You wont believe the Secret ways that Wildlife Communicates! A Shot Of Wildlife 2025-10-16 | Animals are communicating all around us — in ways that we can’t see, hear, or even imagine. From bats whispering in ultrasound to moths sending messages through the air, nature has developed some truly incredible ways to share information.In this video, I’ll explore some of the most fascinating and invisible forms of animal communication — from the ultraviolet colours that help birds choose their mates, to the scent marks otters leave behind, and even the alarm pheromones that fish release when they’re injured. We’ll also look at the secretive side of frogs, ants, and muntjac deer, and the surprising signals they use to survive and find each other.If you would like to support the educational videos on this channel, please consider joining my patreon at www.patreon.com/ashotofwildlife#wildlife #nature #animals

7 Collared Dove Facts that most people dont know! A Shot Of Wildlife 2025-09-18 | Collared doves might seem like an ordinary bird you spot in your garden or local park, but their history and behaviour are far more fascinating than most people realise. Originally from Asia and the Middle East, they spread across Europe at an astonishing rate in the 20th century, eventually reaching the UK in the 1950s. Since then, they’ve become one of our most familiar garden birds.In this video, discover how collared doves feed their chicks with a special substance known as crop milk, why they’re able to raise multiple broods of young each year, and how they’ve adapted to survive in busy towns and cities. You’ll also learn about their average lifespan compared to some record-breaking individuals, the reason their soft three-note cooing sounds the same across their entire range, and the remarkable lifelong bonds they form with their partners.From their rapid colonisation of Europe to their unique family life, the story of the collared dove reveals just how extraordinary this common garden bird really is.🔔 If you love learning about birds and wildlife, help me to create even more (and better) videos by becoming a channel patreon at www.patreon.com/ashotofwildlife#CollaredDove #BirdFacts #GardenBirds #Wildlife #Nature
