Sgwd yr Eira waterfall, Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, Wales
Sgwd yr Eira waterfall, Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, Wales
Water spills in clean lines at Sgwd yr Eira, one of South Wales" most distinctive waterfalls. Its Welsh name means "Waterfall of Snow," referring to the pale curtain of water sliding over the rock face. What sets this waterfall apart is access. A narrow path leads visitors behind the falling water, immersing them in sound, light and movement at close range. Sgwd yr Eira lies within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, often called "Waterfall Country" for its network of rivers and falls carved into wooded gorges. Well-marked trails connect this waterfall to others along the River Hepste, making it a popular stop on longer hikes. Above the valleys, the landscape opens into rolling moorland and long ridgelines where upland paths are shaped by wind and changing weather. These contrasts define the Bannau Brycheiniog, where open, exposed uplands give way to sheltered water, tying the landscape together.Desktop Version

Common clownfish, Raja Ampat Islands, Indonesia
Sea anemones may look like underwater flowers, but they"re actually animals—close relatives of jellyfish and corals. Anchored to rocks or reefs, they use a sticky base and a crown of waving tentacles armed with tiny stingers to capture passing prey. Those stings can paralyse small fish, yet one famous neighbour is immune.Desktop Version

International Bat Appreciation Day
International Bat Appreciation Day
On 17 April, International Bat Appreciation Day flips its cape to the planet"s night shift: bats. With more than 1,400 species on every continent except Antarctica, these winged mammals keep ecosystems balanced. They"ve been on Earth for over 50 million years, and only three species are true vampires. Found only in the Americas, these bats feed on blood, while the rest survive on insects, fruit, nectar or pollen. In Texas, Bracken Cave can host up to 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats in summer. Many gulp crop pests, cutting pesticide use; others pollinate wild agaves and disperse seeds that help forests rebound.Desktop Version
