Whois & Analysis for discoverwildlife.com

Wildlife photography is a genre of photography concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat.

It is one of the more challenging forms of photography.

As well as requiring sound technical skills, such as being able to expose correctly, wildlife photographers generally need good field craft skills.

For example, some animals are difficult to approach and thus a knowledge of the animal's behavior is needed in order to be able to predict its actions.

Photographing some species may require stalking skills or the use of a hide/blind for concealment.

Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, usually with a focus on behaviour under natural conditions, and viewing behaviour as an evolutionarily adaptive trait.

Behaviourism is a term that also describes the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, usually referring to measured responses to stimuli or trained behavioural responses in a laboratory context, without a particular emphasis on evolutionary adaptivity.

Many naturalists have studied aspects of animal behaviour throughout history.

Ethology has its scientific roots in the work of Charles Darwin and of American and German ornithologists of the late 19th and early 20th century, including Charles O.

Whitman, Oskar Heinroth, and Wallace Craig.

The modern discipline of ethology is generally considered to have begun during the 1930s with the work of Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen and by Austrian biologists Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch, joint awardees of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Ethology is a combination of laboratory and field science, with a strong relation to some other disciplines such as neuroanatomy, ecology, and evolutionary biology.

Ethologists are typically interested in a behavioural process rather than in a particular animal group, and often study one type of behaviour, such as aggression, in a number of unrelated animals.

BBC Wildlife is a British glossy, all-colour, monthly magazine about wildlife, operated by BBC Magazines and published by Immediate Media Company.

Birdwatching, or birding, is a form of wildlife observation in which the observation of birds is a recreational activity.

It can be done with the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes, by listening for bird sounds, or by watching public webcams.

The conservation movement, also known as nature conservation, is a political, environmental and a social movement that seeks to protect natural resources including animal and plant species as well as their habitat for the future.
