  • Harpy Eagle  (Harpia harpyja). CAPTIVE. Gabaro Huaorani Indian Community. Yasuni National Park. Amazon Rain Forest<br />
ECUADOR, South America<br />
Range: Forests of Central America to ne Argentina and s Brazil.<br />
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED. Mainly due to habitat destruction.<br />
Harpy eagle was named by early South American explorers after the predatory half-woman, half-bird monster in Greek mythology.  Their hind talons are as large as a grizzly bear's claws. An adult female weighs up to 9kgs (20Lbs) with a 7' wing span.  They are the most powerful eagle in the world.

  • Whitebacked vulture (Gyps africanus) and Lappetfaced vulture (Torgos tracheliotus) Makalolo Plains, Hwange National Park, ZIMBABWE. Southern Africa <br />
WHITEBACKED: Gregarious birds. Roost in trees at night, soaring soon after sunrise to forage. Glides then dives following other vultures, crows, kites, hyaenas or lions to locate food. Often rests on ground by day. Drinks and bathes regularly at waterholes. Aggressive at carcass. May loaf on ground near carcass for hours after feeding.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Savanna & bushveld. Africa s of Sahara, except forests and extreme desert. <br />
LAPPETFACED: Very large vulture that is dominant over all other species at a carcass. It may be solitary or in pairs and sometimes many birds at a carcass as well as being in the company of other vulture species. Roosts in trees at night and flies with difficulty in absence of thermals. Soars out well after sunrise to forage over wide area. Tears into tough carcasses by ripping with stout bill. Rarely steals carrion from smaller vultures. May loaf for hours near carcass after feeding.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Savanna and desert. Much of Africa s or Sahara. Part of NW Africa, Arabia and Israel.

  • Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris) Male. WILD<br />
PHOTOGRAPHED IN: Serra da Bodoquena. Limestone elevated area which devides the Pantanal and the Cerrado. Mato Grosso do Sur Province. BRAZIL.  South America. RANGE: South America, E of Andes from n colombia to s Brazil, n Argentina and Paraguay, including Amazonia and Orinoco tropical forest basins.  They habit lowland rain forest and lower montaine forest from sea level to 1,700 meters (5,600 ft). <br />
Over hunting by humans and forest destruction is causing their numbers to decline dramatically and they are now classified as near threatened. They are predictable as they use well defined paths to water, where they spend large amounts of time either fully submerged or mud-wallowing. They live on average of 30 years with the female giving birth on average of 1 young every two years. These are the heaviest wild land mammals in South America.

  • Baudrier's chameleon (Furcifer balteatus) FEMALE. Occurs in the eastern rain forest from Ranomafana National Park to Andohahela National Park. MADAGASCAR.<br />
This species is large with a length of 35cm and has divergent nasal appendages and a bold diagonal stripe present on each flank extending from behind the occiput to the inguinal region. Males are duller than females with white and green alternated stripes. <br />
There are more than 150 species world wide and over half of those are only found in Madagascar. All species on the island are Native.<br />
Chameleons are well-known for their special adaptions: The ability to change color rapidly to either match their surroundings or to reflect their mood. They have the capacity to move their turreted eyes independently of each other which allows them to look in different directions simultaneously. They have independent 360 degree vision except when hunting they use binocular vison to estimate the distance of the prey. They capture their prey with the rapid firing of their tongue which can extend to approximately half of their body length and is ended with a kind of gluing hammer. All species found in Madagascar lay eggs (Oviparous) and do not give parental care. The calumma and furcifer group are known as true chameleons as they have a prehensile tail.  The Calumma group is highly arboreal, thus the prehenile tail as well as having opposable, fused fingers to grip onto branches. They tend to be solitary except during the breeding season. <br />
Furcifer balteatus is CITES 11 classification and needs an export permit to be exported from Madagascar.<br />

  • African elephants (Loxodonta africana) drinking at Savuti Elephant Camp waterhole. Tourists are in a log pile hide at the waterhole.<br />
Savuti Channel in the Linyanti area.<br />
BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
HABITAT: Woodland savanna near water.<br />
STATUS: Botswana is one of the stongholds of the African elepant where their numbers are increasing.<br />
These are the world's largest land mammals with a shoulder height of 3 meters and weighing 6,000kg-male and 4,000-5,000kgs for females.<br />
Bulls and cows live in separate groups. Breeding herds generally consist of a dominant female or matriarch with a few closely related females and their offspring. Bulls are often found alone or in loosely bonded bachelor groups.<br />
Due to heavy poaching all over Africa CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) has banned the trade of ivory products. <br />
At the end of the dry season (around late October) there is very little water near available food so they have large distances to travel from the water in order to find enough food.

  • Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli) large herbivore living in open plains.  MOTHER AND BABY. Linyanti and Savuti areas. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
Their upper and lower incisors make them the only grazers to be able to chew off long and coarse grass rather than tearing off softer and shorter grass. They are water dependent so usually come to a water sourse at least once per day. These diurnal animals weight up to 300kgs and have one foal per year. Impressive annual migrations occur every year between their winter and summer feeding grounds.

  • Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) near Andringitra mountains. South-central MADAGASCAR <br />
THIS GENUS CONTAINS A SINGLE SPECIES<br />
Males and females look alike. Medium sized lemurs, length of 950-1,100mm and weight: 2.3-3.5kg's. They have long alternate black and white ringed tails and adopt a horizontal body posture generally moving quadrupedally on the ground. Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal and are the most terrestrial of all Malagasy primates. This species has been studied since the 1960's and more information has been gathered on it than any other Malagasy primate. Their diet is very varied and consists of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap and occasionally invertebrates. They also occur in larger groups than any other Malagasy primate - from 3 to around 25. There is a well-defined and maintained heirachy within the troop and females are dominant with the alpha female forming the focal point for the group. Males also have their own heirachy. Scent marking is important for demarking their territory. Young are born in August and September. Only 30% reach adulthood.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Spiny forest, dry scrub, deciduous forest and gallery forest are used throughout the majority of its range. At Andringitra Massif they are found on exposed rocks. They are found in south and south-western Madagascar from Tolagnaro in the se to just south of Morondava on the west coast. Generally found at lower elevations except in Andringitra Massif where it has been recorded above the treeline to altitudes in excess of 2,600 meters.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The two main habitat types preferred by Ring-tailed lemurs, dense Didieraceae/Euphorbiaceae bush and riverside gallery forest, are already restricted and known to be diminishing alarmingly as a result of fires, overgrazing and wood-harvesting for charcoal production. They are still hunted for food and trapped to be kept as pets.<br />
