Thought I’d take a break from all the Africa pics and get back to the rest of the world. Here’s another of the giant anteaters I photographed back in late January. It was a hazy morning (no doubt exacerbated by all fires in the area at the time) when we came upon this mother with a baby on her back, doing what anteaters do and checking all the nearby trees for breakfast before taking a nap for the rest of the day. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 3600, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.

Wonderful shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. This was some of the only natural behavior I was able to capture. They can be very skittish.
