"Morus: A Fascinating World of Gannets, Mulberries, and Silk Moths" Northern gannets (Morus bassanus) gracefully dive for fish in the crystal-clear waters off Shetland, Scotland. This split-level shot captures their incredible hunting skills. In April, hungry gannets (Morus bassanus) flock to Shetland, Scotland to feast on discarded fish. Witness their impressive diving maneuvers as they plunge into the sea. July brings another spectacle as Northern gannets (Morus bassanus) continue their quest for fish off the coast of Shetland, Scotland. The split-level shot showcases their elegance against a stunning backdrop. While Morus often refers to gannets, let's not forget about the Black Mulberry tree. Known for its delicious fruits and beautiful foliage, it adds charm to any landscape. Amidst the rugged beauty of the Shetland Islands in August, a fluffy chick accompanies its proud parent - a majestic Gannet (Morus bassanus). Witness this heartwarming scene unfold before your eyes. Picture No. 11067603 takes us on an aerial journey with a Gannet in flight at Muriwai gannet colony near Auckland's west coast in New Zealand—a testament to nature's wonders. Delicate silk moths and silkworms (Bombyx mori) find solace among mulberry trees—their primary food source—creating a harmonious relationship between nature and sericulture. Sula capensis or Cape Gannets showcase their gracefulness while soaring above South Africa's coastal waters—an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of Morus' global presence. In April once again, hungry gannets (Morus bassanus) gather around Shetland's shores eagerly feasting on discarded fish—a true testament to their resourcefulness.
