A weka and her curious chick forage side by side at Lake Mahinapua - West Coast, NZ

These flightless birds are full of personality—and part of what makes New Zealand’s native wildlife so special.

A weka and her chick walk closely side by side across damp green grass. The adult weka has brown, speckled plumage and a long beak, while the fluffy chick is slightly darker and still downy, mimicking its parent's movements.

Public lands eligible for sale in the bill encompass over 250 million acres, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas, inventoried roadless areas, critical wildlife habitat and big game migration corridors...cont..
The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country. It trades ordinary Americans’ access to outdoor recreation for a short-term payoff that disproportionately benefits the privileged and well-connected.

Paper Wasp With Water Drop.
I am not completely sure what she is doing here. It was a really hot day, and apparently sometimes they spit out a water ball and hold it in their mandibles to cool down through its evaporative effects. Or maybe it is getting ready to take water to the nest, to make pulp or hydrate the larvae!

Just as the sun was rising in Kaikōura, I spotted this little face watching me from the rocks, lit perfectly by golden light.
Living among these incredible creatures is something I’ll never take for granted.
🦭 But their survival depends on how we treat our oceans.

In a practice known as guerilla rewilding some environmentally-minded landowners are reintroducing native animals to their properties, without approval. They want the rules changed so more private sanctuaries can be established. But scientists say this could have serious animal welfare consequences.

A New Zealand fur seal pup rests on the rugged Kaikōura coast.
Innocent, alert—and already navigating a world that’s rapidly changing.
Our oceans are warming, our fish stocks are declining, and every seal pup like this is a reminder of what’s at stake.
