  1. Please Wait To Be Seated 🪑

    This hole-in-the-wall tiny Japanese restaurant called Katzu-Hama in NYC had the most delicious Katzu Curry and Katzudon

  2. Nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) are one of the few antelope species where males and females look dramatically different from each other. Males are dark brown or black with vertical white stripes and a shaggy mane, while females are reddish-brown and lack the stripes, making them appear to be entirely different species.

  3. The Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) is the largest tapir species and the only one found outside the Americas, weighing up to 320 kg, yet despite its size it remains poorly understood due to its nocturnal nature and solitary forest lifestyle, with fewer than 2,500 individuals surviving in the wild.

  4. The white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) is one of the few primates that exhibits sexual dichromatism, meaning males and females have different fur colors. Males are typically black with white cheek patches, while females are golden or buff-colored with a dark face ring.

  5. The white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) is one of the fastest brachiators among primates, capable of swinging through the trees at speeds up to 30–35 km/h (18–22 mph).

  6. Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) possess an extraordinary sensory ability called seismic communication, detecting vibrations through their feet from other elephants located up to 20 miles away.

  7. Przewalski's horses (Equus przewalskii) nearly went completely extinct in the wild by the 1960s but was saved through an international captive breeding program and has since been successfully reintroduced to the Mongolian steppes.

  8. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) possess seven cervical vertebrae, identical in count to humans, but each vertebra is elongated to roughly 25–30 cm, with adjoining ball-and-socket articulations enabling the extensive range of motion required to offset this increased segmental length.

  9. Almost four years old already, how did that happen? My beautiful daughter gave my life a whole new meaning, and she means absolutely everything to me. I’m usually very private and restrictive about posting her photos, but she really wanted this one shared (in her own toddler way of insisting), and it’s sweet and indirect enough that I couldn’t say no. Here she is, completely lost in the moment with her favorite zoo animal 🦒.

    Tuna is obviously the star in Zahara fishmongers. This little shop in the local market had these big red tuna pieces and while I was trying to take a picture this woman appeared and got interested in buying the piece… I slightly changed the subject of my picture :-P.

    Some street photo vibes at the local market in Zahara de los Atunes, a beautiful little village by the sea, close to Cadiz.

  12. Elephant shrews (Macroscelididae), also called sengis, are more closely related to elephants than to true shrews. Despite weighing as little as 25 grams, the smallest species can run at speeds comparable to a much larger animal relative to its body size.

  13. The red-and-green macaw (Ara chloropterus) has a bite strong enough to crack open tough palm nuts and seeds; large macaws bite strength are commonly estimated at around 400–700 psi, well beyond a human’s roughly 150 psi bite.

  14. The red-and-green macaw (Ara chloropterus) has bare, featherless patches on its face lined with tiny rows of red feathers that form a unique pattern in every individual, much like a fingerprint.

    Loved the shadows created by sun in the sand, and the bird footprints as it walked through the beach.

  16. Monarch caterpillars (Danaus plexippus) feed exclusively on milkweed, storing its toxic compounds in their bodies; a defense they retain into adulthood, making the adult butterflies poisonous to most predators.

  17. Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) undertake a multi-generational migration of up to 3,000 miles between North America and Mexico, yet no single butterfly completes the round trip, as it’s actually their great-grandchildren that return north each spring.

  18. Malachite butterflies (Siproeta stelenes) have wings that mimic dead leaves when at rest, helping them avoid predators despite their otherwise vivid green and black coloring.

  19. Sailfin lizards (Hydrosaurus) can run upright across the surface of water on their hind legs to escape predators, using their long toes and flattened tail fin for support.
