Non-pet animal photos and videos

[Ninjoma]

Anyone take a bunch of photos and vidoes of animals, but not know where to share them? Well I do, so I'm starting this thread. I would love to see everyone else's non-pet animal photos too.

Here are some pics I’ve taken around me here in Mississippi.

@Root Thanks for sharing! I love those butterflies, the toad and the baby/dwarf crayfish so much. What is that big yellow thing in the water?

[Root]

That would be an alligator

This is a fabulous thread. Thank you for starting it. I love nature. 
 

@Root I hope those gators were through some long range lenses. Getting that close would spook me. 
On my way to a Virgin Islands cruise years ago we left out of Florida. We went a few days early to meander about in FL. There was a Boat tour around the area to see gators. My heart thudded everytime the airboat came close. The get BIG 😲

Yes and no lol. The one in the top picture was taken from a pier, but sadly the locals feed him which makes him more of a danger. The rest around here have their ponds and stay lazy. Lol

I tricked you. The last one is made out of legos, lol

@Chick-In-Of-TheSeaThose are some cute snails. I may need to get some for my paludarium.

There are like 50 attached to my house. They just chill on the concrete block.

It actually fell off the wood platform into the water after that.

Swallowtail in my garden

Often heard but rarely seen spring peeper. I was picking wild raspberries in a large forest patch, and this lil' dude moved and caught my eye. I suspect he was there for the insects drawn to the over-ripe berries.

Swiss alpine wildlife : bug and marmotte

Baby deer! 

[Tanked]

I thought I would start with a few from the local parks.  I'm shooting from a kayak with a cell phone or older digital camera, so If I can get one reasonably decent shot I'm happy!

[Ninjoma]

Got some photos of baby deer and mama deer. Also some phootage of baby deer.

A rogue rabbit in my terrarium:

I live in an urban area and some of the neighbors have allowed their yards to return to nature.  I'm ok with that.  When the feeders are full, my yard look like an airport.  Even the rabbits have returned, but they are camera shy.
