This is a freshly hatched wild gold dust day gecko. I accidently had just the right timing and was able to photograph this little one as it was less than a minute old. It’s so neat to be there when a creature enters the world.
We came across these Rio Grande turkeys on evening in Bosque del Apache. Turkeys are odd animals, but it is nice to see native animals doing their thing.
It’s neat to see the emotions and social structure of other animal groups. This is a photograph that I took in the Serengeti when we came across a herd of elephants. The young elephant on the left was previously playing with a baby elephant and got a little rough. In this picture, the adult female on the right is telling it to knock it off and calm down. After I took this picture, the young elephant started pouting and wandered off moping. If you are out in the world for a while, you start to see that human behavior isn’t really all that exclusive to humans. We are just one group on a long list of complicated, self-aware, creatures.
