Travel photography from around the world.
Sleek and simple, the Puku is one of the classiest looking antelopes of Africa.
It’s home range is the grassy marsh areas of Namibia, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This male was spotted in some dry grass in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.
The Puku is listed as a near-threatened species.
Antarctica is among the most vivid travel memories I have. The immensity of everything there and the total isolation make it a scary, yet alluring place to visit.
One place I visited in Antarctica was Crystal Sound. This sound had some of the most interesting looking ice formations and icebergs on the entire trip, it also had some friendly-looking Weddell Seals hanging about.
These seals live further south than any other seal in the world, being totally at home in the cold, icy waters of Antarctica.
These shorebirds call Central and North America home, but can also been seen in parts of South America, and the Galapagos Islands.
They’re famous for their ability to pry open mollusks with their long, heavy and powerful beaks.
This American Oystercatcher was spotted taking a nap at Punta Suarez on Espanola Island in the Galapagos Islands.
At first glance you might wonder if this is a squirrel or chipmunk, but despite it’s odd squirrel behaviour, the Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is, as the name implies, not a chipmunk.
These little ground squirrels do act very much like a chipmunk however. They’re known to store a stash of food in their burrows to eat when they wake up after hibernating for winter, something more common to chipmunks. They also have a striped back, which confuses many people into thinking they must be a chipmunk.
The best way to tell this is a Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is to notice that the stripes on the back do not appear on the cheeks and face of the animal. Chipmunks, on the other hand, will commonly have their stripes extend up to their eyes, nose and cheeks.
This Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel was photographed in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.
The impressive Green Iguana is one of the most popular lizards in the Americas.
Native to Central America and the northern part of South America, this lizard can grow as large as 1.5m! Brightly coloured and docile in nature, Green Iguanas, also called Common Iguanas, have become a popular pet in North America.
Unfortunately they’re not as easy to care for as many believe, as they require a special diet, consistent sun and high temperatures. This Green Iguana was photographed in it’s natural habitat in Honduras.
