulate prey, for which poaching was most likely responsible.

Fortunately, pine martens are now protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and numbers are slowly increasing. Conservationists are working hard to save this special species, and we have joined the Pine Marten Recovery Project with the Vincent Wildlife Trust and other organisations to help grow pine marten populations in England and Wales. Following decades of research and survey work, 51 pine martens from healthy populations in Scotland have been carefully moved to Welsh forests, where they have established well. At least five pine martens gave birth last spring which is great news.

The lifecycle of a butterfly includes the egg, caterpillar, pupa, and butterfly stages. How Long Does The Average Butterfly Live? That was our biggest expenditure,” Carpenter said of the subliminal supermarket. 7. They Live's props were recycled from other movies. Years later, during an interview for the DVD release, Carpenter was asked if he ever considered making the fight any shorter in the editing room. His response: “F**k no!” 9. One guy played (almost) every alien. Watch out at dawn and dusk for otters that live in freshwater lochs and rivers. They tend to be nocturnal and range across large areas – up to 20 miles (30km) – in search of food. By contrast, coastal otters are often active during the day and don’t range very far because of the plentiful supply of seafood. Where might you see them?

Rising above the current malaise of British politics has never been more important for the House of Windsor and may hold the key to the future of the monarchy, Dr Owens said. Otters live along many of Scotland’s waterways, but head for the west coast and the islands for the best chance of spotting them. But the cost of maintaining the residences where the working royals live and ferrying them to events across the country — and around the world — comes out of the Sovereign Grant, which is a percentage of the annual profit made by the Crown Estate. They must be able to live independently, and have no financial obligations to spouses or family when joining. It was funny because I ended up doubling a lot of the stunt guys that were in there,” Imada recalled.On the wooded shores of Loch Sunart, the beautifully located Garbh Eilean wildlife hide is another good otter spotting place. Sit quietly and you might see otters as well as basking seals, seabirds and, in summer, ospreys and sea eagles fishing. You can’t test for these kinds of genes, though. So the only clues will be in their family tree, if you have access to it. A guinea pig whose parents and grandparents lived a long time might also be blessed with innate longevity.
