This shot was taken on my first full day in the Ethiopian highlands. This family of warthogs regularly visited our campsite so I set up a remote camera with a wide-angle lens to photograph them as they rummaged around for food. They had just had a mud bath in some particularly red mud… hence their orange complexion :)

A young male Ethiopian wolf surveys the frosty landscape at dawn. I hope this photo gives you a sense of just how regal and beautiful these animals are.

We have recently returned from a very productive trip to the Masai Mara in Kenya. Love was in the air, as we came across mating lions on a daily basis...

This is a gorgeous little Eyelash pit viper that I found on my recent trip to Costa Rica. In this shot you can clearly see one of its heat sensitive pits between the eye and nose. These pits give the viper a sixth sense which it uses to detect warm-blooded prey. A snake like this can deliver a potentially lethal dose of venom through its large, hypodermic needle-like fangs that are kept folded back against the roof of its mouth. Needless to say, when taking this shot I was careful not to let my warm-blooded fingers get within striking range!
