A gusty day at Bempton Cliffs led to this confused little bird pup wondering, “Wait, where’s my nest again?” Classic.

In a now-defunct forest home to cheeky red squirrels, I chased squirrels mid-jump. Most pics were blurry, but this one’s gold: a flying squirrel throwing its arms wide like it's waving the white flag midair - pure surrender!

On a rainy Rwanda day, we found a gorilla family playing in the misty mountains. This young male was showing off his dance moves - pirouetting and kicking like a pro. Total gorilla high-five moment!

A Sri Lankan Elephant playing peek-a-boo using his huge ears as the perfect hiding spot. Sneaky pachyderm!

Caught a grey squirrel with her tail covering her head like she just forgot to dry her hair before stepping outside. Totally relatable "oops" moment - can’t knock the style though!

On a dull day, this duck caught a sudden spotlight and looked like it just checked into vacation mode. Quack, beach, repeat!

These guillemots live in tight quarters and aren’t the best neighbors. Got this shot of one with its head caught in a neighbor’s beak. Sometimes you just wanna bite someone’s head off - literally!

Spotted this porcupinefish with its mouth wide open underwater, like it’s forever shocked and on its way to the dentist. Algae growing inside just adds to its ‘Oh no!’ face. Signed, your friendly neighborhood underwater dentist!

Instructor lemur strikes an epic yoga pose reaching for enlightenment, while student lemur looks like it’s thinking, ‘Is this really worth the effort before breakfast?’ Flexibility optional; drama required.

This Yellow-cheeked Gibbon was chilling in the trees, totally relaxed. My guess? He’s waiting on the park’s fastest beer delivery.

I went looking for eagles but got photobombed by a black woodpecker zooming past like an arrow shot through the sky. Wings tucked in, straight as a dart, pure speed illusion. Lucky shot!

This Amazonian Umbrellabird in Brazil was having a rough patch - looking all bedraggled and unable to fly. Its feather ‘hair’ can spike up or flop forward for laughs. This pose? Definitely a ‘bad hair day.’ Hope it got better!

After tourists left Madagascar’s Nosy Komba, a crowned sifaka struck a pose, licking its hand mid-gesture like it’s in an ad for finger-licking snacks. Nature’s got jokes - and timing!

In chilly Japan, a massive Steller’s Sea Eagle gave a serious ‘Back off!’ glare while guarding its fish from nosy birds. No freebies here, folks!

In a Singapore park, two monitor lizards looked like they were hugging it out, but actually it was an epic slow battle. Spoiler: it ended with a surprise third-party tail whip. Drama in the reptile world!

Found a frog colony living in a borehole on a minesite. They can’t see over the edges, so they just balance on each other’s shoulders. Literally standing tall to see the world!

In the Falklands, I spent a day belly-down in the sand watching 2000 king penguins strutting their stuff. Nearby, sheep followed, making it look like the penguins were leading a parade. Long live the kings!

Caught a pair of huge Steller’s eagles on icy Hokkaido doing what looks like a kung fu tango over a fish. One was kicking, they both lifted wings like they practiced a dance routine. Eagle drama, but make it fancy.

While scuba diving in the Philippines, this tiny bluestriped fangblenny peeked out with a cheeky little smile. It looks friendly but beware: its bite is venomous! Small but mighty and smiling.

Check out this Flame Skimmer Dragonfly flashing a big grin while perched on an Aloe Vera stalk - didn’t even have to travel far, just my backyard supplied all the smiles!

On our honeymoon in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, we stumbled on a troop of baboons turning a tree into their personal circus. One sat still like the ringmaster while the others zipped around him, trying to catch him. Pure monkey mayhem for 15+ minutes!

Spotted a young baboon staring up at an elephant like ‘Oh my, should I run or stay?’ Spoiler: it took the fast exit seconds later.

This Greater One-Horned Rhino went all out on its look - diving underwater and coming up with an aquatic ‘wig’ of plants on its head. Fancy and fabulous all in one.

Out for a chill Everglades road trip, I found this little guy casually stretching on a boardwalk. Didn’t mind the camera squat, gave me full-on sneaky model vibes. Brand new camera? Nailed it!
