I was looking forward to this backdrop to photograph penguins, seals, and whales, but I had only cursory knowledge about these animals ..read more

Across the globe there is a tendency for people to view snakes in a negative light, a fear born of unfamiliarity. It is difficult to imagine a scenario where snakes are protected from threats, like habitat loss and persecution, without countering innate anti-snake bias. As we learn about snakes, we can present them in more relatable ways. Questions concerning snakes are bountiful everywhere ..read more

 By Sean Graham              The sun was going down so I hustled back up the trail to avoid hiking out at night. Walls of yellowish-pink igneous rock stood vertical on either side of the trail, thickets of shrubby vegetation lined the arroyo leading up a couple of miles to Casa Grande, the picturesque mesa of Big Bend National Park. I passed an older man heading back up the trail, and he said ..read more

Part I and II. A young Panamint Rattlesnake (Crotalus stephensi). At a distance the old mining route unfurls above us like an M.C. Escher painting; all drops and climbs and precariously tilts to the side. There is no ledge and you can imagine sliding off into oblivion. I check the map. The potential salamander habitat Matt had located on Google Earth will require four miles of that, to be ..read more
