While we often see mushrooms popping up in our gar While we often see mushrooms popping up in our gardens or forests, they are only a small part of a much larger and more complex organism. Think of the fungus as an apple tree and the mushroom as the apple; the mushroom grows specifically to spread its "seeds," known as spores, while the vast network of the fungus remains hidden. This cycle begins when spores drop and grow into thread-like hyphae, which eventually meet and combine to form a dense underground web called mycelium. From this mycelium, a hyphal knot forms a "baby mushroom" that eventually matures into the umbrella-like structure we recognize. It is an incredible process that keeps our soils healthy and ecosystems thriving. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment your favorite type of mushroom Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #zerony #zeronyin #MushroomLifeCycle
Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), a st Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), a striking medium-sized bird known for its bold black-and-white plumage and vivid red markings. While it’s a familiar sight in other parts of the world, in India, it is considered one of the rarer species. Its presence is limited to a small area in the eastern part of the country, specifically in the high-altitude regions of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. These birds are famous for their energetic "drumming" on mature trees, a behavior they use to find food and establish their territory. From their unique bouncing flight to their loud, distinctive calls, they are a true marvel of our eastern forests. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment if you have ever seen a woodpecker in the wild Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #GreatSpottedWoodpecker #zerony #zeronyin
The Crowned Acrobat of India ​Commonly known in In The Crowned Acrobat of India ​Commonly known in India as the Hudhud, the Eurasian Hoopoe is easily recognized by its spectacular crest of about 28 feathers that fans out dramatically when the bird is alert. Found all over the country, these birds are expert foragers that use their long, curved bills to dig into soil and leaf piles for prey like beetle larvae, crickets, and locusts. While they are mostly solitary hunters, during the winter months you might spot them in small, friendly groups of six or seven birds. Their diet is diverse, ranging from various insects and small reptiles to seasonal seeds and berries, making them a fascinating and vital part of our natural world. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment if you’ve ever seen a Hoopoe's crown fan out Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #EurasianHoopoe #zerony #zeronyin
Who Set the Forest on Fire? ​This powerful video s Who Set the Forest on Fire? ​This powerful video serves as an urgent wake-up call regarding the devastating impact of forest fires. It questions the silence and greed that often lead to these catastrophes, while highlighting the tragic toll on the wildlife and communities that depend on these ecosystems. From the loss of rain and fertile soil to the disappearance of birdsong and clean air, the consequences of burning our forests are far-reaching and life-altering. Protecting these vital habitats is a collective responsibility, and it is time we move beyond just observing the flames to actively finding ways to extinguish them and prevent future loss.

Frogs are incredible amphibians that lead a true " Frogs are incredible amphibians that lead a true "double life," beginning their journey in the water before eventually moving onto land. Their life cycle is one of nature’s most fascinating transformations, starting from tiny eggs that develop into embryos and then into swimming tadpoles. As they grow, tadpoles develop legs, becoming "froglets" as they prepare to breathe air and transition to a life on land as adult frogs. Frogs belong to one of the three main types of amphibians, alongside salamanders and the mysterious, limbless caecilians. Understanding these stages helps us appreciate the delicate balance these creatures maintain between our aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment which stage of the frog's life cycle you find most interesting Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #FrogLifeCycle #zerony #zeronyin
Bee-eaters are truly remarkable birds, known for t Bee-eaters are truly remarkable birds, known for their incredible aerial agility and striking colors. Out of the 22 species found worldwide, India is home to six of these expert hunters that use their strong beaks to catch insects like bees mid-air. They are famous for their unique "beating" technique, where they strike and rub their prey against branches to remove dangerous stings and toxins before eating. Beyond their hunting skills, they have a complex social life, often living in colonies of over 100 birds and even using voice recognition to identify family members. These brightly-colored birds can consume as many as 225 insects in a single day, making them a vital part of our ecosystem. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment if you can name this specific bee-eater Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #BeeEater #zerony #zeronyin
Did you know that bananas originated in India over Did you know that bananas originated in India over 5,000 years ago? Known in Sanskrit as Kadali Phalam, this fruit began thriving in the Western Ghats before traveling across the world. Alexander the Great was actually one of the first to notice them and take them to the Middle East, where Arabs gave them the name "Banan," eventually evolving into the word we use today. While ancient wild bananas like Musa balbisiana were small and seedy, humans eventually bred them into the sweet, seedless Cavendish variety we love. Today, India grows over 50 different varieties, with Robusta and Dwarf Cavendish being the most common stars of our markets. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment how many types of bananas you have tried Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #BananaHistory #zerony #zeronyin #Banana
If you’ve ever seen a group of butterflies gatheri If you’ve ever seen a group of butterflies gathering around damp soil or muddy puddles, you’re witnessing a fascinating behavior called "mud-puddling". Primarily observed in male butterflies, this practice is essential for their health. Using their long, straw-like proboscis, they sip mineral-rich water to absorb vital nutrients like salts, amino acids, and minerals such as sodium. These elements are crucial for their overall survival and successful reproduction. Whether on a riverbank or a shallow rain puddle, these "butterfly spots" become busy hubs of activity for various species. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment your favorite butterfly color Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #ButterflyPuddling #zerony #zeronyin

While they share a love for a diet of ants and termites, they are quite different from the "True Anteaters" like the Giant Anteater, which are actually only found in Central and South America. Both of these fascinating creatures use their long, sticky tongues to hunt, but the Pangolin is famous for its unique armor of scales.

​Most of us are familiar with the common black ant ​Most of us are familiar with the common black ants that don’t bite and the fiery red ants that do, but did you know India is home to more than 800 different species of ants? Their world is incredibly organized, starting from a tiny egg laid only by the Queen. As they grow through the larva and pupa stages, their future role in the colony is actually determined by how much they eat! Those who eat more become Queens or Male Drones, while those who eat less become the hardworking Worker Females that keep the colony running. It is a fascinating example of how nature manages its own complex societies right under our feet. ​——————————————— ​Like this reel if you learned something new Comment which ant fact surprised you most Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #instagood #birdwatching #zerony #zeronyin #AntLifeCycle

The Indian peacock was declared the national bird The Indian peacock was declared the national bird of India in 1963 due to its rich cultural significance and widespread presence across the country. The decision to designate the peacock as the national bird was made because it is easily recognizable and has been associated with Indian traditions for centuries. The average lifespan of an Indian peacock in the wild ranges from 10 to 25 years, depending on environmental conditions and predation risks. During mating season, female peafowls typically lay between 4 to 8 eggs, which are incubated for about 28 days before hatching. The young chicks are precocial; they can walk shortly #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #birding #instagood birdwatching #zerony #zeronyin #zerony

Did you know that Sitaphal (also known as Sharifa) Did you know that Sitaphal (also known as Sharifa) has been a part of India for over 3,500 years? Growing this delicious fruit is actually a bit of a balancing act because of its unique biology. The female part of the flower opens in the evening, while the male part releases pollen in the morning, making natural pollination very tricky. To ensure a high yield of up to 100 fruits per tree, many gardeners rely on honeybees or even hand pollination. It takes about 3 to 4 years for a tree planted from seed to start bearing fruit, but the wait is definitely worth the reward! ​——————————————— ​Like this, if you learned something new Comment your favorite way to eat Sitaphal Follow the page for more nature insights Explore more at www.zerony.in ​——————————————— ​#Sitaphal #CustardApple #Sharifa #HomeGardeningIndia #OrganicFarming #NatureFacts #PlantPollination #SustainableLiving #IndianFruit #KitchenGarden #Zerony #ZeronyIn #India

wildflowers are our native flowers, that are unalt wildflowers are our native flowers, that are unaltered by people. All of the flowers found in your garden have been bred specifically for certain features, but they all actually originated from wildflowers. Wildflowers provide bees, butterflies and other pollinators with food throughout the year. Established wildflower meadows have complex root systems, which makes the soil very stable. This helps to mitigate flooding by holding on to rain water, and stops nutrients from washing away. #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #birds #animals #naturelovers #bird #animal #wild #birdphotography #photooftheday #travel #birdsofinstagram #love #canon #birding #conservation #art #animalphotography #outdoors #adventure #safari #natgeo #birding #instagood birdwatching #zerony #zeronyin
