Punch the Japanese Macaque : A Short Documentary from Ichikawa Zoo

Since I heard the story of Punch, there hasn't been a day that I haven't watched his videos for an update. I call it "My Daily Dose of Punch." I have to keep and share this short documentary of him because it shows a few photos of him in his early days. His photos are so adorable.

I am so interested in observing more of his unique being as a monkey. Despite the struggle to be part of a colony at a very young age without a mother to protect him and considered a baby, his curiosity and demeanor toward other monkeys, friendly or unfriendly, old or young, is very engaging to follow.

A Love for PUNCH 🙉

 

Nature. Beauty. Gratitude

I suddenly remembered this Louie Schwartzberg Ted talk while watching nature videos. It's been a while but it is worth sharing. 

"Let the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you."-Brother David Steindl-Rast 

Here's David Steindl-Rast talk on Gratefulness. He suggests that "happiness is born from gratitude."

Bizarre Insects

"A look at the complex relationships of the "mini monster", insect of the Membracidae family, treehoppers that live amid one of the richest ecosystems on the planet, so mysterious most people don't even know that it exists. A team of bug scientists take a look at these little creatures, many smaller than 6 mm, to reveal the complex relationships between these species and their environments."

The Wonderful World of Fungi

"Fungi from a hidden network that runs through the Earth like a system of life-giving veins. Scientist are only just beginning to understand the vital role fungi plays, poised between the plant and animal worlds. It's a mystery that is gradually being solved".

"Life on Earth wouldn't be possible without fungi. Yet they largely elude our view, as they form a finely tuned network that runs through the soil of the forests. Everywhere on Earth. Whether in the centuries -old rainforest of Tasmania or in China's Yunnan Province _ researchers are trying to understand exactly how fungi maintain the balance of ecosystems".

"So much more than mushrooms, fungi shape weather and support life on land. They're also at the cutting edge of medical research, and even have the power to break down plastic waste".

"Whether under the microscope or in the woods, the dazzling images in this documentary immerse you in the mysterious world of mushrooms".
