Otters and Panda Bears

Otters are very fast, and difficult to photograph.

Let it Snow

I love snow.

Photobucket

It comes after each summer brings more grey hairs to his aging face.

Photobucket


I love snow. Snow makes him young again.

Are you grown up?

I'm not sure.

Photobucket

You have a baby face.

Photobucket

Photobucket


And a serious face.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket


But people still ask me...

Photobucket


... how old is your puppy?

Photobucket

Photobucket


And I have to explain...


Photobucket

...you're just a little slow to mature.


Happy 2nd birthday Badger!

Our closest living relative

The Bonobo is the living species that humans are most closely related to (and their relatives the common chimpanzee).

Photobucket

We share a common ancestor and are separated by only a few million years of evolution. Equally evolved, but in different directions.

Bonobos are able to recognize 'self' in mirror and other reflection tests. That's something a human child can't do until they are 18 months old.

Photobucket

See the resemblance?

Things you didn't know existed

Hello.

I am a pangolin, the world's only scaled mammal.

Photobucket

I am nocturnal, and it is too bright out here.

Photobucket

I have no teeth, and eat ants and termites.

I came back

The trouble with vacations is that they are temporary.
I'm back now.

But I took pictures!

Here is a preview. 5 week old African elephant (yet to be named) and his mother Umngani, sister Khosi (5) and brother Ingadze (2). They live at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California.
