Climate experts say the lack of rain is likely due in part to a strong El Niño — a natural temporary warming of ocean waters that shifts weather patterns across the globe — combined with warmer temperatures driven partly by human-caused climate change

I was flipping rocks today and came across more of the bright red springtails. I think they were under 90% of my landscape rocks today. I took these at higher magnification, and to my surprise, I seemed to get great depth of field. These guys are so tiny, but I took these at over 5x. There were a couple of the even tinier translucent white entomobryiods but I didn't really capture them. They actually spring!

Yala National Park saw 380,000 visitors in just six months, but animals are paying the price. Speeding safari jeeps and overcrowding in Block I have become a crisis for acclimatized leopards.
New measures aim to redirect traffic and reduce pressure on this fragile ecosystem.

Sicilianews24.it: Sotto osservazione le acque dello Sri Lanka dopo il naufragio della nave da guerra iraniana.
Il Affondamento della Nave IRIS Dena
Il 4 marzo, la fregata da guerra iraniana IRIS Dena è affondata a circa 40-50 miglia nautiche dalla costa sud di Galle, un importante punto di passaggio marittimo in Sri Lanka. Sulle navi inizialmente si trovavano almeno 180 persone, tutte in ritorno dall’International Fleet Review 2026, un’esercitazione navale svoltasi a Visakhapatnam, India, quando hanno lanciato un segnale di soccorso. Secondo quanto comunicato dalla Marina di Sri Lanka, almeno 90 corpi sono stati recuperati dai detriti dell’imbarcazione.
Il Segretario alla Difesa degli Stati Uniti, Pete Hegseth, ha confermato che una sottomarino americano ha affondato la nave iraniana in acque internazionali, definendo questo evento come il primo affondamento di un nemico ad opera di un sottomarino statunitense dalla Seconda guerra mondiale. Questo incidente solleva non solo questioni politiche, ma anche gravi preoccupazioni per l’ambiente marino della regione.

The Sinking of the IRIS Dena Warship
On March 4th, the Iranian warship IRIS Dena sank approximately 40-50 nautical miles off the south coast of Galle, a major maritime transit point in Sri Lanka. Initially aboard the ship were at least 180 people, all returning from the 2026 International Fleet Review, a naval exercise held in Visakhapatnam, India, when they launched a distress signal. According to the Sri Lanka Navy, at least 90 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage of the vessel.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed that an American submarine sank the Iranian ship in international waters, calling this event the first enemy ship sunk by a U.S. submarine since World War II. This incident raises not only political questions but also serious concerns about the marine environment of the region.
