Family First - A Grebe's Aquatic Adventure!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness an extraordinary display of parental love and teamwork in the avian world. Meet CAN-3171, a magnificent Great Crested Grebe from the United Kingdom, proudly carrying her adorable young chick on her back as they glide through the crystal-clear waters. These elegant birds are true water enthusiasts, strictly aquatic and favoring serene bodies of still fresh water during their breeding season. With a diverse diet ranging from sizeable fish to insects and amphibians, these skilled hunters ensure their little ones grow up strong and healthy. Migratory and dispersive by nature, Great Crested Grebes can be found not only in Europe but also in South Africa and Australia. Although they faced a widespread decline during the 19th century due to hunting for plume trade (let's leave that dark chapter behind), their populations have since recovered thanks to conservation efforts. As we marvel at this heartwarming scene of motherly devotion, let us celebrate the resilience of these remarkable creatures. The bond between this adult grebe and her precious offspring reminds us that family always comes first – even in the animal kingdom! So next time you spot a pair of Great Crested Grebes gracefully gliding across tranquil waters, remember their incredible parenting skills – because sometimes all you need is a piggyback ride!
