Here, Tasmanian Devil lumbers briskly in the nighttime.
He has become the apex terrestrial predator.
On mainland Australia, dingoes outcompeted Thylacines thousands of years ago. More recently European settlers hunted Thylacines to extinction by the early 1900s. #2025MMM
MEANWHILE, amongst the limestone cliffs & broadleaf evergreen forests of northern Viet Nam, a social group of Delacour's Langurs ascended the rocky cliffs at nightbreak to reach a sleeping site and are snoozing safely in the karst. (Nadler et al. 2020) #2024MMM
Fear rushes over Delacour's Langur. Alone on the ground, away from his social group & far from the limestone cliff where he watches as sentry for predators, these unfamiliar sounds are terrifying.
