❰ 𝗙𝗢𝗫 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗧 ❱ Did you know The Red Fox’s hearing is so good that they can hear a ticking watch from more than 40 yards away! #wearewildest “This Red Fox kit was full of energy, running and bouncing on top of the ice plants. If you look closely you can see a bee buzzing around the kit. I’m not sure if the bee set off the kit getting the zoomies, or if it was the excitement of dad coming home from hunting (which happened just before this). Either way, this kit seemed completely happy after I filmed this video and continued playing with its siblings on the ice plants.” ➽ Despite their wide distribution, seeing a red fox in the wild is a special treat. To increase your chances, head out during dusk or dawn when they’re most active. Look for them in woodland or grassland areas. - 📍#wildestusa - TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 @tammy_ascher #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations Red Fox | Culture | Adventure Travel | Things to do in California | USA | Travel Photography | Wildlife Photography | Nature | Cute Animals | Foxes | Wildlife in California | Travel

❰ JAGUAR ❱ As the largest cat in the Americas and the third-largest worldwide, jaguars aren’t just beautiful. They’re also MASSIVE. #wearewildest They’re solitary animals, masters of stealth. When it comes to hunting, they’re incredibly versatile, preying on over 85 species. Unlike other big cats, jaguars prefer to attack directly on the skull, using their extraordinary bite force. From the vantage of trees, they look for opportunities to dive into the water and grab caiman! ➽ Various safari companies offer the opportunity to explore the Pantanal in search of these majestic cats. The best time to spot them is during the dry season, from July to October, when they roam near water bodies. - 📍#wildestbrazil - TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 @henriqueolsen #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations Brazil | Culture | Adventure Travel | Things to do in Brazil | South America | Travel Photography | Wildlife Photography | Visit Brazil | Pantanal | Travel | Safari in the Amazon | Big Cats | Nature

❰ 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗜 ❱ The Holi festival marks the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. This ancient tradition, rooted in Hindu mythology, is a time when social norms are relaxed, and the air is filled with laughter, music, and the scents of spring #wearewildest Every March, the festival begins with the lighting of the Holika bonfire, symbolizing the burning away of evil spirits. The following day, during Rangwali Holi, is when the iconic color play takes place. All across India, the air is painted with iconic coloured powders known as gulal. “There’s a phrase they say here in India during Holi - the Festival of Colours. It’s “Bura na mano, Holi hai” which translates to “don’t be offended, It’s Holi!” It’s a call to have fun, interact with strangers, be present, and not be afraid to get in the thick of it, throwing colours, having water fights and fully immersing yourself because once you’re in, there’s hardly any way out.” ➽ Holi is more than just colors; it’s a time for forgiveness, for mending broken relationships, and for indulging in sweets like gujiya and thandai. 📍#wildestindia TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 alivelikethewind #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations India | Asia | Culture | Adventure Travel | Things to do in India | Holi Festival | Travel Photography | Culture Photography | Colour Festival | Culture Trip | Solo Travel Destinations | Indian Culture

❰ 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗕𝗢𝗪 𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡 ❱ This natural marvel, known locally as Vinicunca, offers a palette of colors so vivid it seems surreal #wearewildest Nestled in the heart of the Peruvian Andes, about 100 km southeast of Cusco, Rainbow Mountain is a testament to the breathtaking beauty of our planet. Its unique coloring is due to the weathering of minerals over time. The reds, yellows, purples, and greens are layers of sedimentary mineral deposits laid down over millions of years, now exposed to the awe of every traveler. ❰ 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗕𝗢𝗪 ❱ Visiting this magnificent site requires a bit of preparation. The journey to Rainbow Mountain entails a trek at high altitude - over 5,000 meters above sea level.

❰ 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦 ❱ Encountering one of the most feared creatures in the ocean #wearewildest “It’s a sunny afternoon in South Australia. We are anchored next to some remote islands, isolated from everything except the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and the seagulls flying around… We get ready and slowly start descending. As we get deeper and deeper, we start entering another world. The deeper we go, the darker it gets and the colder it feels… At about 25m deep, we reach the ocean floor, covered with tall green sea grass and dark rocks. We wait and look around until we see this massive shape coming towards us. From far, it is hard to distinguish a lot of details but the size and presence of this animal is something indescribable. It is almost as if time stops and our entire mind gets swallowed by his presence. As he gets closer and out of the darkness, we start seeing these amazing details: more than 400 million years of evolution to create THE ultimate predator, his majesty The Great White Shark. I knew these sharks would be bigger than other species I’ve had the chance to interact with like Tigers or Great Hammerheads but I didn’t expect them to be that huge ! Not only their length but the volume of their strength and body is truly humbling… An animal that has been suffering our misunderstanding for so long and that should be praised and respected instead of being feared and hated… As he passed by, we stared at each other in the eyes (which are actually blue and not black as you can see in the 5th photo) and I didn’t see a monster… I saw that behind this intimidating appearance, there is a lot of intelligence, a being that, just like us, is able to think and that, at this precise moment, was wondering what I was… These sharks are apex predators, they evolved for millions of years to be exactly that but they are not monsters. In the end, they are, just like all of us, trying to survive in this world and trying to make their species thrive for as long as possible…” 📍#wildestaustralia TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 @zimydakid #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations

❰ 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 ❱ As humans, we don’t always realise our privelage of being able to share our world with so many incredible wild animal species #wearewildest “I would give anything to know what’s going through the mind of a whale that decides to go out of its way to give humans on a boat this type of attention. Experienced whale watchers will likely know that this behavior is commonly referred to as a “mugging”, and everyone wants to get mugged by a whale! Keep in mind, the ONLY way anyone should ever be this close to a whale is if the whale decided to approach the boat, not the other way around. As you can see in the video our boat is completely stationary, and this whale(along with its friend) spent almost an hour interacting with @erica.sackrison and I while our engines were off! You should never try and approach a whale this closely in hopes of experiencing something like this. Not only will it likely disturb the whale, it could be dangerous for both human and whale alike for an inexperienced operator to try and get too close to a whale.“ 📍#wildestusa TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 @dolphindronedom #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations USA | North America | Culture | Adventure Travel | Things to do in San Diego | California | Travel Photography | Humpback Whales | Nature Photography | Wildlife | Whale Encounters | Visit San Diego | Culture Trip | Solo Travel Destinations

❰ 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 ❱ Nestled atop a hill in the heart of Kathmandu, Swayambhunath Temple, is a marvel of religious significance and architectural beauty #wearewildest “The story goes that the monkeys came into being when the Buddhist deity Manjushri spent time on this hill that the temples are on. He was meant to cut his hair but instead he let it grow long and ended up with head lice. These lice then turned into the monkeys that are at the temple still to this day.” ➽ The climb up the 365 steps to reach the stupa is a spiritual journey in itself, offering panoramic views of Kathmandu below. The temple is accessible throughout the year, but visiting during Losar (Tibetan New Year) in February or March can provide a unique glimpse into the vibrant local celebrations. 📍#wildestnepal TRAVEL• ADVENTURE • WILDLIFE • CULTURE 📸 @jj.trailwalker #travel #adventure #beautifuldestinations Nepal | Asia | Culture | Adventure Travel | Things to do in Nepal | Swayambhunath temple | Travel Photography | Monkeys | Nature Photography | Temples | Drone Footage | Visit Nepal | Religion | Culture Trip | Solo Travel Destinations
