...can be beautiful. Often they are not. Many of the creatures in this diary are already threatened or endangered. By the end of the century we all may be. It is up to us to save what is left of the wild and beautiful.
All photographs by the author of this diary who retains all copyright. They were all taken in the wild with the exception of the tiger cub photographed at the Honolulu Zoo. Well, the Anna's hummingbird was taken at the feeder in my friends Rick and Debbie's front yard in Chico but if you've seen it you'd know it is pretty wild as well.
And remember...
Honey Badger Don't... Well, You KNOW...
