Every time you enter or leave St Tropez you get bombarded with these guys. You can go on to there site and buy yhe photos they take, but I bet they are on the look out for Rich and Famous people. Its funny there are two ot three outfits doing this type of photography in the St Tropez area, and before this season there was nothing like this.

No idea of the gender on the pronghorn, but the image came out even better than I expected. Maybe an immature male?

Another one from a large number taken and a different image number.

The Vervet monkey is a member of the guenon family of monkeys, one of the most common and widely spread in Africa. Characteristics of guenons are their long arms, legs, and tails; small, round heads; and short faces with whiskers. Specific characteristics of the Vervet are its black face, black feet, and black-tipped tail; mottled grey fur with white fur on its belly. Vervet troops can number up to 120 but due to habitat loss and persecution now rarely exceed 30. Vervets organize themselves into complex, but very stable family groups commonly referred to as “troops.” Troops are organized around an alpha male who acts as the leader of the group, several smaller groups of closely related adult females and their offspring, and lesser adult males.

This is a cropped version of a recent prior submission which, the more I looked at it the less I liked it. This cuts out some distraction. I hope you enjoy it... more than the first! trh
The doe was about to flee, the tail is coming up and the front hoof is pounding the dirt, she came up to eat the seed pods that had fallen from the honey locust tree. Looks like she helps spread the sticker trees around the area.
Happy New Year!!

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae): that is, unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. The word "cheetah" is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning "variegated body."
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of 70-75 mph in short bursts covering distances up to 460m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 68 mph in three seconds, faster than most supercars.
Sadly, cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Recent inbreeding causes cheetahs to share very similar genetic profiles. This has led to poor sperm, birth defects, cramped teeth, curled tails, and bent limbs. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.
Cheetahs are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Red List of threatened species. Some 7,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa and (a few) Asia.
There have been successful breeding programmes, including the use of in vitro fertilisation, in zoos around the world. This beauty was seen at Chester Zoo.
