This built was intended as a gift to my friends, Zoe and Sky, that are responsible for Wild Track.

Their "mission is to protect endangered species using a unique combination of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and traditional ecological knowledge."

They "specialize in footprint identification technology (FIT). Footprints are many times easier to find than the animals themselves, and now that" they "can decode them, they can inform us on where species are, and where their individuals roam."

Zoe's favourite animal is the rhinoceros and since back in July of 2021 I had built the tiny rhinoceros as part of my 3 Companions project, it seemed fit to start with him. So I had the little calf... all I needed was his mother.

Making a bigger animal meant that I would have to study the animal's anatomy... and that's when the questions started to line up... white rhino... black rhino... they are both grey... which one was I trying to build? One of the distinct traces of the tiny rhino I had previously built was the square lip, that is also a characteristic of the white rhino, while the black rhino has a pointed lip. So it was decided, I was building a white rhino. I than tried to incorporate the most of the real animal into my built, such as the hoofs, the muscles of the legs, the hump and curvature of the back.

All this investigation proved to be productive because when I first unveiled the built Sky said: "You know, this is a white rhino!"

That just made my day.

It was a pleasure to build this, not only because I wanted to create an unique gift for Zoe and Sky but also because it was a lot of fun and challenging to incorporate that amount of detail into such a small construction.

Enough talk go and check the wonderful work they do in www.wildtrack.org .

The wild horses on this year's visit were quite rambunctious and curious. My short three days to visit them in this remote northwestern Colorado area was quite full and lots of photos snapped. It brings a great joy to my soul to see these beautiful creatures in the wild being free. It saddens my heart when I think how the US government is very often trying to get rid of as many as possible on our public lands.

My wife and I went for a drive today, and on the way back we spotted three turkeys walking across a golf course. We were on a main road and couldn't stop to take photos, so I drove ahead of them to a parking lot and managed to get a few shots as they went by. Turkeys were re-introduced to our area several years ago, and their numbers have grown significantly in recent years. This young adult is a male (called a "jake") with the chest tassles.

Another shot from my superb trip to Carna. This was taken on the Sunday morning, when we'd been told it was time to finish up---and this otter decided it was time to put in appearance on the rocks nearby. It came up onto the rocks with its catch, which it ate in front of us before doing a quick circuit of the rocks... a perfect end to my trip :)

a beautiful wild flower ,known locally as honesty, when the seed pods are ripe you can peel back the skins to find a lovely transparent leaf which can be used as a dried flower

These are a few of the wild wood violets that have invaded our front and back yards. I believe that this type, white with blue/purple veining, are called "Confederate violets." We also have another type, a rich purple all over, which seem to reach full bloom a little later in the season. I shot this photo on 4/21/2013 using a Canon PowerShot A1000-IS.
