This elegant juvenile pit viper was on a low plant beside the walking trail in the jungle at Bako in Sarawak. It was almost defying gravity, seeming to float. I was entranced by it…but did not get closer than 1.5 meters just in case….they do bite. Have a fabulous weekend

HFF. Stumbled across this gorgeous boy sitting on a fence in a National Park in Sabah, Borneo. I love the crazy appearance of proboscis monkeys. Have a lovely Friday and a fantastic weekend. Stay safe and healthy too…xxxx

A wild black swan asleep on her nest. In a National Park. I walked quietly near her and she was quite unconcerned. Her beak was buried in her feathers. She merely blinked an eye at me!

This large, glossy black cockatoo has striking red (male) and orange-red(female) tail feathers. This is a female...with yellow spots on her face. They live in many parts of Australia...this is in Central Australia.

Brazil, in the wild.a beautiful little animal, and a sad reminder of the one billion animals which have been incinerated in our cataclysmic Australian fires. At least 50, 000 koalas, plus sheep, kangaroos, cattle, parrots, echidnas, wombats, various species of birds, horses, repltiles...heartbreaking. And still burning. Apart from the immediate destruction, most of the south east of Australia is thick with choking smoke, a giant plume of which has blanketed New Zealand, and has travelled across the Pacific to choke residents of Chile and Argentina.

Madagascar’s apex predator, the fossa (cryptoproctor ferox ) Not a cat, not a dog...in its unique species, as with most of the fauna of this island. It climbs very well and mostly hunts lemurs as its prey. Very lucky to see this animal in the wild....at Kirindy

Rufous tailed tanager. Pantanal. Brazil.

In natural environment. Dominant male proboscis monkey. Bako National Park, Sarawak. Malaysia. I find these animals totally fascinating...they look like a patchwork assemblage of various other animal parts....or like stout gents in waistcoats with big boozy noses!

Uninvited wild guest at our Christmas lunch BBQ. Our wild parrots can be very bold and unafraid...watching the food intently....

Merry Christmas to all from the Land Down Under....Diana A Euro (type of kangaroo, not currency)...in its natural habitat...in the desert of Australia.
