Kudu are highly alert and notoriously hard to approach. When they detect danger – often using their large, radar-like ears – they give a hoarse alarm bark, then flee with a distinctive, rocking-horse running motion, the male laying back his horns to avoid overhead obstructions.

I was pleased to see my old friend the wild female fox that lives off one of the many trails in Anchorage. It's been two years since I was able to visit and here she was giving quite a look to something that was making noise off in the distance.

Taken 21 February 2023 in Anchorage, Alaska.

I've been spotted across the waterhole, but earlier the Wildebeest had been rutting and running behind them, they were anxious with all the commotion and nervous to approach to drink water. Adult female and juvenile male at Erindi private game reserve, Namibia

Sometimes it can be a little difficult to gauge what a cat might be thinking. One moment it might be very playful and a split second later, its eyes and ears are showing an alert position.

This will be my last Marten image for awhile. I couldn’t resist adding this pose where he shows off that unique patch of beige fur on his chest and those claws on his paws. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
