A SHIMMERING JEWEL IN BETWEEN THE HARSH, AFRICAN-DESERT SANDS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on camels making their way through or resting/wading in the waters at Guelta d'Archéï, "the Eden of the Sahara," north-eastern Chad/Txad, Africa. 📸: Various.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "The Guelta d’Archéï – an oasis in the Sahara desert, is probably the most famous guelta – a lower level of height ground between rocks which holds water – in the Sahara. It is a barren place located in the Ennedi Plateau, in north-eastern Chad. The reservoirs of this wetland is supported by groundwater. The guelta is a watering place for camels. and it is also inhabited by a very small number of the Nile crocodile."

I'm mixed with a lot of things (Northwestern European on both sides, Indigenous American and Sub-Saharan African on father's side, East Asian and Lithuanian Jewish on mother's side) and like...idk I feel like I have no right to call myself anything outside of white because I'm both very pale and considered ethnically ambiguous to most people. Is there any tips on how to reconnect with your heritage in a sensitive way?

hello! first, let me say that culture and heritage has no particular look or skin tone. it is yours because you are born into it, because your family is your family, because you wouldn't exist without it. what you look like effects how people perceive you, but it has next to no impact on your claim to your heritage because that is your birthright, not a deal dependent on random phenotypes. hope it helps you to remember that. also, for tips on reconnecting please check out our reconnecting tag. wishing you the best. x

L'Orchestre National Mauritanien by Ahl Nana

Ahl Nana - L'Orchestre National Mauritanien

Recorded in 1971 then lost for 50 years; now we get to hear the original and first Saharan desert rock band, Ahl Nana. Sublime.

From the liner notes:

Lost recordings that defined the modern sound of the Sahara. This album contains the first recordings of modern music from the Sahara and mark the birth of the genre that is known in the West as ‘Desert Blues’ or ‘Desert Rock’. Ahl Nana changed the folk music of the Sahara to modern, cosmopolitan music by using Western instruments like the electric guitar. They paved the way for artists like Ali Farka Touré, Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar or Bombino. Although the group is still active today, they only recorded 2 LPs and a handful of singles. All these recordings took place in 1971 at the Boussiphone studios in Casablanca. The records were never distributed and therefore remained unknown for almost 50 years, until Radio Martiko discovered a batch of unsold factory stock a few years ago. On this album, you will find a selection of these revolutionary recordings.

A friend of mine managed to breed her Saharan sand boas, something which... is extremely rare in the USA, because it's difficult to do and not a lot of people know how in the first place. Almost all Saharans are wild caught, which is not ideal. But! She managed it, on what info she could find, and the eggs have been growing and were SUPPOSED to hatch at LEAST 5 days ago, but the clutch is quite large (9 eggs!) so we think they came out earlier than typical.

Of course, she expected them to be well hatched already, and had made plans to be out of town with her family today and tomorrow, so this morning was the day they decided to Start Hatching. So, I'm over here babyssssssitting these extremely precious little babies.

Morocco’s Tiny Sand Cats Reveal Behavior Never Before Seen in Wild Cats

Researchers tracking the charismatic carnivores say their findings are ‘truly eye-opening’ and may warrant an upgrade in conservation status.

The shitposting moment of inspiration actually gave me unique insight. The metaphor of watching Twitter news from Tumblr as watching the collapse of the Roman Empire from a Saharan oasis is too accurate. Like.

You live in your small community of people you well know and mostly get along with. You know of that moloch that has not so long ago been setting the blueprint of public debate and rule of law for centuries to come. Maybe you even traded with people under its rule. Recently, though, you mostly get news of its depostic ruler getting rid of all checking insititutions and advisors, enjoying setting things and people on fire and general economic collapse.

Make no mistake though, move too far away from your save little enclave and heat and dehydration will drive you mad or kill you or both in one order or another. Other tribes are as likely to trade with you as attack you via anon asks. Sometimes staff brings about unilveable sandstorms and draughts.

Neil Gaiman is the nomadic poet sage that everyone consults on everything from the meaning of life to cooking their meals. He's usually surrounded by the possy of five fenec foxes.

Say Hi to the Spotted Hyena

The spotted hyena is also known, perhaps most famously, as the laughing hyena (Crocuta crocuta). This species once ranged throughout Eurasia, but following the end of the Ice Age was restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Today they can be found in many types of dry, open habitat, including savannah, semi-desert, and mountain forests. At times, the spotted hyena may also enter urban areas in search of food.

Unlike other hyenas, Crocuta crotuta is a predator, not a scavenger. They most commonly prey on wildebeast, but they may also hunt zebra, gazelles, Cape buffalo, and warthog. In addition, desperate times may cause packs to hunt on more dangerous prey such as young hippopotamus, giraffe, and rhinoceros. Spotted hyenas have incredible endurance, reaching speeds of 60 km/hr (37 mph); a single chase can last over 24 km (14 miles). When live prey is scarce, the laughing hyena can also turn to carrion, as well as snakes and ostrich eggs. In turn, this species may be killed by lions, though this may be motivated more by competition than prey drive.

Spotted hyena females are typically larger than males, weighing 44.5–67.6 kg (98–149 lb) to the males' 40.5–69.2 kg (89.3–153 lb). The height range for both sexes lies between 70–91.5 cm (27.6–36.0 in). In addition, female laughing hyena are somewhat famous for their masculinated genetalia; the clitoris is enlarged, resembling a penis, and is accompanied by sacs filled with fibrous tissue that resemble a scrotum. As the name implies, the coat is light brown with darker spots over most of the body. Because the species has such a wide diet, it has was is considered to be the strongest in relation to size of any mammal. The bite force is stronger than that of a brown bear, and can exert a force of 4,500 newtons-- enough to crush bone.

The laughing hyena is a highly social animal, and individuals live in communities up to 80 strong; size largely depends on prey availability and whether or not the group migrates. A clan territory can be anywhere from 40 km (24 mi) to 1000 (621mi) squared. Females dominate the males, and a pack is usually led by a matriarch. Hierarchies are strictly enforced, and positions are primarily inherited through birth and transferred through death. In addition, one's rank is maintained and recognized through social alliances and their contributions to the clan rather than size or dominance displays. The entirety of the clan comes together most often when defending a territory, gathering at the communal den, or at a kill; however, these kills are more commonly produced from smaller offshoots of the clan.

Crocuta crotuta can breed year-round, though mating is at its peak during the wet season from April to June. Members of both sexes pair indiscriminately with multiple mates, both within their clan and without. To offer himself, the male performs a mating ritual in which he lowers himself to the ground before the female, and retreats if any aggression is shown. Once impregnated, the female carries for about 110 days before giving birth to two cubs-- three is fairly rare. Weaning takes another 14 to 18 months, during which time cubs learn to hunt and defend the clan, as well as establish their place in the social hierarchy. Sootted hyenas reach maturity at about 3 years old, and can live an average of 12 years in the wild, though individuals as old as 25 have been recorded.

Conservation status: The spotted hyena has been determined Least Concern by the IUCN. However, outside protected areas the population is declining due to deforestation and hunting as a nuisance species.

Analysis of classic genetic markers and DNA polymorphisms by Excoffier et al. (1987) found that the Sara are most closely related to the Kunama people of Eritrea.

Both populations speak languages from the Nilo-Saharan family. They are also similar to West African populations, but biologically distinct from the surrounding Cushitic and Ethiopian Semitic Afro-Asiatic-speaking groups

The Sara people are a Central Sudanic ethnic group native to southern Chad, the northwestern areas of the Central African Republic, and the southern border of North Sudan. They speak the Sara languages which are a part of the Central Sudanic language family. They are also the largest ethnic group in Chad.

Sara oral histories add further details about the people. In summary, the Sara are mostly animists (veneration of nature), with a social order made up of several patrilineal clans formerly united into a single polity with a national language, national identity, and national religion.
