Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and Sunda sambar (Rusa timorensis) - Komodo National Park, Indonesia
A komodo dragon strides past the deer that are one of its main prey items. The deer do not appear to be particularly worried as they keep an eye on the dragon and give it some space. The dragon they can see is relatively safe but a surprise attack by one of the large monitors can pose a danger to these deer. For years there was a misconception that the bacteria living in the dragons mouth were responsible for killing its prey that it had bitten but not killed. In recent years this has been disproved, the dragons do possess some venom. In fact proteins that are present in their venom are known to inhibit blood clotting, lower blood pressure, induce muscle paralysis, and induce hypothermia, leading to shock and loss of consciousness in prey. How potent their venom is and how much of an effect it really has is debatable, most of the dragons prey dies of blood loss from the massive wounds sustained from the lizards backwards hooking teeth. Many of us have heard of water buffalo slowly succumbing to the infection of the bites wounds due to the bacterial flora of the dragons mouth but actually the infection stems from the filthy water in the pools they soak in rather than anything the dragon introduces.

Jemand hat mir mal gesagt, die Zeit würde uns wie ein Raubtier ein Leben lang verfolgen. Ich möchte viel lieber glauben, dass die Zeit unser Gefährte ist, der uns auf unserer Reise begleitet und uns daran erinnert, jeden Moment zu genießen, denn er wird nicht wiederkommen. Was wir hinterlassen ist nicht so wichtig wie die Art, wie wir gelebt haben. Denn letztlich sind wir alle nur sterblich.
(Jean-Luc Picard)

I'm the World's most dangerous predator!
Everything about me invites you in...my voice...my face...even my smell...
As if I would need any of that!
As if you could out-run me!
As if you could fight me off!
I'm designed to kill...

**********************************************
Io sono il predatore più pericoloso che ci sia al mondo!
Ogni cosa, tutto, tutto di me ti attrae...la mia voce...la mia faccia...il mio odore perfino...
Come se io avessi bisogno di questo! Come se tu potessi sfuggirmi!
O potessi respingermi!
Io sono fatto per uccidere...

After my super-ego expression...
I say: Have a wonderful week-end, everyone of you!

The Rules of the Game:
Posting of a detail fragment of a work of art will take place sometime after 8:00 PM EST, five days a week (Sunday; Monday; Tuesday; Wednesday; Thursday. There are no IDs on Friday or Saturday)
Correct answers are allotted points in the following manner:
First correct respondent receives 6 points
Second: 5 points
third: 4 points
fourth: 3 points
fifth: 2 points
Each respondent after that receives 1 point, whether the artist named is correct or not.. 2 points will be awarded if there were not 5 awards.
Incorrect responses will be awarded at least one point (there is no penalty for guessing...actually encouraged).
The opportunity to accrue points can only happen within a maximum of 24 hours. Once the full photograph of the work of Art is elevated and the artist identified, no additional scoring (for that work can occur). (In other words, regardless of pleas, points will not be awarded for a comment/ID made days after the posting) ( Also, 15 guesses does not generate 15 points...only 1 point )
A favorite of the photograph will also garnish 1 point ( only if nothing else is ventured by the participant,…1 point is not added to any other points awarded ).
A summary of scores for the top five positions will be published each Sunday, at the beginning of each set of five photographs.
Caveats / Understanding:
Postings may be held up due to circumstances beyond my control.
Delays in posting may occur each evening. ( sorry, no guarantee on 8:00 EDT, I’m a working stiff in the finance industry and there are late nights at times. – usually month end btw ).
In addition, as most of you are aware, part of the clues for each identity is a “presence/absence” notation about whether the artist has been in a prior Identity Set. Because flickr’s new format doesn’t facilitate the reading of a long list of names in a “Set’s” overview/description, those lists are also available on request. If you send me an email address that can receive attachments, I will transmit an Windows based Excel sheet with the names of the artists and the number of their paintings/objects. ( Be sure to specify which format you would like: xlsx; xls; csv; txt – tab delimited – if you don’t specify the default is xlsx MS Office-10). ( non-windows participants should request txt).
Also, sorry for the bias the timing provides those in the Americas but no matter how I thought about it… I couldn’t come up with a plan to assist Europe and Asia.

Did you know?
The number of cheetahs has decreased from 100,000 at end of the 19th century to approximately 10,000 today.
The cheetah has suffered from inbreeding, high infant mortality, loss of habitat, a reduction in its prey base, conflicts with livestock farming, and a reduced ability to survive in parks and reserves due to the presence of larger predators.
Yet, despite all these problems, the cheetah is the oldest of the big cats, and has survived the longest.

Well, I hated the old mask so I made a new one. It is removable. I'm pretty sure this is the only Predator with a removable mask, or at least the first :D
I'm very proud of the turnout of this fig.
Building another Predator, trying to make the joints stronger and more functional so my kids can play with it and so we can hopefully do some stop motion
Matabele Ant (Megaponera analis) hunting termites on Elephant Dung. These ants are huge and very agressive.
Found in a beach in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Could this be the head of a Predator alien?
Carapace of a spiny lobster. This is a by-product of a natural shedding process.
The Predator Prowler Is an alien gunship, used when conqering Earth like planets/civilisations. It is a VTOL, but is also equiped with a gravity controler...........
Day 7 for Project 365 X 7 - Although I've arguably made Predators already, this is a continuance of that series of figures. This is inspired by some pieces from Amazing Armory that I had received, as well as some of the images seen in the new Predators movie. Thanks!
As usual, it was first designed in LDD, but during rebuilding it in Mecabricks I found there are some parts missing. For a first time added them in directly Blender.

These are the bipeds of the Lime Legión. They are fast and slizzy not being armed with heavy weapons.Depemding on the model it can have a pack or a barrel of missiles.
White marks or parts show higher degree in command chain usually due to success in battlefield.
The structure of the cabin also uses the Wheel part etc. and articulations of legs have been done with guns and technic links. Curiously it can stand up without falling.
HOPE YOU ENJOY

Three predators of course only one winner Golden silk orb-weaver with a Hanging Thief with Damselfly 8-17-2015 I was photographing theHanging Thief with Damselfly when somebody came to see what I was doing and flushed it. The robber fly when right into the top predator net and the spider got an easy meal.
This is an older figure, but one I thought was worth re-posting, as I lost quite a few images when I let my Pro Account lapse. I really liked how this turned out, and am thinking of making a few more Predators as a result! I really need to order the parts to make several of Catsy's Alien figures!
Anyway - I'll have some fun new stuff coming up soon!
As always, thanks for looking at my figures! Feel free to visit my store if you're looking for custom figures!
These majestic birds of prey roam the Australian skies in the early morning using their keen eyesight to spot fresh roadkill, in this case, a kangaroo.
First attempts shooting my Hot Toys - Classic Predator. The quality of this thing is really impressive.
