Wildlife Photos

Having worked in the American southwest for 8 years, I've come across a lot of cool wildlife while out on the hunt for extinct animals. I rarely carry nice cameras into the field, but phone cameras and some patience have yielded some awesome photos. All of these are listed on my iNaturalist page as well (in their original resolution) and are free to use with appropriate credit given. Most of the photos are of herps because I like them the most and they like me the most, but there is a smattering of other animals mixed in.
