The IUCN is known for it's Red List of endangeroed species, but more recently it has developed a Green List...
Kabini is one of my favourite wildlife destinations, and a location I have visited many times. It always has something to offer, but for me, the monsoon is a fantastic and highly underrated time to visit... the vibrant colours and greens are sensational! It is harder to spot the big game, but when you do, wow... the pics pop!
Loosing photos is extremely unpleasant, and I am somewhat paranoid about it. Particularly as time goes on and I generate more and more photos, and more and more memories I do not want to loose.

Before endeavouring to photograph a new (or any) subject, it is important to limit any risk to you or to stress the subject. The following questions are designed to help in this situation, so great images can be created and no harm done. Dr Vicki Fishlock gives her expert advice on elephants! :)
Knowing your subject is pivotal to meaningful wildlife photography. It makes the differences between a pretty picture and significant image. So, who better to ask about a subject than an expert.
Here I interview Dr Vicki Fishlock of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants (ATE) about her research and love for the big-eared, long nosed soap opera stars of her life! :)
The Ranganthittu bird sanctuary is a cluster of islands and one large island in a crocodile infested part of the Kaveri river. It is because of the lurking danger of the crocodiles that the birds thrive, as they are the guardians of the island which is so precious for the birds to nest on. The treat of the crocodiles is far less than the threat of the other predators that the crocodiles scare off (eat). Symbioses.
We have long known that some frogs are poisonous, excreting toxins from their skin to deter preditors from snacking on them. However, two are now considered venomous!
Jared et al. (2015) describe two Brazilian frogs, Greening's frog (Corythomantis greeningi) and Bruno's casque-headed frog (Aparasphenodon brunoi), that don't only produce toxins, but also have spikes...
