Sulawesi Tarsier or Spectral Tarsier is endemic to Sulawesi and this would definitely remain as a memorable sighting Spectral Tarsiers are the smallest primates in the world – only about a fist size – who make Tangkoko their last refuge and are found only in Sulawesi. Compared to their small bodies, tarsiers have very long slender hands, feet, and digits. Their hands are thought to be the longest of any living primate in relation to their body size. They are also immensely athletic and can jump 40 times the length of their body. . .

Scaly-breasted Kingfisher (female) Usually dry season in North Sulawesi is June-October. I ended up visiting in early March… so you can imagine the number of times I got drenched in the rainforest. Low light, protecting equipments from rain, loads of walking as wildlife was scattered due to abundance of food and water supply across the forest, ton of insect bites although luckily no leeches there…. were some of the challenges during offseason photography. But you know what, tropical rain forests have a different beauty during monsoon. It’s wildlife photography and unique experience at end of the day, isn’t it? . .

In the jungle, you will most certainly not be blessed with a lot of time to capture wildlife at leisure. Sometimes, little seconds of luck need to captured! And that’s what I love about wildlife photography. It’s not just how good you know the books.

Sable Antelope… this is a very special one! Such a beautiful Antelope. After a failed long search via safari vehicle, we could find one resting Sable from the helicopter. Happy moment! . .

Eland, Africa’s biggest antelope. Although widespread it’s an extremely shy animal and sightings are never easy. It is also one of the most frequently painted and engraved animals in rock art. . .

STORY TIME! Grab your 🍿 As everyone was wrapping up lunch and packing away their gear, I was already set, my own camera packed and my mind fixed on the journey ahead to San Jose. That’s when @laurent_nam call pierced the calm — an urgency in his voice that I couldn’t ignore. He had found something spectacular, something that demanded I unpack my camera one more time. There I was, rummaging through my bag, hastily reassembling my kit. My cygnustech diffuser was slapped onto my Speedlight in record time, and with my 90mm lens attached to my OM1 Mark II, I was once again combat-ready. Laurent was making his way to me, and with the understanding that the patience of insects doesn’t match that of humans, I moved to intercept him. And there it was, the most colorful and metallic bug I’d ever seen. This weevil was nothing short of extraordinary, a living jewel among the green. Laurent, struggling to keep the little critter steady for a photo, passed the twig to me. Then the real struggle began — a delicate dance of focus and stability, as I tried to capture its image. The weevil was relentless, a tiny celebrity in its own right, refusing to stay still for the camera. I maneuvered with twig in one hand and camera in the other, keeping up a chase that felt like a mini epic, each movement a test of patience and skill. No chance for the focus stacking I had in mind, just a fleeting opportunity to snapshot this encounter. The shot I got was not the stacked perfection I aimed for, but it was real and it was alive with the weevil’s energy. Seconds later, it took flight, a tiny spark of color against the vast Costa Rican sky, and that was it. Goodbye, you beautiful, restless creature. You were the final act of an amazing journey, and what a memorable act you were. #costaricanature #weevilwednesday #insectlover #weevil #biodiversity #natgeoyourshot #natureupclose #puravida #wildlifeplanet #jewelofnature #entomology #iridescent #buglife #storytelling #wildlifestorytelling #storyteller ————————————————- OM-1 Mark II M.zuiko 90mm Godox V860III Cygnustech macro diffuser Single shot ————————————————- ©️ Dara Ojo [D O] 👨🏾🦱
Critically Endangered White-backed Vulture. Do check the height comparison between White-Backed Vulture and Secretary bird. It was an unique opportunity to see them together in same frame. . .

Let’s give a shoutout to the skilled and dedicated snow leopard spotters! Spotting these elusive creatures is no easy task. Known as the „ghosts of the mountains,” they blend seamlessly into their rocky, snowy surroundings. It requires hours of vigilant scanning, often yielding no results. Understanding their behaviour is key – they tend to roam mountain ridges at dawn and dusk, seeking prey, and lounge in sunny spots during the day. We had the privilege of meeting and interviewing over five snow leopard spotters in Ladakh, ranging from beginners to seasoned experts. Their insights have been invaluable. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping others experience the magic of these magnificent creatures! #SnowLeopardSpotters #WildlifeConservation #SnowLeopardTourism #SnowLeopardConservation #ImmersiveDocumentaries #WildlifeStorytelling #LadakhAdventure #NatureAppreciation 🐾🏔️
Kori Bustard, the largest and heaviest flying bird in the world. It is the national bird of Botswana, so what better country could I get my first and superb sighting. . .
