Nature Is Metal

Tale of the Tape 📽 by @asianhuntress Here we have a black bear who is in the throes of passing several lengthy tapeworms. Bears that depend on the yearly salmon run often become hosts for these alien looking organisms that lodge themselves into the bruin’s intestinal tract. The life cycle of the broad fish tapeworm is a flat circle: eggs are released into the wild via the droppings of a host bear, they wash into the rivers and streams where crustaceans gobble them up. Next, salmon chow down on these compromised mud bugs and finally (you guessed it) the bears - who are able to crush 20+ salmon per day at the run’s peak - do just that. The tapeworm larva then latches on to the interior wall of the bear’s stomach and this parasitic life cycle begins anew. The adult tapeworm keeps itself alive by deriving nutrients through its skin from what the bear eats, and as you can see from the above clip, one bear can host multiple parasites at one time. Humans can get these as well by consuming uncooked salmon, which is really awesome if, like me, you also love to go out and eat sushi from time to time. This last part definitely wasn’t written by MY tapeworm, who is an accomplished slam poet and dabbles in antiquing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

I wonder if bears have significant others who like to pull their tapeworms out like ours who like to pop our pimples 😂

New York Times Travel

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
