Giraffes (Girafas). Kruger Park. South Africa. Dec/2018
The giraffe (Giraffa) is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus currently consists of one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, the type species. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils. Taxonomic classifications of one to eight extant giraffe species have been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa, but the IUCN currently recognises only one species with nine subspecies.
The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. They may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs.
Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of around 20,000 square kilometres in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west.

A girafa é um gênero de mamíferos ungulados africanos, sendo os animais terrestres mais altos e os maiores ruminantes. O gênero atualmente consiste de uma espécie, Giraffa camelopardalis, a espécie-tipo. Sete outras espécies são espécies pré-históricas conhecidas de fósseis. Classificações taxonômicas de uma a oito espécies existentes de girafas foram descritas, baseadas em pesquisas com DNA nuclear e mitocondrial, bem como em medidas morfológicas de Giraffa, mas atualmente a IUCN reconhece apenas uma espécie com nove subespécies.
As principais características distintivas da girafa são seu pescoço e pernas extremamente longos, seus ossólones semelhantes a chifres e seus distintos padrões de pelagem. É classificada sob a família Giraffidae, junto com seu parente mais próximo, o okapi. Seu alcance disperso estende-se do Chade, no norte, até a África do Sul, no sul, e do Níger, no oeste, até a Somália, no leste. Girafas geralmente habitam savanas e bosques. Sua fonte de alimento são folhas, frutos e flores de plantas lenhosas, principalmente espécies de acácia. Eles podem ser predados por leões, leopardos, hienas dentre outros.
O Parque Nacional Kruger é a maior área protegida de fauna bravia da África do Sul, cobrindo cerca de 20 000 km2. Está localizado no nordeste do país, nas províncias de Mpumalanga e Limpopo e tem uma extensão de cerca de 360 km de norte a sul e 65 km de leste a oeste.
Os parques nacionais africanos, nas regiões da savana africana são importantes pelo turismo com safári de observação e fotográfico.
O seu nome foi dado em homenagem a Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger, último presidente da República Sul-Africana bôere. Foi criado em 31 de Maio de 1926

Description of work: The historic illustrations included in this project were originally published during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many originally appeared in publications that predated the widespread use of photography for art documentation. These engravings, line drawings, and plans reflect both the technological and aesthetic standards of their time. By their very nature, they often represent subjective interpretations of the monuments and works depicted, and as such they offer fascinating insights into the cultural values of art and architectural history during the formative years of these disciplines. In the context of these images the terms ""reconstruction"" and ""rendering"" have been used to distinguish between the artists' speculative reconstruction of a ruined work from the artists' perspective drawing or rendition of the design.

This plant first collected near Walcha in the 1800's was considered extinct until rediscovered in the 1970's. It is considered likely to become extinct in the wild so is listed as endangered although the plant is now in cultivation.

The horse family has lived in North America for about 50 million years. Beginning with an ancestor only two feet tall, horses have increased in size and diversity throughout their long history. They migrated to Europe, Asia and Africa before becoming extinct in the New World at the end of the Pleistocene. The wild mustangs found in the west today are descendants of modern horses brought to the New World by the early Spanish conquistadors.

London : Chapman & Hall, 1896.
14/03/2009 Glyptodon, at the Natural History Museum, London. Wikipedia says they were the size of a VW Beetle - perhaps this was a baby. Taken during a visit to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year show, which made me feel rather the way this chap seems to - depressed by my own inadequacy.

Taken from Blackford Hill. Looks a nice day, but shortly after taking this it started pelting down with hail, in true Edinburgh style.

I traveled to French Polynesia on assignment for Nikon and AFAR Magazine, looking to capture the essential islander experience. This is what I brought back from my travels.
Special thanks the the Four Seasons Bora Bora for hosting me, and to Top Dive for outfitting my incredible oceanic excursions.
Bora Bora is a 30.55 km2 island group in the Leeward group in the western part of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The main island, located about 230 kilometers (143 miles) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 feet).
Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric luxury resorts. The major settlement, Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon. Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for copra.
