Where Wildlife, Humans, & Ecology Meet
Ecology Blueprints explores the interconnected systems that link wildlife, humans, and their habitats—through science, observation, and hands-on learning.
Because no organism exists alone. When you understand food webs, habitat, and pressure, the species make sense. Ecology isn’t about memorizing animals—it’s about understanding relationships and outcomes.
Have you ever wondered why the eyes of a predator and the eyes of their prey look different? .
Not many owls have protections under the Endangered Species Act. But between habitat loss and climate change, several owl species are struggling.
Nests are an important part of a raptor’s life. Different birds of prey will set up their nests in different spots depending on what they need and what habitat they thrive in.
Barn owls are incredible raptors. From their stealthy skills to the benefits they provide to farmers, these unique owls stand out from the crowd.
Andean Condors, or Vultur Gryphus, are some of the biggest birds that have the ability to fly. They weigh up to 33 pounds, stand at four feet tall, and their wingspan, which is longer than other raptors, stretches over ten feet.
