This phenomenon is the result of a natural event known as “ballooning” or mass spider migration, which frequently occurs in southeastern Australia, particularly in Victoria and New South Wales, after heavy rains and floods.

During this time, thousands or even millions of ground-dwelling spiders release silk threads to catch the wind and escape rising floodwaters.

These threads can coat entire landscapes — fields, fences, trees, and even power lines — creating what looks like a vast white sheet.

This isn't an everyday sight, but it has been documented multiple times, notably in 2012, 2015, and most recently in June 2021 in Gippsland, Victoria, following significant flooding.

The spiders involved are typically harmless sheet-web weavers or money spiders, which do this ballooning behavior to disperse and survive environmental changes.

Although it may look alarming, experts confirm it's a temporary and harmless natural event, and not an “infestation” in the dangerous sense.

Australia’s unique ecosystem and extreme weather patterns make such biological spectacles more common there than in most parts of the world.

Octopuses, particularly species like the Octopus vulgaris, exhibit an extraordinary nervous system.

They have one central brain located between their eyes and eight mini-brains, each within the base of their arms.

These "arm brains" are clusters of nerve cells (ganglia) that independently process sensory input and control movement without direct input from the central brain.

Roughly two-thirds of an octopus's neurons are found in its arms, enabling them to explore, taste, and respond to their environment autonomously.

For example, if an octopus is engaged in eating or hiding, its other arms can simultaneously search for food or interact with surroundings.

This decentralized intelligence allows for remarkable multitasking and fine motor control.

However, the central brain still plays a major role in decision-making, coordination, and learning, especially for complex tasks or problem-solving.

This structure is so unusual that some scientists argue it's almost like having a "distributed" or "non-centralized" brain system—an arrangement nearly alien compared to vertebrates.

This contributes to the octopus's reputation as one of the most intelligent invertebrates.

With more than 1,800 animals currently in our care — and even more expected to arrive as we head into our busiest season — we’re asking our community for help by spaying and neutering their pets.

This simple procedure not only helps prevent certain cancers and life-threatening infections, but it can also reduce hormone-driven behaviors like marking, roaming and irritability. But the impact goes far beyond your own home — spaying and neutering helps address overpopulation at its source, reducing the number of animals who enter shelters.

This year alone, we’ll care for more than 40,000 animals. But we can’t do it alone. It takes all of us — pet families, neighbors and compassionate individuals — to create lasting change for animals in need. Consult with your veterinarian to learn more about spaying and neutering. If you need help accessing affordable services, visit sdhumane.org/spay to explore low-cost options throughout San Diego County.

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true: Charles Darwin and Steve Irwin both cared for the same tortoise.

Her name was Harriet, a Galápagos tortoise Darwin brought back in the 1830s. She later lived at the Australia Zoo, where she became part of Steve Irwin’s wildlife family—before passing away in 2006, at an estimated age of 176 years.

She witnessed the rise of electricity, airplanes, and the internet—a living bridge between two of the greatest naturalists in history.

Harriet didn’t just carry a shell—she carried time itself.

I make no apologies for repeating this message 🐝
If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying other than on a flowering plant, it is STARVING! You can help.
We are currently well into the 'June Gap' - the time between when the Spring flowering plants stop and the Autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar.
You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly ladies) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You'll see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take about 10 minutes for her to convert the syrup to energy, but she will fly away if you've helped her in time. The feeling you get on seeing her recovery and flight is well worth your time.
PLEASE NOTE - This is a temporary measure and 'First Aid' only. The Bees need diversity in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I'm not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a regular thing.
NO HONEY PLEASE - Disease can be spread easily from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more damage than good. White sugar and water only please x
They can't thank you, so I will on their behalf.
Thanks a million xx 🐝🐝🐝🐝 Words are like bees!!!some create honey and others leave a sting

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MEET ME THIS WAY.

If I see this in a parking lot, you and I are about to meet.

If you leave your dog in your car, without the AC on, I'm going to wait there by your car and begin recording a time stamp for a court case.

Then...
One of two things will happen:

1) you will come out quickly and we will meet. We will talk. You will not like me. I don't care.

Or

2) You will NOT come out quickly and when you do return, your window will be knocked out, police will be there to arrest you on a felony animal cruelty citation, and your dog will be at the vet.

75-degree weather can climb to 158 degrees in the time it would take you to run into a convenience store to get a cold drink and a snack.

In 75 degree weather, even WITH THE WINDOWS CRACKED, your dog could die from heatstroke in 15 minutes . .

RUN THE AC
or
leave your dog at home.
