This was a juvenile black bear who stood on hind legs to take in his surrounds. Taken enroute from Jasper to Maligne Lake, in the Canadian Rockies.

A portrait of one of the awesome lowland gorillas taken at Port Lympne reserve in Kent, England.

I set out to take a shot of the Illawarra Flame Trees in Jamberoo, NSW, but quickly swapped out the lens for a telefoto to photograph this rainbow lorikeet who was having a field day amongst the red flowers. The Illawarra Flame Tree is a local icon of my old hood and can be found on the south east coast of New South Wales, Australia.

I think the Australian Rugby team could take a thing or two from the steely stare I observed in this Tasmanian Pademelon. This diminutive wallaby and I had a stare off for about 10 minutes as I positioned for the optimal frame. Taken on the Nut (aka Circular Head) in quaint Stanley, north west Tasmania.

This Maldivian fruit bat is poised to take off in search of more food.

The stunning Sumatran tiger, sadly a critically endangered species with a few hundred left in the wild in Sumatra, Indonesia. Thankfully this guy is doing well at Symbio Wildlife Park in Helensburgh, NSW Australia. 

A humpback whale relaxes in the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean off the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. This is an Eastern Humpback whale and was one of 3 that we had the privilege of seeing. They were incredibly inquisitive and swam up to the boat a number of times. These guys are completing their migration north up the east coast and will soon be heading south again. The beach in the background is South Stradbroke Island.
