talons.
Conservation efforts are ongoing, including increased funding and habitat protection,
but challenges remain.

velociraptor-like birds and Australia's unique wildlife.

Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Irish poet Oscar Wilde.
He said,
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for.
If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for.
If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
