Well, this build drained me completely. I've always wanted to build a Predator, but thought it was pretty much impossible. Paddy's fantastic version was just the push I needed to give it a try.
So first things first, I think it turned out terrible. :)) At least it sort of looks like an disproportionate Predator.
This definitely is not the thing aI wanted after all the work I put into it. Still, I at least managed to complete it, at times it felt like I never would.
Well sort of, I'd rather treat this as a wip, as I didn't even bother adding details to finish it off... will probably revisit this sometime.
This 3-year old Mountain Lion was found as a young cub, apparently abandoned and starving to death. Because he imprinted on humans at a young age and never learned the hunting skills necessary to survive in the wild, he is a permanent resident at the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. There was no glass or fencing separating us, and when he looked me in the eye, I felt the small hairs on my neck move. What an amazing creature.
This beautiful Damselfly was taken using my Canon kiss x5 (identical to the 600d) with my Canon 100mm macro lens.
Damselfly (suborder Zygoptera), any of a group of predatory, aerial insects that are in the order Odonata. Damselflies are found mainly near shallow, freshwater habitats and are graceful fliers with slender bodies and long, filmy, net-veined wings. Damselflies are generally smaller, more delicate, and fly weakly in comparison with dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera).
Their colors can be stunningly vivid. Wingspans among the 2,600 damselfly species range from 18 mm (0.71 inch) to about 19 cm (7.5 inches) in Megaloprepus caerulatus, a giant damselfly of tropical Central and South America.
Damselflies can usually be distinguished from dragonflies by their thinner, needlelike abdomens and by the way they hold their wings when at rest.
With few exceptions, damselflies hold their wings vertically and together, rather than horizontally and spread apart.
Also, the four wings are almost identical in size and shape and in the vein patterns. The large eyes of damselflies differ from those of dragonflies in that they are always widely separated, rather than close together or touching each other.
I recently read about a person being killed by a mountain lion in California, so I do understand how dangerous Pumas can be.
But that makes being able to walk near them and photograph them in their habitat all the more special.
You see, the Pumas in Chile have ample food and I was with guides who knew them intimately. I am very fortunate.

Predators and prey comes in all forms of shapes and sizes and that is true for both the avian and insect world. I spotted this male Blue Grosbeak in the marsh and it was very active diving into the bush and coming up with what appears to be a dragon fly ( Not sure). this was definitely it's most favorite perch and all I had to do was wait.
The bane of cats and dogs all over the community.She's opportunistic and stealthy. I don't care much for them. I've had two dogs eaten by them and another attacked.

Early morning photo of a beautiful Cheetah at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park, South Africa!
How lucky can you be when such a beautiful predator walks out in the open along your vehicle (at some distance though) providing ampel time to make some nice photos! The light was just great!

Thanks for visiting, commenting and faving my photos. Its very much appreciated!
This is either a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk, Coopers Hawk or Sharp Shin Hawk. Spotted in the thick brush. Having looked at the article that Leslie referenced in her comment, it may well be a Red Tailed. One of the tests to tell if it's a red tailed vs. other is whether it's beefy or not. Red Tailed tend to be "beefy" and Coopers or Sharp Shinned, not so much. When observing it yesterday, both my wife and I simultaneously said, "that's a big one"
The break between the beginning and the end of the work was huge, but unlike other WIPs, here I found the strength to finish what I started.
As all you know this is type of the falcon's family, in our country called (Gernas) in Arabic (قرناص), and easily to be or become tame and accustom to human. you can see the note on shot where the falcon is tied up by rope and during it's meal the owner catch it!
Sorry for bloody scene, but this is life!!

As I said yesterday Carson and I went adventuring around Lost Lake which can be seen here. Basically its this really nasty lake that's usually green because of algae and is surrounded by 200ft cliffs that we like to play on. Here I'm on a little ledge that drops right off. While exploring in this area we also made friends with a porcupine that we named Josey. He made super cute sounds too!
