Just Kidding by Jay Ryser
This is one of the new mountain goat kids, born about 2-3 weeks ago. Because he’s so young, he spends most of his time around mom. Fortunately, his mother is pretty experienced in raising kids and doesn’t get too upset when he wanders off. Despite his young age, he’s already very comfortable running around and playing on very steep slopes. I do like the diagonal elements in the composition – I usually try not to have the horizon bisect the subject, but in this case I wasn’t able to get a different angle and decided to include it.

Anti-Gravity Goats by Jay Ryser
These are mountain goat kids – only about 3-4 weeks old in this image. These 2 here are inseparable playmates, and spent most of the time I was near them chasing each other around and butting each other off of rocks. This may be play behavior, but in reality they’re practicing skills they need to survive – running, evading, climbing steep rocks, descending steep slopes. It’s just so darn cute you can’t help but laugh as they do their acrobatics. I finally wised up and used the 24-70 to be able to capture the wide view of their antics – the 300 was just too much lens to capture these 2 using the summit as their playground. I have a LOT more images on my WEB SITE Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus) / Mt Evans Wilderness Area, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 ISO400, 1/1000sec, f/4.5

You Lookin' At Me? by Jay Ryser
Larry the Pika again, perched on a rock at 14,000ft. At a slight distance, these little critters look like a rock – that is, until they move. It’s tough to spot them in a talus field – I have to sometimes wait until they move (and they move fast) to be able to spot them. You can also sometimes locate them by sound – they let out a surprisingly loud EEENK as a warning to their neighbors if you get too close to one. Pikas are considered to be one of the few altruistic species in the world, including marmots and, arguably, humans. Pikas are considered at at-risk species due to climate change – they’re very vulnerable to warm weather. It’s estimated they can only survive a few hours if temps get above 75F. That makes it difficult for them to migrate to different areas, and there’s only so far they can move up a mountain until they run out of mountain. Pika (Ochotona princeps) / Mt Evans Wilderness Area, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 300mm f/2.8+1.4TC ISO200, 1/640sec, f/5.6

About This Group
A group for images of all non-domesticated mammals, captive or wild.
Please note the following guidelines:
– Please only upload your BEST work so we can keep the quality high. Not every photo needs to be included in a group; pick wisely so that you can showcase the very best. We reserve the right to delete images that are not up to our standard. This is subjective; please do not complain as decisions are final.
– Any kind of Exotic Mammal artwork is acceptable – photography, painting, digital artwork, etc.
– Please only upload ONE per day maximum. If you upload more than this daily, any additional works will be removed and a bubblemail sent. If you continue to upload more than the daily limit, you will be removed from the group.
– No offensive images of animals to be posted – this includes no photos of dead animals.
– Exotic Mammals currently refers to all NON domesticated animals. No pets or domesticated species such as sheep and cows are allowed. No birds, reptiles, amphibians, or Insect photos as they now have their own groups! Additionally, please refrain from uploading images of animals and humans, as there is a separate group for that kind of work as well.
– Lastly and importantly, this group is for you to display your BEST work. Although work featuring captive animals is acceptable, work featuring obvious signs of captivity (such as bars on a cage) is generally discouraged and may be removed at the moderators’ discretion. Exceptions will be made if the cage and surroundings are a part of the overall statement of the artwork as specified in the image’s description.”
