Giant Pacific octopus with midden
Tracking shot moving over discarded shells and other debris outside the den of a giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini). This is the largest species of octopus, reaching an arm-span of more than four metres. It feeds on crustaceans, bivalve molluscs, fish, squid and other octopuses. It hunts in the open and brings food back to its den to feed, leaving the inedible parts of the prey outside the den, forming large middens. The giant Pacific octopus lives in the cold coastal waters of the northern Pacific, from Korea through the Barents Sea and down to Baja California. Filmed in British Columbia, Canada.
44634 “ TRIP TO ZION NATIONAL PARK, BRYCE AND GRAND CANYON ” 1950’S SILENT HOME MOVIE TRAVELOGUE
Shot by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, this silent home movie takes viewers through Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and to the Grand Canyon. It probably dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s.<p><p>The film begins with a visit to Zion in Utah.The camera captures red canyons and colorful red ridges (:22) within the park. The rock formation known as Angel's Landing (1:26) is captured. This is a 1,488 foot formation with a trail intentionally cut into it in 1926 in order to provide panoramic views of Zion Canyon (1:44). Three cowgirls and a cowboy ready themselves for a scenic ride (2:12). The tour guide, atop a grey horse gallops down “Walter’s Wiggles” (2:44) as a rider would move around barrels at a rodeo. These are famed and very steep switchback trails. The riders are pictured stopped along the trail (2:55). The adventurers cut across a low river (3:17). Red blossoms are pictured on spiny cacti (3:22). The Temple of Sinawava is a sandstone amphitheater carved naturally by the Virgin River (3:53). The Great White Throne is a monolith of white Navajo Sandstone (4:04). A close shot captures its beauty (4:08). Twilight shots follow (4:33) of reds and oranges. Red Canyon; also known as Peek-a-Boo Canyon, is situated near Kanab (4:56). It features a ‘red slot’ and leads to Bryce Canyon (5:17). Students and vacationers arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park (5:25). The camera captures a storm covering to canyon briefly (5:39). White lighting strikes (5:42). An excerpt from a John Greenleaf Whittier poem is displayed (5:52). The red rock formations resemble standing up men (6:28). The filmmakers listen as the tour guide explains erosion (6:40). Three park troopers stand for the camera (7:54). Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is commonly known as the Grand Canyon of Colorado (8:11). The actual Grand Canyon is pictured at (8:35) located in Arizona. The El Tovar Hotel sits directly on the rim of the Grand Canyon (8:48) and has been open since 1905. Native Americans perform the Hopi Dances (9:05) with traditional feathered headdresses and booming drums. Moran Point was named for the prominent landscape artist, Thomas Moran (11:04). Desert View Watchtower is set on the edge of Grand Canyon (11:18) reflecting the architecture of the ancestral Puebloans. The tourists head up the stony steps (11:26) for a view (11:33). The Colorado River cuts through the canyon (11:42). The travelers head off for Phantom Ranch (11:51). This lodge was opened in 1922. It rests at the bottom of the Grand Canyon near Bright Angel trail making it ideal for tourists. They capture a view from Yaki trail (12:04). Wildlife such as deer are captured at Phantom Ranch (12:38). The Black Suspension Bridge spans the Colorado River (12:59). The riders are now on Bright Angel trail (13:12). The sun falls over the south rim (13:54). The Painted Desert follows (14:06). The Little Colorado River appears at (14:12). Kabab National Forest borders the north and south rim of the Grand Canyon (14:39). Deer graze in the foreground (14:47). A mountain lion stalks prey (14:53). Deer interrupt a car passing on the modern highway (15:01). Spotted fawns bump against one another (15:34). The North Rim of the canyon (15:48) precludes the North Lodge (16:17). A plane flies high over the canyon (16:27). The tassel eared Kaibab squirrel resides exclusively in the Kaibab Plateau (16:40). <p><p>Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

FILE: WOLVERINES NOW AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
&lt;p>&lt;b>--TEASE--&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/us/wolverines-protection-threatened-species-climate/index.html&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The North American wolverine has officially been listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act and will receive long-anticipated federal protections, US officials announced Wednesday, as the climate crisis melts away their snowy mountain habitats.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The US Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to list the wolverines as threatened in the contiguous US comes as scientists warn that warming temperatures are rapidly diminishing the mountain snowpack that the species rely on for food, reproduction and ultimate survival.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“Current and increasing impacts of climate change and associated habitat degradation and fragmentation are imperiling the North American wolverine,” Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Regional Director Hugh Morrison said in a statement. “Based on the best available science, this listing determination will help to stem the long-term impact and enhance the viability of wolverines in the contiguous United States.”Adding wolverines to the list triggers legal protections for the threatened species under various environmental laws, preventing the population from further declining. It also encourages better conservation efforts and more scientific research to better understand the vulnerable species.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>An illustration of a sleeping alvarezsaurid dinosaur, Jaculinykus, like modern birds.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Dinosaur from newfound species died in a pose that sheds light on evolution of bird behavior&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The wolverines’ habitat spans vast swaths of North America, from the Northern Rocky Mountains and the North Cascades in the lower 48 states to the boreal forests and tundra regions of Alaska and Canada, where the populations remain relatively healthy.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>But these snow-adapted species have been rather elusive in recent years.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Most recently, a rare trio of wolverines were sighted in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains last summer – one in Yosemite National Park and two in the Inyo National Forest. The last time the species had been sighted in the region was between 2008 and 2018, according to scientists, though they have already been listed as threatened species under California’s Endangered Species Act.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Federal scientists in 2018 projected a massive decline in spring snow due to climate change and found that predicted losses in the wolverine population will be much greater in the coming decades. Another study in 2020 found that higher temperatures could affect their ability to store food resources by decreasing the storage life of the cached food and increasing competition from pilferers that are more adapted to warmer climates.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Conservationists and scientists have been calling for federal protections for years now, with some environmental groups like the Center for Biological Diversity even taking legal action.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Despite the new science and growing calls for federal protections, initial proposals to protect the species were rejected in 2020 under former President Donald Trump. In 2022, a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to reach a final decision on the proposal.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“I’m thrilled that the Fish and Wildlife Service is finally following the science by granting wolverines the federal protections they need to survive and recover,” Andrea Zaccardi, carnivore conservation legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity, told CNN in an email. “Like so many other species, wolverines waited far too long for federal protections, but I’m overjoyed that they’re finally on the path to recovery.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Separately, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking public comments on an interim rule that would make exemptions for cases where humans may accidentally harm the species through lawful trapping, research-related activities or forest management activities to reduce wildfire risk.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SUPERS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>File&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VIDEO SHOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--LEAD IN&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VO SCRIPT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SOT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--TAG&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--KEYWORD TAGS--&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--MUSIC INFO---&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>

Crowding of sockeye salmon during river migration
Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during river migration. Sockeye salmon can arrive in large numbers, causing the pools where they rest between rapids to become crowded. This overcrowding puts them at risk of being pushed out of the water, making them easier prey for bears and eagles. Sockeye salmon are anadromous, which means they hatch in freshwater, spend their adult lives in the ocean, and then return to freshwater to spawn. Filmed in British Columbia, Canada.
