Nature Is Metal

Snagged It 📽 by @jakewalsh2 Shots like this one are hard to get, you can probably guess why that is by the shot itself. However, this behaviour is quite common for northern water snakes, who are known to actively hunt fish. These are non-venomous snakes, which IMO make them even more badass - I mean that in general - a non-venomous snake has to put in more work to get fed than a venomous one. It's the difference between having to fight tooth and nail to wear down and subdue something to eat OR walking up and injecting your target with a syringe and then laying back and waiting for it to take effect before acting. One of these things is not like the other, with the added bonus of nV snakes being relatively harmless to humans in comparison. Obviously we are not talking anacondas, but the little ones in your garden. Anyway, back to the northern water snake. To detect prey underwater, they use the same Jacobson's organ that they would use on land, only this chemosensory tool doesn’t work as well underwater because of the current. However, when paired with the snakes vision and ability to detect vibrations in the water, these snakes are quite efficient at locating and capturing what one might presume to be safe from the glare of the predatory serpent - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

We've all been there, having a nice meal with good company and you realise you have a bit of fish stuck between your teeth.

In search of the increasingly rare, old-school joints that still cook barbecue the way it’s been made in North Carolina for centuries, the writer Ingrid Williams went to the lively college town of Greenville. She proceeded to nearly eat her weight in pulled pork, coleslaw and hush puppies. Williams wasn't just looking for any kind of barbecue, but what's known as “eastern North Carolina” style. Think whole hogs, smoked low and slow over wood, served in a peppery, vinegar-based sauce. Read about the spots Williams visited — and whether she found the barbecue she was looking for — at the link in our bio. Photos by @laurenviedallen 

PENDAKI GUNUNG INDONESIA

Menurut informasi jenazah JulianaMarins sudah diotopsi ulang (03/07) berdasarkan keinginan keluarga. Hasilnya akan diterima setelah7 hari. Meski begitu sebagian warga Brasil menyayangkan aksi keluarga yang tidak mau menerima kenyataan. Bahkan sebagian warga Brasil menganggap keluarga Juliana Marins hanya mencari sensasi dan tidak membiarkan Juliana Marins beristrirahat dengan tenang. Keluarganya diiundang di stasiun TV dengan menyudutkan Indonesia. Padahal konsekuensi mendaki gunung aktif sangat besar. Selain itu mereka mengizinkan anaknya mendaki gunung dengan kondisi mata minus dan tidak ada pengalaman mendaki. Babak baru tragedi Juliana Marins terus berlanjut. Bahkan mereka mengancam Indonesia jika kejadian tersebut terbukti diakibatkan kelalaian Teks: indoflasfhlight.id, foto: lombokhiker 

PENDAKI GUNUNG INDONESIA

Inovasi terbaru, Jalur Pendakian Semeru memang memukau. Tapi meski kerap dianggap “ramah,” pendakian tetap menyimpan risiko mulai dari tersesat, terjatuh, hingga hilang. Tak jarang, proses evakuasi memakan waktu lama karena sulitnya melacak posisi pendaki. Situasi seperti ini tentu bikin keluarga sahabat dan tim evakuasi harap-harap cemas. Kini, setiap pendaki akan dibekali gelang atau kartu RFID yang memungkinkan pelacakan posisi secara real-time. Dengan teknologi ini, penanganan darurat bisa dilakukan lebih cepat dan tepat sasaran. Yuk Sahabat, kenali cara kerja gelang pelacak RFID agar pendakianmu makin aman dan tenang. Sumber : BBTNBTS Foto : @dianisarisofia #mountnesia #semeru #gunungsemeru #pendakigunung 

PENDAKI GUNUNG INDONESIA

Lombok – Insiden tragis di Gunung Rinjani yang merenggut nyawa pendaki asal Brasil, Juliana Marins, terus menjadi sorotan publik internasional. Di tengah gelombang kritik dan tuntutan keadilan, sosok Ali Musthofa pemandu lokal yang mendampingi Juliana akhirnya angkat bicara. Ali Musthofa adalah orang pertama yang turun ke jurang saat menyadari Juliana tak lagi berada di belakangnya. Dalam video yang beredar, terlihat ia menuruni tebing Rinjani tanpa perlengkapan standar penyelamatan seperti anchor, harness, karabiner, maupun jumar. > “Saya hanya pergi beberapa menit. Saya minta dia istirahat karena bilang lelah. Lalu saya kembali. Saya tidak meninggalkannya,” ujar Ali dengan suara lirih. Dalam kegelapan malam dan medan terjal, Ali melihat samar cahaya senter di dasar jurang. Ia pun nekat turun hanya berbekal naluri dan rasa tanggung jawab. > “Tali pun tak cukup. Tapi dia tetap turun, meski tak terlihat apa-apa di bawah sana,” tulis salah satu netizen yang ikut menyimak perkembangan kasus ini. Sayangnya, upaya evakuasi mandiri itu gagal. Medan yang terlalu curam dan minimnya alat membuat penyelamatan tak berhasil. Juliana ditemukan tewas beberapa hari kemudian, di kawasan curam Cemara Nunggal, salah satu jalur paling berisiko di Rinjani. Ali kini menghadapi hujatan dari publik, termasuk dugaan blacklist dari dunia guiding yang telah menjadi mata pencahariannya. > “Saya coba turun. Saya gagal. Tapi saya tidak membiarkannya sendiri,” tegasnya. Tragedi ini memicu kemarahan netizen internasional dan juga polemik antara warga Brasil dan Indonesia di media sosial. Ayah Juliana menyebut anaknya “ditelantarkan”, sementara publik Tanah Air terbagi: sebagian menyalahkan Ali, sebagian lainnya justru memujinya karena mencoba bertindak ketika semua masih diam. > “Ali Musthofa bukan pahlawan. Tapi ia juga bukan penjahat. Ia hanya seseorang yang memilih bertindak, saat yang lain masih berpikir,” tulis salah satu komentar di media. Sumber berita: Lombok Post
