Marty’s photo of the day #3251: This is a Cape buffalo, photographed in Zimbabwe. From my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents: Brian carried a high-powered rifle as a defense against animal attacks. He paused to warn us about animals that could force him to use it: “Contrary to what you […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3249: From my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents: Even though we were hundreds of miles away from any significant landmass, our Drake Passage voyage was never boring.

In fact, I even believe that the vast majority of the time it’s the women who are telling the truth, not the men. That said, there are times […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3240: In this photo, my wife, Deb, is feeding Bonnie, a silver wallaroo. Bonnie was in her mother’s pouch, when the two were hit by a car. The mother didn’t survive, but Bonnie was rescued and eventually released back into the wild. (Photographed in Queensland, Australia)
Marty’s photo of the day #3239: This is how right-wingers saw themselves when they did their cosplay stunt at the Michigan Capitol on Thursday. Oh, wait! Wrong photo.
