The Mississippi kite is a small and agile bird of prey with a diet mainly composed of flying insects. However, they often build nests next to, or sometimes even containing, wasp nests and appear to get along just fine as neighbors. After raising its chicks, the Mississippi kite makes a long-haul flight to winter in Argentina and Brazil. This animal lives at the Wildcare Foundation, a rehabilitation facility in Oklahoma.

Eyes riveted on her prey, a lioness catapults from an ambush. In spite of relatively close distance (less than 5 meters) the warthog managed to bolt (no pun intended) to safety. The time seemed to freeze although the moment lasted exactly 5 frames at 1/500th of a second i.e. exactly 1/100th of a second or 10 milliseconds of adrenaline boost. Dusk light required ISO of 3200. Amazing scene. Unforgettable experience - well worth a full day of following this particular lioness.

With the Sadlerochit Mountains rising in the distance, two muskoxen mosey through a scene devoid of the human touch. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the largest protected areas in the U.S. and one of the wildest places left on Earth—at least for now.

A Japanese macaque stares at its reflection in a moped mirror. Some monkeys appear to recognize the image that they’re seeing as themselves, as do apes. It’s behavior like this that’s most fascinating to me and that makes me keep going back and learn more about the natural world.

Australian blue-tongued lizards are widespread over our great country. This particular species is a "common" or "Eastern" blue-tongued lizard, found in the eastern parts of Australia. Living on a farm in the South East of South Australia, we find many of these lizards lazily crawling around our yard, especially during the warmer months. This lizard was courtesy of our hunter-gatherer cat, which is brave enough to bring all sorts of amazing creatures to our back door for inspection and approval!
