  • Mothers Warmth - Snow Monkey Japan

    Mothers Warmth - Snow Monkey Japan The Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) is a monkey species native to northern Japan, and is the most northern-living non-human primate, surviving winter temperatures of below -15 °C. They have brown-gray fur, a red face, hands and bottom, and a short tail - and often seem remarkably human like, as they sit bathing in hot minerals springs.

  • 8-bit Beetle

    8-bit Beetle The color pattern of this Carpet Beetle reminds me of a low-resolution digital print, so i call it a 8-bit beetle ;) The Athrenus species are also called 'museum beetles' because they feed on dead insects. They can ruin a (dead) insect collection. This beetle is alive and after a few minutes it decided to quit modelling and ran away. It is very small (about 3mm long) so I had to use a macro extension tube (2:1). For reference, the plastic plate the beetle is sitting on is 0,7mm thick.

  • Blue tit at work

    Blue tit at work My dogs love to adopt my son's worn out soft toys as their prey. Yesterday, they left one of those out in the garden.

    Little Chameleon for sale This poor poor little chameleon is for sale at the market in Marrakech (Morocco) for around €3.

  • In 3D: almost the largest, but certainly the strongest

    In 3D: almost the largest, but certainly the strongest This kind python can unhook his jaw and swallow a quite sizeable prey. It does not have to bite as the muscles will just flatten the subject first. Only the anaconda matches this snake in length yet the anaconda is thicker. It beats the anaconda in strength. 7 to 9 meters! Wow its as long as a house is high! I only did a headshot of its quite massive head (the size does not show in this picture:)), because of the nice strangely green colours it had, and look at those captivating eyes!
