My friend, the lynx. He leads a secret life. He usually shuns the public. He prefers it when nobody knows about his presence. Some animal species are naturally shy by nature. The lynx is an animal with a fascinating character. Sharp eyes, brush ears and maximum speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour: The lynx is a very special cat.

I was enchanted when this gorgeous lynx looked at me. It touched me a lot and at first I could hardly operate my camera properly. It was a brief moment that totally disbalanced me. Of course in a good sense. I immediately realized that a new chapter in my photography opened up to me at that moment: Portraits! Animal Portraits. I really fell in love with these wild cats. Her look, her grace, her pride, her beauty overwhelmed me.

It is my wish to give you, my dear friends, more pictures of wild cats and other interesting animals to look at. Please give me some time for that. The beginning is made here, with the portrait of this beautiful Lynx.

Sharp eyes

Hawk - messenger in the sky

Your look is breathtaking. Your eyes are beautiful and you can see 8 to 10 times better than we do.

Elegant, dangerous and lightning fast - a hawk on the hunt offers a breathtaking sight. As a power animal, the hawk can teach us to use the right moment. He is courageous, quick, careful and smart. His eye is sharp; his flight ripped fast, similar to the wall swallow's flight. He is very shy. He lives in remote areas and seems to stay away from the world around him.

Endurance
Farsightedness
Speed

The fastest animal in the world is not the cheetah, it is the peregrine falcon. He can reach a speed of 350 km / h in a dive - possibly even more.

I am very impressed by this proud and beautiful animal. At the sight of this unique animal, I wondered why people no longer respect and appreciate such miracles of creation? Has Man lost the connection and understanding of such magnificent animals? The hawk is no longer in many places on earth. An animal that is so superior to us and from which we could learn so much. Let's do it, because it's worth it. The hunter of the skies deserves it.

Dedication: To the native people, wherever they are on earth, who have not lost their connection to creation and their ingenious creatures, or are searching for it.

I did not find a video over the hawk in connection with the native people but I found one with eagles which is very beautiful. (But yes, in the beginning you can see the amazing hawk as well.) Take the time and watch it my friends...

The clever fox ...
... knows what he wants

He is intelligent, he is playful and he is beautiful. The red fox I met recently. He knows what he wants and he knows how he gets it. I grew up with foxes in my environment and I love these animals. They radiate a cleverness and they are. I learned as a teenager that the fox was always passing by a farmer in our neighborhood at the same time because there were chickens there. He glanced over for a moment and then left when the door to the fence protecting the chickens was closed. But one day the farmer forgot to close the door so that the fox could open it with his snout. That morning most of the chickens were dead or already carried away by the fox. He knew that there would be an opportunity at some point to get the chickens.

There are foxes in our area again. I have not seen anyone for several years. Now foxes are traveling in one of my favorite forests. I've seen him a few times now while he was foraging. There must be young foxes in this forest, because a neighbor has already seen them there. Presumably, this is the mother of the little one, who is looking for something to eat for the big family. But it could also be the father. Is not that important to know that.

The fox my friend. I can really say that, because yesterday I was alone on the way close to the forest by a meadow and suddenly saw him in front of me. He looked at me, waited a moment, then slowly walked away, back into the forest. What a moment, what a pleasure I felt. It was only a few seconds that the fox looked at me, but it was breathtaking. Maybe I'm lucky and can still see the young foxes one time. In any case, I am in nature every evening and am so happy about the beautiful moments there.

Foxes care about their children. In May 2009, the British Daily Mail reported a baby fox caught in a sling trap. The little fox was badly injured and could not free himself. He survived the trauma only because his mother fed him food during this time until he was rescued.

I would like to invite you to look at this beautiful animal here and to share these special moments with me. I would be very pleased. I apologize if I have not visited some of my friends here lately. During the last days I was in the great outdoors and enjoyed the time there. I try to improve it and visit you again as soon as possible. Promised. Thank you for your understanding. In the meantime, I wish all my dear friends here a wonderful and blessed spring time with beautiful surprises wherever you are right now.

Dream with me a dream that the world will be a better one tomorrow....

Animal beauties - The Tiger (#4#)

The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), also called Amurtiger or Ussuritiger, is a subspecies of the tiger and the largest living cat in the world. The game population today is less than 500 animals that live in the Far East of Russia and adjacent areas of North Korea and China. The IUCN lists the subspecies as "endangered" (Endangered).

By 1940, the Amurtiger was practically eradicated. Only 50 animals still lived in the area north of Vladivostok in the former Soviet Union. Thanks to strict protection measures by the Soviet government, the stock increased to about 200 animals by 1982, meanwhile there are more than 500 animals in Russia and an estimated 30 more in China and North Korea. The tiger is still in acute danger of extinction because its bones are on the rise in Chinese medicine. And this despite the prohibition of tiger bone trade decided by the Chinese government in 1993. Unfortunately, illegal trade continues. Turntables are Thailand and Vietnam.

I was already impressed as a child by this beautiful animal, so much that it has not let me go until today. I wanted to see him again, the king of the big cats. So beautiful, so proud, so peerlessly! And yet, man has managed to kill this animal almost completely. It was a sight that touched me so much of an animal that has so many qualities that are superior to humans. I know and it hurts my heart, this proud animal belongs to the great outdoors, but I can only see and experience it here and feel its closeness.

I could cry when I think of the unreasonableness of the people who have killed this majestic animal almost completely. But I am so thankful that it returns to the wild: The royal tiger, the boss of the big cats. Love him.

Let us take care of our blue planet and its creatures. We only have one. Every life is sacred.

Animal beauties – Tiger family (#5#)

A tiger mother looks after her babies as carefully as possible. She would give her life for it if any of them were in great danger. It breaks my heart when I think of what people have done to these great royal cats and still do. I just can not imagine why human can kill such fantastic and beautiful animals for money. No, I will and can never understand !!! When I look at this photo, only when I see at the little sweet tigerbaby's tears fill my eyes. Tears of joy. I love these creatures so much.

I know - and this is my deepest wish - I would like to see these animals to where they belong: To the great wilderness, where they can lead a free and limitless life. Satisfied and as it was from the beginning, without a danger emanating from people.

A small question: How many of these cute little tigers do you see in the picture? I can only say: There are more than two. Zoom in with Z.

Thank you my dear friends for all your kind words and visits on my little work of love. I really appreciate every single one from them. Wishing you a fantastic summer vacation and a lot of happiness. I will stay at home and hopefully enjoy my homeland.
