The indri indri is the largest of all the lemurs in Madagascar. It kind of looks like a small man wearing panda bear pajamas. They are known for their eerie, wailing calls which can be heard two and a half miles away. They are also known to be quite acrobatic in the trees and can jump great distances. I caught this one just before it catapulted through the air to another tree. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 165mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, Nikon SB-800 flash
One of my favorite sightings on our Kenya trip two years ago was this serval cat. It was our last night of a two week safari and we were on our way back to camp for the last time, quite satisfied with all that we had seen. We had already photographed the big five, including many rhino and a few leopards. This was icing on the cake and we almost missed it as we were packing up my camera gear for the night. Servals are a medium sized cat, but with long legs, and an unusually small head a top a long neck. This one had been crouching in the grass and was just getting up — most likely to go hunting.

And yet another one from last weekend in Zion National Park. This time a mule deer buck. Deer were all over the place, especially first thing in the morning and early in the evening. This guy was grazing on the front lawn of the Zion lodge, steps away from my room. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/100th of a second
Zion National Park is definitely a landscape location. Unfortunately, I got sidetracked with the grey fox I posted yesterday and didn’t really get much time to seek out any of the park’s spectacular vistas. I grabbed this shot first thing in the morning on the way to a meeting. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 35mm) ISO 400, f/20 at 1/100th, 1/400th, 1/200th, 1/50th and 1/25th of a second
I was in Zion National Park in Utah over the weekend on business, but still managed to squeeze in a little time to get out and see what I could find. I arrived at the lodge after dark on Thursday and saw three grey foxes running around the parking area. I was determined to get out and find them again during daylight hours. Meetings finished early on Saturday and I was able to get out for about half an hour or so before heading to a client dinner. Sure enough, that was all I needed to find this dashing specimen. I managed quite a few shots as it meandered through the woods, dodging in and out of the grazing mule deer. I’ve been fortunate enough to photograph many red fox over the years, but the grey fox has eluded me for the most part. Both foxes have a mix of red and grey fur, but those colors are distributed in a different pattern and the grey fox lacks the characteristic white tail tip of the red fox.

I post a lot of black crested macaques. But then again, they are the best monkeys on the planet. This baby was calling out to its mother in the forests of Tangkoko National Park on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

I’m not sure what species of chameleon this is, I just know that it wasn’t looking like it was too thrilled with the way its day was going. This one was taken at a chameleon farm in central Madagascar. Half the world’s chameleons live in Madagascar — 59 species of which live nowhere else on earth.

Grazing zebras are a common sight on the savanna. This small herd was enjoying a late breakfast when we came upon them backlit by the rising sun. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 95mm) ISO 400, f/22 at 1/60th of a second
I recently posted a photo of the dwarf mongoose. This guy is a different species, called the slender mongoose. He/she was also photographed on our recent trip to Botswana. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second
I saw several of these tiny rain frogs while hiking at night in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. On this particular evening, a steady mist was falling, making all the frogs quite content. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 105mm macro lens, ISO 200, f/14 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-900 flash units
