Look at that nose!!! 😍 To get a photograph of these mammals is not easy at all... Round-eared Elephant Shrews inhabit the more arid regions of the South, Western and Northern Cape. They forage on insects as well as roots and tubers - and they have been documented feeding on fallen berries as well. They are solitary animals, believed to be monogamous. They live in burrows that they expropriate from other rodents, reuse or dig themselves. Macroscelides proboscideus, somewhere dry, Western Cape, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #ecoexploration #mammal #mammals #mammalsofinstagram #shrew #shrews #shrewsofinstagram #elephantshrew #Macroscelidesproboscideus #nature #wildlife #arid #cute #longnose (at South Africa)

Puff Adder ! ! ! It is always awesome to see these heavily built, bulky snakes in their natural habitat. They always look so menacing... This species is very common throughout South Africa. They are slow moving, well camouflaged ambush hunters... and they are very seldomly seen in their natural habitat. This species is of medical significance. Bites should be considered as life threatening and immediate medical attention is advisable. Bitis arietans, Overberg, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #snake #snakes #snakesofinstagram #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #adder #puffadder #bitis #bitisarietans #venomous #southafrica #wildlife #nature (at Overberg)

The Knysna Leaf-folding Frogs are dainty endangered amphibians. As the name suggests, this species folds a leaf (grass or reed) and deposits its eggs in the 'leaf pocket'. When the eggs hatch the tadpoles slip out of the egg mass and drops into the water, where it develops to maturity. We were very fortunate to find this gorgeous Afrixalus knysnae outside of Wilderness on the Garden Route, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #support #surveys #ecoexploration #frog #frogs #frogsofinstagram #amphibian #amphibians #amphibiansofinstagram #afrixalusknysnae #leaffoldingfrogs #southafrica #endemic #endangered #nature #wildlife (at Garden Route)

Look at that short tail! South African Pouched Mouse is a terrestrial species which will reclaim burrows that have been vacated by other species, or dig new ones. They will block up this burtow from the inside during the day, and have also been recorded blocking up the burrow entrance when they go out foraging to prevent theft of their food storage or predation. They are called pouched mouse for the two pouches that extends from their shoulders to the corners of their mouths. They use these pouches to carry seeds and nuts back to their burrows where they hoard them in a special chamber. One of their biggest predators are Barn Owls. If there is one thing they cannot do, it is to sit still for a photo shoot... out of about 200 photos, only one is useable! Saccostomus campestris, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, Western Cape. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #ecoexploration #iamnikon #nikon #nikonsa #pouchedmouse #mouse #mice #miceofinstagram #mammals #mammalsofinstagram #animals #saccostomuscampestris #nature #wildlife #southafrica #arid (at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve)

This is such a charismatic species... and they are super docile. Opistacanthus capensis is a large scorpion species, getting up to 90mm in length, and they are nocturnal. They are found in a variety of habitats and are not uncommon in towns and homes. They really are a very calm and docile species and stings are rare.

Great White Sharks are spectacular animals! This species is found along coastal surface waters of all of our major oceans. In South Africa the highest density of Carcharodon carcharias is found around Dyer Island, Gansbaai. The ever growing colony of Cape Fur Seals on Geyser Rock offers the Great Whites a great hunting area - which in turn affords scientists from all over the world an opportunity to study this species. Great Whites are a migratory species, individuals that visit the Gansbaai coastline regularly have been recorded in Mozambique and as far as Australia! This charismatic animal was photographed on board of Marine Dynamics boat, Slashfin, which conduct Great White Shark cage diving and viewing out of Kleinbaai, Overberg, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #ecoexploration #nature #wildlife #sharks #elasmobranch #greatwhiteshark #shark #whiteshark #fish #cagediving #diving #ocean #sealife #wildlife (at Marine Dynamics)
