Portrait of Bruce by Paul Woloschuk

My Son’s Bearded Dragon is quite a character. He broke his Femur last year when he made a dash for freedom, but hadn’t reckoned on the three foot drop from his Vivarium to the floor! Here he is about to go to sleep in what would appear to be a particularly uncomfortable position with his head resting on his favourite log just before his normal bedtime of 6pm (that’s when his heat lamp goes out).

Waiting by starBellyDesign

I walk around my neighborhood every day, and this is one buddy I’ve made. I think the few minutes I spend with this fellow are very important to him; this morning I saw him sitting at the fence, watching the sidewalk, waiting for me. Taken with a fuji finepix A500.

Suta portrait by Nephrurus

This is a Myall Snake Suta suta from Terrick Terrick NP, Central Victoria. We didn’t have much luck locating plains wanderers, but we did find a couple of these little fellas. They seem to be moving about at the most unlikely times, moonlit nights; cold, windy nights, etc… It was nice seeing some, all the same. -H
Nina Says.....I Only Have Eyes For You by Teresa Burnett

Nina is one of only two remaining wild born Western Lowland gorillas at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. She is a grand old lady somewhere between 40 and 50 years old and she is wonderful! She has a fantastic sense of humor. She will sit looking so stoic for a while, then all of a sudden she will stick her tongue out and make faces! I just adore her! The Western Lowland Gorilla is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Adult male Gorillas are prone to cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. Binti Jua, who resides at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, saved a three year old boy who fell into her enclosure in 2003. / The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered. The gorilla is vulnerable to Ebola, deforestation, and poaching. Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens / 131 views FEATURED:CEE’S FUN ARTSY FRIENDS GROUP 11-18-09 / / FEATURED:EYE CONTACT 11-20-09 /

The Look by Bunny Clarke

This big guy really was beginning to get annoyed with all the pictures I was taking (about 5 minutes worth), so I had to move on. He wanted to eat his dinner in peace, so I finally left him. Corpus Christi, TX, USA Featured in: The Sisterhood Canon PowerShot SX10IS
Benjamin....aka Benny the Bear by Teresa Burnett

This big guy resides at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. Was nearly feeding time when we got to the bears, and he was wandering around looking for his dinner! I was hoping he wouldn’t decide I looked yummy, because from where I was standing, I couldn’t see very much that would deter him if he decided to leave his confines (although I’m sure there must be and I just couldn’t see it). / Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens /
curious cobra by mamba

cobra / This cobra seemed mesmorised by his own reflection in the lens. Whenever I moved the camera, he moved his head accordingly.
Misty by Edge-of-dreams

I worked for a vet once and this cheeky little stray kitten was brought in by a lady Apparently, someone had dumped her in their garden. I took her home that evening and said to my horrified partner (we had 3 pets already) – “she’s only staying the night”. She ended up staying for 15 years.! Taken with a Minolta Dimage F100 compact camera.

This group is some thing very special between you the photographer and the animal that you capture when you look directly into the eyes of any animal there is a very special moment between animal and human I have felt it many a time and this group is all about that moment even if it’s a few seconds…....

Please don’t be offended if an image is rejected …… A few are still submitting side views now belive me we do not like rejecting any images unless we have too’ we really have to see them eyes looking at you, both eyes looking directly down the lens of your camera, the animals head can be tilted in any direction as long as them eyes are looking directly at you, I can not stress this enough eye contact is the name of the group and it’s eye contact we won’t.
