WORLD WILDLIFE

BEAUTY & INNOCENCE


Capturing a wild animal on film at the defining moment is one of the greatest challenges to a wildlife photographer.

Most of these images were shot in the wild with a 35mm Nikon N90S camera. I nearly stepped on the white-tailed fawn. With no land predators, adult penguins in Antarctic waddled within ten feet of me.

Maybe because they cannot speak a human tongue or save themselves from habitat destruction and other unnatural activities, I hold a rare place in my heart for wild creatures.

This global gallery will continually grow. I look forward to any feedback.

  • This endangered MORELET'S CROCODILE lives in a lagoon of the New River in the Orange Walk District of BELIZE. One evening my host, Mark Howell of Lamanai Outpost Lodge, another fellow, and I donned headlights and searched for these reptiles from an airboat. <br />

To the tune of Simon Says, I waded in the water after Mark and felt the snout of this same croc brush my pants leg. Later, I held it. <br />

Because of the setting on this image, I recommend purchasing no larger than an 8" x 10."
  • These male TIGER SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLIES are mud puddling.<br />
They gather nutrients from the mud and pass them during mating.
