Awesome, the bison is my cycling spirit animal. It embodies the grace and speed that I aspire to on the bike. Seriously. :help:

Coyote on a ridge. I took this picture on a hike with my son. We were at Tennessee cove in the Marin Headlands.

Great pictures. The bison pic is a good one but my favorite is the brown bear. The photographer really outdid himself with this one. Just fabulously good.

That's the pic, for me, as well.

Never have I been in more awe of the bear paw.

joosttx: Beautiful pic!

Here are a few of mine from the last field course I ran in Africa. Certainly not at the level of a pro wildlife photographer.

These are some pretty amazing pics! Do you guys have any tips for carrying camera equipment on a bike? I always want to take my old DLSR with me but I can never figure out how to safely fit it onto my bike.

This remains to date one of the most breath-taking cinematography I have ever seen about "nature"...

Love the pics! Mind if I share some of my favorite animal picsI took in the past year?

Just a bug! And he was still hanging around when I woke up the next morning.

Some amazing pics posted, and linked here.

Thanks for sharing!

xjoex, m_sasso: Lovely clicks

And the pic of the snaring lion is very, very chilling...I was almost certain that the photographer was mutilated/deceased; glad to have read in the article that he's unharmed.
