Two young kangaroos sparring at sunset. This is how they learn to fight, first with their mother and then with other young males. As they grow, sparring with other males helps them establish their position within the mob. With experience, the sparring sessions become longer and more intense.
Kangaroos use their sharp claws, strong back legs, and muscular tails —capable of supporting their entire body weight — to deliver powerful kicks that could disembowel a human.
However, these youngsters were only playing and started grooming each other shortly afterward.
The cutest koala ❤️. I was lucky to get this shot as the handsome boy went to sleep directly afterward; koalas sleep most of the time (18 to 20 hours a day) because they need all their energy to digest the poisonous eucalyptus leaves they eat.
Although koalas seem like they would be easy to photograph since they don’t move around much, this is only true if you’re okay with capturing images of sleeping koalas. If you’re hoping to find a more active koala, be prepared for a lot of patience.
A red squirrel from last year. The gardening season has started and I’m mostly out in the garden and not indoors editing photos this time of the year.
This is a crocodile photo I edited for the upcoming World Crocodile Day. I like using these special days to raise awareness about animals and, to be honest, it also makes writing a photo caption easier.
And a squirrel because I love squirrels ❤️ as you know.
