      Thank you... I'm honored! I was actually a little intimidated by the quality of some of the photos here.
      There are some amazing photographers out there!!       Posted 14 years ago

    Wow! What a great capture! They were a lot more animated than the group I came across.
    There were around a dozen of them in small pile of rocks, in Teton National Park, WY
    They were very willing subjects as long as I didn't get any closer than 6 feet or so.     Posted 14 years ago, modified 14 years ago

      Just for clarity, if you were refering to the video, it was not made by me. In the comment field you can simply paste any Youtube video URL and it will transform into a video player :) You can do this for JungleDragon photos and other things as well. Check the little help text below the "Save comment" button to learn more.

      The idea of these "smart URLs" is to enrich photos. This way people can not only see the photo, but perhaps also see the animal move or hear it. It's entirely optional, just a cool powertip I wanted to share :)       Posted 14 years ago
