  • Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla Beringei) also known as Silverback (adult male mountain gorillas are called Silverbacks because of the silver saddle of hair on their backs) live in forests high in the mountains. They live in groups and each gorilla family has a silverback as leader who scares away other animals. Gorillas are herbivores, and eat only plants. They spend most of their day foraging for food.<br />
Since the discovery of the mountain gorilla subspecies in 1902, its population has endured years of war, hunting, habitat destruction and disease. With conservation efforts, the population is increasing but the specie is still classified endangered on the IUCN red list.

  • Everything came together at that moment and to me it represents what it means to be a wildlife photographer, getting out and being in the right place at the right time and having the knowledge and experience to capture that moment. The cattle egrets were following this southern white rhino as it grazed, looking for bugs to eat that are disturbed by the rhino walking. At this moment several flew in toward the back of the rhino and I love how it looks like it could be one egret in different stages of flight, but it’s actually three separate birds approaching. A beautiful moment topped off with a gorgeous moody sky as well.
