I will never forget this moment for as long as I live. For years I've dreamed of getting a chance to photograph a moose... I was finally blessed with an opportunity: a cow and her calf wading in a shimmering Montana lake in Glacier NP with an epic backdrop. A living painting.

Incredible Eastern diamondback specimen! America's largest pit viper and for good reason.

In A New Voyage to Carolina (1709), John Lawson listed the "Tyger" apart from the panther. He saw one in the Carolina backcountry describing it as larger than a panther, "a very bold Creature." His guide fired at it from long range. It sat and stared back. Lawson said tigers nd the mountains. What the animal was, nobody knows. Today, jaguars are slipping back across the US border. Five individuals in Arizona since 2011!

Way too cool not to share. IMAX just released their custom opener for Godzilla Minus Zero. Such an awesome countdown!

Had a young college student approach me via DM from FIU to interview me about a project he's working on about the American crocodile and my work regarding the "King of the Everglades" docuseries I started last year. Apparently he's been a long time fan and I was so humbled and unity. My video interview will also now forever be catalogued in FIU's United States Environmental Oral History library! Giving back like this for future generations to reference to makes this all so fulfilling to me. Hopeful we can inspire more adventure loving conservationists!

This shot of Godzilla and when his theme played was PEAK. Go see Godzilla Minus Zero in IMAX for the best possible viewing experience. Hats off to director Takashi Yamazaki for an incredible sequel.

And we're off! First NASCAR race I've been to since my folks used to take us when we were kids.

Chinook delivering the pace car today for the Miami-Homestead NASCAR Cup Championship.

Kinda lame that they're leaning into AI to generate an ad for Starlink when myself and many others could have easily shot a real cinematic ad out in the field... What better way to advertise Starlink than paddling out into the Everglades or hiking out to camp in bear country with it?

Took me a couple hours this morning but I always get my otters.

How bad is the parking at Glacier National Park's Logan Pass Visitor Center?

This bad:

Thank you for supporting my work! Every dime helps and goes right back into the craft and non-profit fieldwork.

Bighorn-maxxing. Similar to mountain goats, bighorn hooves have hard outer edges for gripping rock edges and soft concave pads underneath that create suction on smooth surfaces. They can navigate near-vertical terrain at a full run. Love these guys so much!

It's Friday let's jam 🦫

NON-SPOILER GODZILLA MINUS ZERO REVIEW

Stellar sequel. It's refreshing to see a follow up that successfully builds off its predecessor and still manages to reach new heights. If you enjoyed the first, you'll love this one! Another masterful film with a great cast of characters e intensity is dialed up considerably from the moment the film opens up. Even came away with a movie theater gift from this week's premiere but I'll share it later since it does spoil the movie. I certify this one BLOCKBUSTER CINEMA.

My most anticipated film of the year. Now seated for Godzilla Minus Zero in IMAX!

I learned today that javelinas are incredibly intelligent and will mourn the loss of their kin. Sad but true.

Everybody's talking about red vs. blue, but Florida quietly had a great election night for otters and other wildlife!

Seven counties voted to fund conservation, about $1.2 billion total:

🌊 Brevard: renewed the Save Our Indian River Lagoon tax

🐢 Sarasota: kept its lands 049, with 84% voting yes

🌲 St. Johns: $100M to buy wild land

🐄 Manatee: $75M for water quality, preserves, and protects working farms and ranches

🦅 Charlotte: $70M for sensitive habitat and drinking water

🥾 Marion: parks, trails, and conservation

💧 Santa Rosa: protections for clean water, natural lands, and farms

Every measure passed with at least 73%, and all seven also went red for governor.

What wild place in Florida should be protected next?

WE DID IT 📽️

15 vertical videos for 15 days (it was more like 19 videos over 17 days). And with 9 days to spare! I have a couple more vertical videos queued up just in case but it looks like I've fulfilled my Video Kickstart Bonus requirements for X!

I'll more than likely sions of the videos I made only because I'm really not a fan of vertical video content at all. You lose so much picture especially in terms of wildlife content. Thanks to all for the support! Hopeful to get the full payout bonus and will use it for our potential January Yellowstone trip fund.
