My Favorite Images

This young Lion climbed up the tree in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania, and looked down at us in our land cruiser. I'm not sure who was watching who.

Wild Cats

Fishing the shallows paid off for this Brown Bear, which came up with a sockeye.

Bears

This Coyote kept coming up toward the car and retreating again, until he worked up the nerve to pass by and carry on down the road.

Wild Dogs, Coyotes, Jackals & Hyena

Elephants, Rhinos & Hippos

The waterfowl scattered before I saw anything, and then this Bald Eagle swooped in hunting over the lake.

Owls, Eagles, Hawks & Vultures

A Red-and-green Macaw that flew right in front of us as it came in to land on a nearby branch, in Brazil.

Birds

I heard rustling off the path that sounded bigger than a bird, stepping around the tree I found this Raccoon looking down from the hillside at me.

Otters, Mongoose & Raccoons

This American Bison calf was up on the hillside right next to the road in Yellowstone National Park.
