my favorite place on earth - at the convergence of 5 ocean currents, under an endless constellation of wildlife. don't you just love this fragile beautiful planet of ours? #naturepicoftheday #discovernature #discovernaturephotos #wildernessexplorer
almost forgot that this was the whole point... just peacefully co-existing in our precious little corner of the universe. featuring can opener (one of the sweetest whales in the world) and my friend jessica, a free diver who loves wildlife and the o
a sperm whale and her gigantic remora friend. they share a mutualistic relationship - where the whale provides safety, food, and transport while the remora removes parasites and keeps its large friend feeling fresh and clean. sounds like a pretty goo

mama and baby humpback whales under the cathedral lighting of south pacific waters. these two were so curious and playful, they came by to interact with us over and over again for an entire morning. it was such a rare and special day on the water #n
i'll admit i cried when i saw them - a mama and baby black rhino. they're one of the most critically endangered species in the world and it was always a dream of mine to see one in the wild, especially since illegal poaching has crushed their populat
