Nature Is Metal

bobcat is op please nerf 📽 by @trailcampro This young turkey hen just learned a hard lesson about the jumping ability of bobcats. These agile predators can leap up to 10-12 feet (3-3.7 meters) vertically, powered by strong hind legs and complimented by a lightweight frame of between 20-30 pounds(9-13.6 kilograms). A 2020 Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife source confirms bobcats can clear 6-foot (1.8-meter) fences and jump 12 feet (3.7 meters) straight up in pursuit of prey like birds or rabbits. Their explosive jumps stem from muscular legs built for stalking and pouncing in diverse habitats, from forests to suburbs. Wild turkeys, unlike their flightless domesticated relatives, can fly short bursts at 40-55 mph (64-88 km/h) to escape predators or roost in trees, reaching heights of 30-40 feet (9-12 meters). However, their 4 - 5 foot wingspan and heavy 8-15-pound (3.6-6.8-kilogram) bodies limit the total distance of these flights. I think it's safe to say this turkey is grounded for life. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

I hope you all the feel the peace surrounding this nature. #switzerland🇨🇭 #switzerland #reels #cowbell #riverlife #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #naturephotograpy #appenzell #appenzeller #appenzellerland #appenzeller #greenfields #switzerland_destinations #earth #beautiful #vacations #peace #videography #quite #reflection #offbeatenpath #inlovewithswitzerland #worldfrommyeyes

Captured between the storied walls of Shaaz Jung’s ancestral home and the untamed beauty of the wilderness, this is a tribute to the Italian heritage of @canali’s Spring Summer ’25 collection. A dialogue between craftsmanship and landscape, where natural tones, tactile fabrics and soft constructions reflect a new way of dressing — one rooted in observation, freedom and quiet precision. #Canali1934 #ShaazJung #CanaliSS25 Photography: @meister.photo_

Vatnajökull Field Notes: Day 0 January 18th, I broke my ankle skiing in Japan. It wasn’t really the way I imagined starting the year off but an MRI & CT scan with @doctor.masi confirmed the break. I immediately launched into doing everything I POSSIBLY could to recover before the expedition… all while feeling an immense amount of anxiety about my inability to train and considering the responsibility of being a good partner to the crew joining the crossing. I started looking for exit options along the route knowing full well that the best call might eventually be removing myself from the equation. 21 days before the expedition - I got another scan showing the bone was healing, but still quite broken & not in good condition for a 230 mile ride across snow & crevassed ice. It’s hard to fully express the stress I felt in those 3 weeks leading up.. these trips are more than just fun or personal objectives... They’re an essential part of my livelihood & I pour my heart & soul into preparing for every detail. Even training in weird stretches of sand dunes while on the road to try & emulate glacier travel. I’m so grateful to have made it happen despite the circumstances and to share the crossing with a truly incredible group of riders. I’ll be recounting the trip over the next week here with a special series of posts, stay tuned ! @kurt.refsnider @justin.and.bikes @tyson.flaharty @miron_golfman Special Thanks to: @roka @rapha @ari.bikes @envecomposites @tailfincycling 🎥: @vidirb @joelbarger_

Enjoy this majestic mountain goat as he looks out over his wild domain 😍🐕! Captured high up in the mountains near Valdez Alaska during an outing with my pilot friend @helipilotleigh to a location accessible only by helicopter or extreme bush whacking expedition.
