Macquarie Island Reborn:
From 300,000 Rodents & Rabbits to None
Penguins Return and Thrive
Thanks to Dogs!

8-10-22, Guardian -- Macquarie Island [21 miles x 3 miles] is a unique place in Tasmania halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. A $25 million dollar project was engineered to clear the land of cats, rabbits and rats allowing the populations of penguins (including the endemic royal penguin), albatrosses, petrels and prions to survive once more. They used -- DOGS.
​
Just like every other island on Earth, sailors during the 1800s brought cats, rats, mice and rabbits [for fresh meat] ashore which ultimately decimated the vegetation and insect populations turning the island into a barren rock.
New Zealand trainers delivered Labradors, Springer Spaniels and Terriers to chase down the pests. The dogs were trained not to harm the natural wildlife; walking through a colony of 5,000 penguins - with dogs off leash - with no harm to the penguins. It's estimated that approximately 300,000 cats, rabbits & rodents were eliminated! The island pest eradication has been seen as one of the best-performing conservation strategies employed worldwide by humans. Many islands from Macquarie to the Galapagos are now free from introduced European pests. Indeed, Macquarie is just one of 181 islands [here] that have - since 2000 - eradicated over 800 invasive species.

EU Targets Environmental Enemy =
​Cows and their excrement = 'urine'

6-30-22, Under the the guise of reducing “pollutants” the E.U. is targeting Farmers. ​The EU government says emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia [urine], which livestock produce, must be drastically reduced.
​The EU government published a map with reduction targets across the 27 nation bloc based on proximity to areas designated as part of the EU's Natura 2000 network of vulnerable and endangered plant and animal habitats. 
The EU ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia [animal urine]. The proposal is an “unavoidable transition” aiming to improve air, land & water quality. They warn that farmers will have to adapt or face the prospect of shuttering their businesses. More here

Homeland Security [DHS] has Warned Churches and Pro Life Pregnancy Centers to be Prepared for “Night of Rage” by Pro-Abortion Terrorist Groups

6-23-22, GatewayPundit -- Christian churches and pro-life pregnancy centers have been warned by DHS to be prepared for a “night of rage” by pro-abortion terrorist groups. Targets could include public gatherings, faith-based institutions, schools, racial, ethnic. religious minorities, government facilities and personnel, U.S. critical infrastructure, the media, and perceived ideological opponents of  killing unborn human babies in legalized abortion.
Recently the far-left terrorist organization “Jane’s Revenge” firebombed a pro-life pregnancy center in Buffalo, NY. Fire officials said the firebombing caused at least $150,000 in damage [reported here].

​The group also took responsibility for vandalizing a DC crisis pregnancy center and last week issued a terroristic threat against pro-life pregnancy centers. The terror group proclaimed: "Future measures may not come in the form of something so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti; it’s “open season” on pro-life centers." More here

Georgia, USA: Uninvited Guests 'Flying Spiders'

3/13/2022

 
Picture
3-9-22, NPR, Axios -- University of Georgia recently announced that an invasive species of spider the size of a child's hand is expected to “colonize” the entire East Coast this spring by parachuting down from the sky. Large Joro spiders — millions of them — are expected to begin “ballooning” up and down the East Coast as early as May. Researchers have determined that the spiders can tolerate cold weather, but are harmless to humans as their fangs are too small to break human skin. According to NPR the spider is native to Japan, but began infiltrating the U.S. in 2013, concentrating in the southeast and specifically Georgia. They fanned out across the state using their webs as tiny, terrifying parachutes to travel with the wind.  Andy Davis, author of the study and a researcher at Georgia's Odum School of Ecology reports that it isn't certain how far north the spiders will travel, but they may make it as far north as D.C. or even Delaware.
  • They're bright yellow, black, blue and red and can grow up to 3 inches
  • They likely traveled across the globe on shipping containers, similar to the Bubonic plague
  • Their life cycle begins in early spring, but they get big in June and are often seen in July and August.

How Animals React to Eclipse of Sun

8-14-17 -- During an eclipse seen in Portugal on August 21, 1560, astronomer Christoph Clavius wrote that during totality, “stars appeared in the sky and (marvellous to behold) the birds fell down from the sky to the ground in terror of such horrid darkness.”  Eclipse-chaser and author Dave Balch was in Kona, Hawaii, for the 1991 total eclipse and noticed excited activity among the birds along the pier during the partial phases before and after totality: “We could hardly hear each other talk! Then came totality – not a sound. It was deathly quiet. National Geographic here
Picture
Bees Stopped Buzzing During Eclipse 10-10-18, Smithsonian -- Researchers report that bees responded to this midday blackout of solar eclipse by falling silent. The results, obtained by analyzing recordings of tiny microphones suspended among flowers. The buzzing of the bees through all stages of the eclipse was heard. The bees were active and noisy right up to the last moments before totality, the part of a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks all direct sunlight and a night-like darkness settles over the land. As totality hit, the bees - in unison - went totally silent. “It was like someone turned out the lights and bees stopped flying. It was abrupt, it wasn’t gradual. It was like falling off a cliff, that abrupt.” 
​
For a bee to call it quits in the middle of the day is pretty unusual, unless something like a storm passes through. As Galen puts it, “bumblebees and honeybees have to make hay while the sun shines.” More here at Smithsonian

Decay & Desolation:
Owls Live With Vultures and Scavengers

Isaiah 13:21, 14:2, 8, 11-21
2-5-22, In this portion of the Bible's Old Testament we can assume it speaks of the ruin of Babylon; it was a noble city; yet it should be wholly destroyed. Humans shall not dwell there; it shall be a haunt for wild beasts. All this is fulfilled. The fate of this proud city is a proof of the truth of the Bible and an emblem of the approaching ruin of the New Testament Babylon. A warning to sinners to flee from the wrath to come. It encourages believers to expect victory over every enemy of their souls and of the church of God. The whole world changes and is liable to decay. Wherefore let us give diligence to obtain a kingdom which cannot be moved; and in this hope let us hold fast that grace whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. -- 
Matthew Henry 1700 AD

Owls vs Pesticides at CA Vineyards

10/30/2021

Humboldt State University in California Experimenting with Barn Owls Instead of Pesticides

10-20-21, EconoWatch -- Winemakers must pay close attention to their soil, the rain, the heat, and the sunlight. But rodents like gophers and mice can wreak havoc on a vineyard. Rather than turning to rodenticides to deter pests, graduate students at Humboldt State University in California are testing a more natural approach by using owls.

The experiment is part of a long-term research study under the direction of professor Matt Johnson of the university's Department of Wildlife. Students have placed around 300 owl nest boxes sporadically throughout the Napa Valley vineyards. They are documenting the impact of relying on owls to deter and remove pests rather than rodenticides.
The researchers have seen a difference in the 75 wineries and four-fifths now use the owl nest boxes and notice improved rodent control. The barn owls have a four-month nesting season, during which they spend about one-third of their time hunting in the fields. A family of barn owls may eat as many as 1,000 rodents during the nesting season or around 3,400 in a single year. Success with gophers but not mice, however. [..]

There's a long way to go in improving sustainable agriculture, including in the wine industry. Napa Valley has over 40,000 acres of vineyards, and only 3,800 acres are certified organic. With the increasing use of nest boxes, there's hope that farmers will rely on these more natural methods over the rodenticides.

Cape Cod, MA: Whale Swallows Man

6/12/2021

Bible history of Jonah swallowed by big fish here: Jonah 1:17, 2:10

Michael Packard swallowed by a whale:
How do we know it is true?

6-11-21, Cape Cod, MA, USA -- Lobster Diver, Michael Packard reports:

“I was completely inside; it was completely black,” Packard said. “I thought to myself, ‘there’s no way I’m getting out of here. I’m done, I’m dead.’ All I could think of was my boys — they’re 12 and 15 years old.” 
Outfitted with scuba gear, he struggled and the whale began shaking its head so that Packard could tell he didn’t like it. He estimated he was in the whale for 30 to 40 seconds before the whale finally surfaced."

Packard’s sister, Cynthia Packard, spoke with crewman Josiah Mayo, who relayed some of the details to her. Packard said Mayo saw the whale burst to the surface, and that he initially thought it was a great white shark.
“There was all this action at the top of the water,” Packard said Mayo told her. Then the whale flung her brother back into the sea. Mayo picked him up, called by radio to shore and sped back to the Provincetown pier. A Provincetown Fire Department ambulance took him to Cape Cod Hospital.
“Thank God, it wasn’t a white shark. He sees them all the time out there,” said Cynthia Packard. “He must have thought he was done.”
"Based on what was described, this would have to be a mistake and an accident on the part of the humpback," said Jooke Robbins, director of Humpback Whale Studies at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown. Humpbacks are not aggressive animals, particularly toward humans, she said.

The humpback was described by Mayo as being medium-sized, Michael Packard said, and Robbins suspects it was a juvenile feeding on sand lance. When a humpback opens its mouth to feed, it billows out like a parachute, blocking the animal’s forward vision, which is why so many become entangled in fishing gear in their mouth and jaws, said Robbins. Incidents of feeding humpbacks injuring swimmers and divers, especially instances of swallowing them, are so exceedingly rare as to be nonexistent, Robbins said. The esophagus on nontoothed whales is too small to actually swallow a human but they couldwrap their mouth around a large object and then spit it out. Robbins said that, unlike toothed whales such as Orcas.

Wyoming: Wolves Good for Ecosystem

​Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Twenty Five Years after Wolves Returned, Ecosystem Stabilized

7-10-20, National Geographic --  The predators that some feared would wipe out elk herds in Yellowstone Natl Park, Wyoming have instead proved to be more of a stabilizing force. New research shows that by reducing populations and thinning out weak and sick, wolves are helping create more resilient elk herds. For the past 12 years, elk numbers in the park’s largest herd have leveled off between about 6,000 and 8,000, instead of extreme boom-and-bust cycles. Chris Wilmers, Wildlife Ecologist from California reports: “Elk aren’t starving to death anymore.” [..]
 
Yellowstone area’s wolves now numbering between 300 and 350 — the study, published in the Journal of Animal Ecology reports that to maintain consistent numbers, rather than yo-yoing up and down, can better withstand more frequent droughts. Doug Smith, Yellowstone's senior wildlife biologist reports that: “In a future that will be very unpredictable, we want a buffer against mass die-offs,  wolves’ ability to keep elk herds balanced can play that role. Through hunting and management practices, humans help stabilize elk populations also, but they don’t do the same thing as wolves.” More here https://www.nationalgeographic.com 

Scripture for Today, 2-24-21: Animal Care

 Loving and Caring For Animals
​“Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.”

Proverbs 12:10

2-24-21, Whosoever is righteous will have kind regard for the life or the care of animals, whether they are pets or livestock. Clearly God's word shows that
 merciful and compassionate care given to our animals is very pleasing in His sight.

People who give humane treatment to animals is righteous in God’s sight. However that doesn’t mean they can be forgiven for their sin by the good works of having regard for the proper care & treatment of animals.

​Our righteousness & salvation only comes from forgiveness and the life changing event of turning to the Savior Jesus Christ (Luke 13:3; John 3:3, 7; Acts 4:12, 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
Bible verses about kindness to animals:

Deuteronomy 25:4 “You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.”

Proverbs 27:23 “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”

Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

Luke 14:5 “And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”

One of the most widely known theories is that dogs do this to cover their own scent, hiding from prey or other predators. Interesting that the Lord God almighty created animals with innate behaviors ... how else could it have happened that ALL dogs do it and no human trained them ... not even their parents?

​7 Ways Dogs Are Good for Your Health
12-6-20, AARP -- Dogs don't just have a hold on our heart, they can also keep it healthy by getting you on the move. Studies have shown that dog owners have a lower risk of high blood pressure, and a 2013 report issued by the American Heart Association concluded that owning a dog is most likely linked to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. As you age, the things that previously occupied your time fall away. 
Caring for an animal can help make you feel needed and wanted. They also add structure to your day. “You have to get up in the morning to feed the dog, right?” Marks says. “That dog needs you.” The interaction and companionship that a dog provides can also ward off feelings of isolation and loneliness, which, in turn, can lead to depression.

Watch This Friendly Encounter Between a Polar Bear and Dog Video

When two wildlife photographers saw a polar bear approaching a chained up sled dog, they were frozen stiff with horror – but the encounter actually turned out to be more heartwarming than anticipated.
The photographers had been exploring the Churchill region of Canada’s Hudson Bay, which is known to be the polar bear capital of the world.

Picture
Polar bears are also renowned for being aggressive predators. So when they saw one of the massive mammals meandering up to a the sled dog, they expected the worst.​

Picture
The bear, however, was apparently only looking for a playmate – and the dog was more than happy to oblige.

Silkworms: Amazing Miracle from God
​Spiders and at least 18 different orders of insects make silk. 

  • Silkworms are the larvae from silk moths (Bombyx mori). 
  • They produce silk fibers—water-insoluble filament from glands—to create cocoons; humans simply unravel the cocoons back into strings. 
  • Domesticated silkworms tolerate human handling and massive crowding and are totally dependent on humans for survival.
  • Silk fibers were used to make clothing by the Longshan period (3500–2000 BCE).
Picture
Silk fibers are a miraculous creation of almighty God. They are water-insoluble filaments that animals (chiefly the larval version of moths and butterflies, but also spiders) secrete from specialized glands. Animals store the chemicals fibroin and sericin—silkworm cultivation is often called sericulture—as gels in the insects' glands. As the gels are excreted, they are converted into fibers. Some use them to construct nests and burrows, but butterflies and moths use the excretions to spin cocoons. The silkworm caterpillar feeds exclusively on the leaves from several species of mulberry (Morus), which contain a latex with very high concentrations of alkaloid sugars; those sugars are toxic to other caterpillars and herbivores. 
Picture
Today silkworms domesticated and completely dependent on humans for survival, a direct result of artificial selection. Other characteristics bred into the domestic silkworm caterpillar are a tolerance for human proximity and handling as well as for excessive crowding. 

​Archaeological evidence indicates that the use of cocoons of the silkworm species Bombyx to produce cloth began at least as early as the Longshan period (3500–2000 BC). ​More here

Flannel Moths Become Toxic 'Toupee' or 'Puss Caterpillars'
The Most Venomous Caterpillar in the U.S. Invades Virginia

9-16-14, National Geographic -- University of Florida entomologist Don Hall reports that these insects may look soft, their outer comb-over (which some have compared to a toupee) hides small, extremely toxic spines that prick and remain in victim's skin. (More about venom here) Mr Hall said: “A puss caterpillar sting feels like a bee sting, only worse. The pain immediately and rapidly gets worse and can even make your bones hurt.” Some have been hospitalized.
​Also, the f
emale flannel moths (what puss caterpillars become as adults) covers her eggs with hairs from the tip of her own abdomen. Strangely they also fling their poop away from their bodies. Hall believes that behavior prevents parasites from being attracted to the feces and potentially harming the caterpillars themselves. (Also see “Scat-Firing Caterpillars Elude Predators.”)

10-7-20, Daily Mail -- Furry caterpillars covered in venomous spines invade Virginia:
  • The "puss" caterpillar has been spotted in eastern counties of Virginia USA
  • The insect is not common in this region, leading experts to say it is an outbreak
  • The insects are covered in a thick coat that is covered in venomous spines 
  • Anyone who comes in contact with it will feel pain, along with other symptoms including vomiting, fever and shock symptoms  ​​
The insects can grow from 1.2 inches up to 3 inches and their bodies are completely hidden under the thick coating of "hair" – but they peep their head out to feed. They're called 'Puss' because they resemble a furry kitten.

Maine, Michigan, Texas and Others See Honey Bee Populations Growing

​9-29-20, GoodNewsNetwork -- Recent data from the U.S. Dept of Agriculture show that some states are experiencing Honey Bee colony growth of 70% or more.

From Jan 2019 to Jan 2020 there's been a 14% increase of honey bee colonies across the USA. States experiencing the broadest increase in colony growth—Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Maine adding  tens of thousands of colonies.

This is especially good news as honey bees are are vital for stable, healthy food supplies. They pollinate, helping plants grow, breed and produce food. They do so by transferring pollen between flowering plants and so keep the cycle of life turning.
  • Maine, the number one state for thriving bees, saw colony numbers  grow by 73% since 2018
  • Michigan also saw a 50% increase over the same period
  • Between January and June 2020, Texas saw its bee population grow by 38%; between 2018-2019, it added almost 100,000 colonies totaling 33% overall increase.
​
The first half of 2020, the United States added roughly 420,000 more colonies to its bee populations than were lost. Thanks to bees we can enjoy a range of foods from fruit, vegetables to coffee and spices. And if you are wearing cotton, that's because the cotton plant your threads came from was pollinated. Source More here
