Usually a tag team like this isn’t really fair, but somehow I think that Mama Tiger can handle herself with these two. :) It’s nice to see tiger breeding programs in action, as tigers are on the critically endangered list. Unfortunately, these beautiful animals are the white bengal variant, which is not found naturally in the wild and is a product of the white tiger breeding trade. These beautiful and innocent tiger cubs were not bred by the zoo; rather, the mother tiger was rescued from a breeder and she was already pregnant when the zoo rescued her. In fact, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from acquiring and breeding white tigers because the rate of genetic defects is high and the white tiger trade engages in terribly unethical practices.

I stood watching this young bonobo ape (an endangered species related to the chimpanzee) for a while, and I noticed that after a bit he was watching me, too. So I started talking to him, simple things like “Hello there,” and “Aren’t you handsome?” (Yes, people gave me funny looks, and no, I didn’t care.) He actually seemed to like it, and we gestured and held eye contact for a couple of minutes. Then, some people strolled up next to me and started making obnoxious “monkey noises” and saying “Heyyy monkey monkey” and so on. Now, bonobos are not monkeys, they are apes, and they do not make “monkey noises,” and I could clearly see that this little guy found all of this annoying. So, after a moment, he purposefully stood up, turned around, bent over, and put his head between his legs as you see here. I don’t think the monkey-noise people really got it, but I did, and I so wish I could have given him a high-5. :P In conjunction with the Primates Group’s fundraising efforts, 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Gorilla Haven.

I don’t think it is a coincidence that the eyes of a white bengal tiger are blue, as they always seem to be filled with sadness… As you probably know, I take a lot of photos of white bengal tigers. But I always have mixed feelings when I upload them… Yes, the animals are stunning, but the white tiger isn’t something that is found in nature, and is a product of humans breeding them for the “white tiger trade.” All white tigers can be traced back to a single tiger born with a genetic mutation in the 1950s that created a white coat and blue eyes. This tiger’s “owner” immediately saw dollar signs and started to breed him to produce other white tigers. Naturally, this required a great deal of inbreeding, which has led to many white tigers having all sorts of genetic problems. Not only this, but about 3/4 of the cubs born in the white tiger trade are actually orange. These “undesirables” are either killed or sold to game farms where brave hunters pay to shoot and kill these captive animals. Because of these horribly unethical practices, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from purchasing white tigers from such breeders and from breeding them due to the high rate of genetic defects. All of the white tigers I have photographed have been those that were fortunate enough to have been rescued from the breeding trade (including the shot Tag Team ). Most white tigers aren’t so lucky. You can help put an end to this trade by not going to circuses and animal parks that purchase white tigers from breeders. When the demand ceases, this practice will cease as well. This shot was taken with a 50mm macro lens and isn’t a crop… Yes, I was that close!! 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.

We were really lucky to come across these “Little Bee Eaters” whilst on safari in Samburu National Park. They didn’t sit still for long, always moving then flying away, but when they did I was fortunate enough to get this shot. / / (Samburu National Park – Kenya) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

This beautiful creature is the East African bongo, a large antelope that lives in the forest. Different tribes in Africa have legends about the bongos’ various magical powers, which are largely a reflection of their ability to “disappear” into the forest at a moment’s notice. This particular species of bongo is endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching, and now there are more East African bongos in captivity than there are in the wild. Let’s hope that we can help this species before they do a real disappearing act. 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

this gang of Adelie penguins gave me a great opportunity for quite a series of entertaining photographs as they zoomed busily about their icy playground. This photo has become a symbol of connection and friendship among my own personal group of nearest and dearest friends.

I would like to thank Redbubble for featuring this piece. It’s hard for me to account for it’s popularity, as it started as only a lens test. The image was taken against a slightly weatherbeaten grain elevator in downtown Frisco, Texas. This is what produced the texture for the shot. Unfortunately (for photography), the elevator has since been repainted.

Ah Zebras, my favourites, i could never get sick of them and was always most excited when spotting them in Africa, they beat any other wild animals for me.

What drew me to this shot (apart from the stunning beauty of the jaguar) was that here she was, trying to hide behind trees and leaves, yet she was literally just glowing in the sunlight… As if she couldn’t hide her beauty and strength no matter how hard she tried… I’m sure you know people in your life like this, or maybe even you yourself are like this… They hide behind screen names or job roles or maybe just shyness, but their personality, their inner glow, isn’t able to be hidden and just shines on… The jaguar is classified as a near-threatened species, which means that they could be threatened with extinction in the near future. Their main threats are deforestation, poaching, and conflicts with ranchers who kill them. However, things have gotten a little better for the jaguar; during the 1960s, their numbers saw serious declines due to the pelt trade, with around 15,000 jaguar skins being shipped out of South America each year. But the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in 1973 decreased that number sharply, which just goes to show that positive legislation and treaties really can make a difference in helping species survive. 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

This is an irked bluestripe garter snake giving me his death glare. See, we aren’t supposed to have this species of snake in my area (Gainesville, Florida), which meant that I just had to capture him for a few photos. To get to him, I had to lunge into cattails and grasses by a pond (nevermind that I nearly fell in) and grab him and pull him out. Understandably, he wasn’t happy about this, and he let me know by biting me. Repeatedly. So I crouched on the ground with the snake in my one bloody hand and my camera in the other and took some photos. This one I think came out the best, as it shows his serious (and justified!) annoyance at me. It was a great experience on the whole, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

This was the best day of our Artic trip, we were so lucky to spend hours with this polar bear mum and cubs (there were actually two cubs but the other is out of shot).

As I said on my “Polar Love” image, this was the best day of our Arctic trip. We were so lucky to spend hours with this mum and cubs as they moved around the ice flows. These cubs were around seven months old and full of joy – although they did not seem all that keen to follow mum this time! / / The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut!

Loggerhead sea turtles are endangered, and their main threat is an industry that has nothing to do with them: the crabfishing industry. These turtles get caught in the crabfisher’s nets and are killed, even though the nets aren’t meant to capture them. There are many examples of this sort of collateral damage with ocean animals, and it has driven species such as porpoises, sunfish, seaturtles, and the baiji nearly to extinction (or fully to extinction in the case of the baiji). 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, a four-star charity that is dedicated to the conservation and survival of the sea turtles.
