How many crocodile teeth? What is special about crocodile teeth? How strong is a crocodile bite?
The teeth of the crocodiles order are remarkable (and they are placed in a reinforced skull with the most powerful biting muscles).
Do crocodiles lose their teeth with age?
Extant crocodiles are polyphiodonts, that is, their teeth are continually replaced during a large part of their life. Firstly, each tooth is renewed in 1-2 years (their teeth are hollow inside, and brand-new and sharp teeth develop in these cavities as they wear out).
Secondly, unlike most reptiles, crocodiles have a peculiar differentiation of teeth in size, shape, and even function.
At the beginning of each jaw, there are four large canine teeth that serve to effectively capture prey. In the middle of the jaw, the teeth are thicker, increase in length more evenly and form a kind of scissor bite that allows you to cut the fillets of the deceased corpse of the captured victim.
At the base of the jaw, the teeth expa

Snowy mountain goats are fearless rock conquerors.
Snow mountain goats (Latin Oreamnos americanus) belong to the heavy type, the largest individuals reach 95-105 cm at the withers, and weigh more than 120 kg. But the horns of these goats are small – only 21-30 cm.
The snowy mountain goat was found in western North America. The main range in the USA is the mountain ranges of the states of Idaho, Montana and southeastern Alaska, in Canada — the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and the southern Yukon territory. The species has also been settled on the Olympic Peninsula, as far as the center of Alaska, as well as in Nevada, Colorado and Wyoming.
The snowy mountain goat is a mountain animal that lives in hard—to-reach places, above the forest border, and is often found in summer at altitudes even above 3,000 meters above sea level. It feeds on grasses and lichens, and tolerates frosts up to -40 ° C. It keeps small herds.
Although mountain goats were never domesticated or used for
Review of the Heym SR21 in 8X68S
As an avid hunter and firearms enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to test the Heym SR21 chambered in 8X68S, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts on this exceptional piece of engineering. The Heym SR21 has garnered a reputation as a high-quality rifle, and after using it in the field, I can affirm that it lives up to the expectations.
First Impressions: Design and Build Quality
Upon receiving the Heym SR21, the first thing that struck me was its impressive build quality. The rifle boasts a classic design combined with modern features, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship that Heym is known for. The woodwork is exquisite, with a beautifully finished walnut stock that feels good in hand. The checkering is crisp and provides a solid grip, even in wet conditions. The rifle feels solid and well-balanced, which is crucial for accurate aiming and long days in the field.
The metalwork is equally impressive, with a finely machined action that
Belgian farmers call for weaker protection of wolves, as environmentalists want greater
Their populations in Europe have been on the rise for a number of years.
Wolves are back in Belgium and their growing presence is creating tensions with farmers, who fear for the safety of their livestock.
They want to reopen the debate on wolf hunting in Europe, which forbids it under both the EU's Habitats Directive and the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitat.
Euronews spoke to Ludwig Heinen, a dairy farmer with 320 cows, who said that there are currently three packs of wolves near his farm in the High Fens mountains.
Despite none of his animals so far not being attacked, he is still worried.
"If the animals are torn apart by wolves, that's one thing, but if wolves make the animals - who are free in the field - nervous, you cannot easily calm down those animals again," Heinen said in an interview.

An unusual hunt.
Best regards to all!I don't know if you're interested in it, but it's a true story, happened in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus. Sincerely. "This is a historical novel, based on a true story that happened during the First World War, on the Eastern Front, in the winter of 1916-17 and which was disclosed and followed by newspapers such as the New York Times. A pack of wolves made up of hundreds of specimens, due to the destruction of the conflict, began to attack and devour not only civilians but also Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers isolated or in small groups, penetrating even the trenches at night. The belligerent armies were forced to enter into a local truce and form mixed patrols to track down and exterminate the pack. They succeeded but only after several months. A true but little-known story on which this exceptionally thorough and detailed historical novel, unique internationally, was based". In the photo, German reservist with wolf killed in trench,
Drought impacts mule deer antler growth in Texas
Long-term drought has resulted in massive reverberations across the West. In Texas, it has impacted mule deer, particularly herds in the Panhandle and Trans-Pecos areas. With archery season already underway and general season on-deck in a just a couple of weeks, hunters should be aware that, this year, antler growth is below average even though herd health is still holding steady, according to the Texas Farm Bureau.
“I would say the chances of bagging a mule deer would probably be average, but the antler production is going to be quite a bit below average just because we didn’t have any moisture during the antler development time,” said Shawn Gray, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) mule deer and pronghorn program leader.
Low fawn production is also linked to “timely rains, and its impact on forages.” Currently, the average mule deer fawn crop in the Trans-Pecos and the Panhandle is 30% to 35%, which Gray acknowledges should s

Hunting season in East Belgium
In East Belgium hunting can be carried out in an expansive forested area spanning some 45,000 hectares (111,000 acres). The right to hunt there can be obtained by leasing a hunting ground of at least 50 hectares (123 acres) from the forest owners (the Walloon region, the municipalities or the private owners). This lease runs for 6, 9 or 12 years. It goes without saying that every hunter must hold a hunting licence which is obtained by passing a suitable examination.
In East Belgium, game predominantly consists of stags, deer and wild boars, the hunting of which is strictly organised by legislation and the large gamekeeping communities. Contrary to popular belief, hunting is not only organised for the pleasure of hunters but, above all, for the purpose of regulating the number of animals in the forest so that the economic utilisation of the forest is ensured. If game numbers are too high, this can result in substantial damage being caused to the rejuvenat
Top 5 Hunting Towns in America
Have You Ever Hunted in These Towns?
Man, you hate to rank stuff sometimes. Case in point, college football. What makes one team better than another, anyway — TV time, a difficult schedule, wins and losses? Rankings and choices concerning numero uno lend themselves to loopholes, weak arguments and plenty of opinions.
So what exactly qualifies a town as one of the BEST hunting towns in America? To find out, I polled hunters who find themselves in the woods for work and play … biologists, editors and industry folks, and here’s what they said:
Every great hunting town needs a variety of game.
It has to have cafés, hole-in-the wall restaurants, inexpensive hotels, meat processors, and a game and fish office nearby doesn’t hurt, either.
Tons of public hunting land within an hour’s drive.
Interesting stuff to see if you tag out early or just get tired of hunting.

Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago
Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre
A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals.
Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked.
S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle.
Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph Moys
How to Call in a Bull Elk Like a Calling Champion
Do You Use These Techniques?
You might expect a top elk caller to focus his hunting advice on proper call selection, volume, tone, timing or teamwork. But one Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation World Elk Calling Championship winner says perhaps the most critical step to calling in elk is how you set up to intercept an approaching bull.
Corey Jacobsen of Boise, Idaho, is one of the most decorated world champion elk callers in the country, as well as a consistently successful bowhunter.
Jacobsen offers the following key advice on calling elk into bow range:
“The setup might be the most critical step," Jacobsen said. "It always plays a major role in determining the outcome of a hunt. I can’t count how many hunts have been blown by a bad setup — too much brush to shoot through, not enough cover to hide in, no shooting lanes, inconsistent wind currents, caught in the open, the list goes on and on.
“I always repeat one word to myself when I’m s

Fishing in Latvia
Fishing for food has been a topical activity since the beginning of humankind. However, even today it has not lost its influence and significance. It is a great way to be alone with nature or to spend time with family or like-minded people. The diversity of nature offers the opportunity for a chilled family holiday by the sea, river or lake, and allows a passionate fisherman's dream of a big catch to be fulfilled.
There are many different fish species in Latvian waters, and none of them are poisonous or dangerous to health. The most popular of these are pike, pike-perch, trout, carp, tench, perch, vimba, roach, bream, flounder and smelt, but the biggest pride of a fisherman is catching salmon or sea trout. Several fish species spend most of their lives at sea, only arriving in rivers during spawning, but some of these fish live and spawn in Latvia's rivers and lakes.

Hunting in the Middle Ages
In the modern US, hunting is not considered an elite activity. One tends to think of country folk and good old boys going hunting, often because they could use the food. The last time hunting was considered something for the wealthy and powerful was back when it was considered appropriate to go to Africa or Alaska to shoot elephants or lions or polar bears in Africa or Alaska.
In the Middle Ages, in contrast, hunting was very much an activity for elites. Nobles loved to hunt, to the the point that giving up hunting was a sign of serious penance. Several saints started life as rich lords but were converted to the religious life when, on a hunting trip, they saw an animal carrying a cross.
Fantastic stories often involved hunting, such as capturing a white (albino) hart or trapping a unicorn, as seen in this late medieval tapestry.
Probably the main source of meat on a noble table was from hunting, rather then livestock raising. Nobles hunted various k
Hunting in Belarus is very popular among locals and foreigners.
Almost virgin forests and mild European climate create all conditions for a variety of wildlife and birds.
In Belarus, hunting for roe deer, deer, wild boar, hare, elk, wolf, partridge, geese, ducks, grouse and other animals is permitted. And, even for the handsome symbol of Belarus – European bison – the largest animal of the continent!
However, this is not a cheap entertainment, and you should get permission in specialized hunting farms. Find out everything you need to know about this popular activity in our article!
The country is also interesting and attractive for fans of hunting due to the fact that the total area of hunting grounds is about 17 million hectares. True lovers of this activity have enough space for their favorite hobby in Belarus. Fans of hunting tourism are encouraged by the fact that almost all the year round it is allowed to hunt for more than 50 species of animals in the country. Thanks to the
The Barn Owl is a nocturnal raptor measuring nearly 40 cm, with a wingspan of nearly a metre. It has a characteristic face, heart-shaped, white plumage on its breast and mottled yellow-brown on its back and wings.
Its legs are feathered right down to its claws. The wing-feathers have a flexible edge and sound-absorbent down, in such a way that it flies noiseless and thus surprises its prey, essentially small rodents.
Highly useful in countrysides, this bird however has had a bad reputation in the past; its disturbing appearance, its hoots and its nocturnal activity in attics and bell-towers frightened the credulous and the Barn Owl was thought to be a harbinger of misfortune: in order to dispel that bad augur, they used to be killed and nailed to barn doors – not so long ago by the way…
Sedentary, the Barn Own spends the winter without migrating. It nests on the ground or in niches of towers and barns, laying from 4 to 13 eggs which hatch after approximately two weeks; the older chi
ELK RETURN TO NORTH CAROLINA
It took about 20 years, but elk have returned to the Cataloochee Valley in North Carolina. Once native to the Tar Heel State, eastern elk vanished in the 1800s due to human encroachment on key habitat. However, now, while exact numbers are still to be determined, elk are back in the Great Smoky Mountains in Southern Appalachian, the Citizen Times reports.
Wildlife biologist Joseph Yarkovich has been involved with the project since its beginnings and hopes to one day “have one large, contiguous population throughout the East Coast again,” but adds, “that’s still way, way down the road.”
For now, those involved with the elk recovery project are hoping to obtain an accurate population count.
“What we’ve been doing up until now is conducting a minimum count,” said Yarkovich. “The park in collaboration with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the North Carolina Wildlife Commission will coordinate for three days in a row to count as many elk as we can s
Hunting Seasons in NORTHWEST TERRITORIES (Canada): Key Dates, Vital Regulations & Licenses
The Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada offer vast wilderness, rich wildlife populations, and some of the most remote hunting opportunities in North America. However, hunters must follow strict regulations regarding seasons, licenses, and permitted game to ensure sustainable hunting practices. This guide covers hunting seasons, rules, licenses, and the best times to hunt in the NWT.
Regulatory Framework and Seasonal Structure in Northwest Territories
Hunting seasons in the NWT vary by species and region, but most big game hunting occurs between August and November, while migratory bird seasons typically run from September to December. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) sets these dates based on wildlife population health, migration patterns, and breeding cycles. Climate and landscape play a major role—harsh winters and vast tundra regions mean shorter seasons compared
Hunting Seasons in BRITISH COLUMBIA (Canada): Mandatory Licenses, Core Regulations & Key Season Rules
British Columbia (BC) is a premier destination for hunters, offering diverse game species and vast wilderness. However, hunting here is strictly regulated to ensure sustainability. This guide covers hunting seasons, regulations, licenses, and optimal hunting periods in BC.
Understanding Hunting Seasons in British Columbia
Hunting seasons in British Columbia vary by species, region, and hunting method such as rifle or bow. The province is divided into Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), each with specific opening and closing dates tailored to local conditions. These seasons are regulated under the BC Wildlife Act and detailed in the Hunting & Trapping Regulations Synopsis. Biological factors such as animal breeding cycles, migration patterns, and population health influence the timing of hunts. Regional adjustments also apply — northern areas often have earlier or extended seasons due
