Lesser Tenrecs are very tiny but very agile climbers. They use their toes and claws to grasp and can climb down a tree trunk often head first.
This is Madge, who is mum to Banksy, Bubba and Boo. She currently lives with her daughter, Bubba and is my largest Lesser Tenrec at just over 200g. Over torpor, she lost weight, about 50g but she is still agile and likes to climb, such as this Broom here. Some of you will remember Madge from when she was photographed opening a miniature teapot. Her image was a big hit!
It's Spring and all my six wonderful Lesser Tenrecs are now awake from torpor. They are healthy, lively and hungry!! I took a few images earlier today of 3 of my 6. This is Azizi (top) and Boo. I have so missed them!!
Taken indoors using natural light.
Just clambering up his tree, not a care in the world... Clearly not used to climbing though as he kept looking down!!

Lumberjack removing a dead pine tree from my neighbors yard. I think it was killed by southern pine beetles. They've had to have several dead pine trees removed because the beetles destroyed them.
....this tree in our local park is ancient and grows huge branches in all directions. The park is is called the Volksgarten ( people's garden) and is almost two hundred years old. In 1987 it was part of the national garden show in Germany 'Die Bundesgartenschau'.
Callospermophilus lateralis est une espèce d'écureuil qui vit dans les forêts d'Amérique du Nord. Il fait partie des rongeurs de la famille des Sciuridés. Certains auteurs le classent dans le sous-genre Callospermophilus. En français, cette espèce est appelée Spermophile à manteau doré ou Écureuil terrestre à manteau doré et Spermophile à mante dorée ou Spermophile à mante rayée au Canada.
Ce spermophile de 23 à 30 cm de long possède une tête et des épaules de couleur dorée, légèrement cuivrée. Le corps est plus sombre et présente sur chaque flanc une bande blanche bordée de noir. Le ventre est presque blanc, de même que la fine ligne encerclant les yeux.
Il ressemble beaucoup à Spermophilus saturatus, l'autre espèce de spermophile rayé, mais la rayure latérale de S. saturatus est plus atténuée sur les épaules et sont ventre est plus roux.
On ne doit pas le confondre avec les tamias qui sont plus petits, moins massifs, et possèdent en supplément des rayures au niveau de la tête.

We have been lucky enough to be able to watch a momma bear and her 3 cubs roaming the mountain woodlands near our cabin. Usually we see them via remote trail cam, but during a visit last week we saw them on 2 occasions, for about 30 minutes each.
Momma was fully aware of our presence, but we stayed well back, and got our photos via zoom lens.
This was captured during tree climbing lessons for the cubs. The 3rd cub is out of sight over the hillside... never very far from mom.

This is one of three young raccoons that had napped in a tree. They took time to groom and stretch before making a descent to the ground then made their way across a trail into the tall grasses. It appeared that they were gone when suddenly this little cutie turned around and began climbing up this tree.

Thank you and warm regards, Jane
What a beauty of day I have had and it's not even over yet :)
Early dart to Castleton and a lovely walk up Cave Dale and back. The kids spotted this tree half way and had to have a climb. I love how the bottom half of the image is kind of normal and the top descends into abstract chaos. I may be back here after dark but I'll need fueling up beforehand as it's quite a climb with a camera bag full of gear.
Once they'd finished climbing we headed back down the hill for a mooch round the local shops and a sublime lunch. Happy days indeed :)

A black bear cub climbs a tree in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The cub climbs trees as easily as I step over to my refrigerator for food. So I'm not sure why this energetic and playful bear cub is resting on a tree branch. Maybe a little too much play.
This is the most common woodcreeper in Belize. To give you an idea of size, he's about 9 inches long. I think this shot shows his treeclimbing tendencies very well!
If you're interested in traveling to Belize, please take a look at my Belize entry on my birding, bird photography, and bird travel blog, The Speckled Hatchback!

Little Raccoon on a tree. I saw these guys at a park in DeSoto WI, while walking around while the ol' boys were fishing.
We saw a lot LOT of wildlife that day.
Herons, Sandhill Cranes, Deer, Mature Eages, Young Eagles, muskrats, and Pelicans.
Next time, I may just have to take my 100-400mm lens!f
While walking on a local trail to photograph some recently spotted baby owls, I came face to face with this little critter. A fox squirrel balanced nimbly among delicate blossoms on a flowering branch, perfectly framed by spring foliage and filtered light.
I never thought of tree climbing as important to birds before, but while shooting this young Great Blue Heron climbing from branch to branch of the dead tree I realized this is something they quite often do. One might think they could just fly up, but maybe that require too much energy.
Or maybe they are just like kids and enjoy climbing? I know I did!
That includes editing this.
Ignore the mistakes.
Please.
I actually took this photo a while ago, and wasn't confident enough with my editing skills to do anything with it, but after taking a second shot at it, I feel better about it.
Ha! Look at that werido!

Xiao Qi Ji starts to shimmy down a tree trunk at the National Zoo in Washington DC. Headed back for some more cake?
Leopard (Panthera pardus) climbing high in an acacia tree where it has a tremendous advantage to spot potential prey. Image taken in the Serengeti of Tanzania.
Me: yawwwwnnn What are we doing out here, Ten?
Ten: I am going to climb this tree, see?
Me: Did you have to do it so early?
Ten: Quinn says that the aliens sleep in on weekends, so this is the safest time to do it.
Me:....you know that Quinn is pretty NUTS, right?
Ten: Oh. She is? Well, can you watch me climb the tree please? Please?
Me: LOL, okay. Go for it!
His commitment to putting animals at ease with him has meant that he’s needed to go to some extremes: “I once had a project with badgers that meant I needed to get rid of my ‘human’ scent. Before I set off, I went to a farm for the day and I lay around in the mud to lose my smell so I could get closer to the animals and earn their trust.”- Konsta Punkka
