When your brother is 35, instead of 5, he no longer believes you when you tell him things like “this is what happens when the chocolate and caramel rivers merge”.

Blue Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius)

Blue Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius)_2


Pollinator frogs visit a great many flowers in a day as they collect nectar to support the rest of the hive.


Sadly, the global spread of the chytrid fungus is endangering these little creatures and putting humanity’s food supply at risk.

Pictures not by me

I went, with friends, to a place called Nurtured by Nature, where you get to swim with otters (and see other things but, really, it’s the otters that are the highlights). So since you normally don’t get to see photos of me, I thought I’d post these before I queue up the photos that I did take. (If you’re seeing this on FB or Twitter, click through to see all of the photos).


Baby Otters_2

This is what I look like when I’m being prevented from taking photos by manipulative otters.


Otters_10

This is what I look like when I am being investigated by inquisitive otters.


Baby Otters_18_v2

This is what I look like when I am taking photos of a friend being attacked by vicious otters.


Animal_1

And this is what I look like most of the time when I’m off visiting zoos and such.


(All photos taken by my friend K, whose name I will not give as this is a public post and I do not have permission to share names.)
