part of my wasp project - I'm playing on the idea of a wasp being something aggressive and commonly feared by comparing it to something much larger and more dangerous. I did the text with a stencil and ink, everything else is fineliner. :)
Leopard
This muscular cat can carry an animal its own weight up a tree. By storing kills in trees, the leopard protects uneaten food from hyenas and lions.
Impala
When impalas run, they leap explosively in different directions to confuse predators. But even such diversionary tactics did not foil the leopard that ambushed this impala.
death mask predator. model cast by narin. source can be found here www.predatorstuff.com/shop/item_340/
I painted this using other predator photos from sculpts and images and airbrushing in photo shop. time taken, 2 days. the mask has lost detail from the original design due to the using the wolf mask as a texture but I like the way its turned out. the red section I later added as I thought it needed more colour. The hair was a bitch too do but I think it turned out really well. closer photos of this and you will see the faults that could not be avoided through the process I used to create this. let me know what you think.
I'm always interested by prey and predator interactions. There were 2 male lions lying down and the springbok came to within about 10 metres of them and carry on grazing - obviously they know by the time either of those lions get up they'll be about a km away! It's a total contrast to seeing them interact with the african wild dogs - any sign of interest from the dogs and the springbok are pronking far away from them - I suppose with good reason - on this same day in the evening we saw wild dogs chase down a sprinbok and catch it - they're amazingly fast animals (of course Murphy's law - it was just too dark to take photos!)

I know...sort of gruesome, but nature is like that sometimes. ...flickriver; www.flickriver.com/photos/45014657@N04/
На самом деле очень добрая (правда немного пугливая) кошечка, которая повстречалась нам на базе отдыха в Лосево.
I think this is a small species of wolf spider, I didn´t get pictures of its back to help get an id but it was sitting on a tree branch so if anyone can help ID, it would be much appreciated.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thanks for viewing my photos, comments are much appreciated.
