Fluffy Coyotes
Marty’s photo of the day #4554: This is a motion-sensing camera shot of a coyote crossing the Essen Wildlife Refuge (in Montana). Both coyotes and wolves cross the refuge, and as winter approaches the coyotes are all fluffy, inducing double-takes to make sure they aren’t actually wolves.
The Iceberg Graveyard
Marty’s photo of the day #4552: I shot this photo while working on my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. You are looking at a scene in the Iceberg Graveyard—a special place where icebergs get trapped along the coast of Antarctica.
Back to safety
Marty’s photo of the day #4551: I photographed these baby orangutans while hiking alone at night on the island of Borneo. They’d been rescued from some shitty thing humans did and then escaped the good humans who would eventually release them into the wild. I made sure they reached safety.
It’s Time!
Marty’s photo of the day #4550: It’s three-forty. Time for me to hold the baby silver wallaroo! Photographed in Australia.
Here’s Proof
Marty’s photo of the day #4549: In my book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer, I write about a hippo biting through Deb’s and my canoe, throwing us onshore, and us laughing about it afterward. For the critic who doubted we actually laughed—here’s proof.
From My Iceberg Collection
Marty’s photo of the day #4548: Here’s another in my collection of iceberg photos I shot 20-some years ago, while traveling for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. This one is off the coast of Antarctica, and yes, it really was that blue.
In for the close-up
Marty’s photo of the day #4548: In my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, I wrote about Antarctica, and the strict rules we had about not approaching any animal closer than 15 feet. The animals, however, could approach as close as they wanted to.
Every dog needs . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4547: During these trying times, every dog needs a cuddly bear. Except, of course, those who enjoy sniffing the butt of the rabid dog with orange fur.
Forgetting all but the moose
Marty’s photo of the day #4546: Living in red-state Montana can be frustrating, but moments like this, at the Essen Wildlife Refuge*, make me forget that I’m surrounded by people who voted for bigotry, hate, and lunacy. *The 25 acres surrounding my house that I protect for wildlife.

Shrub Trimmer
Marty’s photo of the day #4542: At the Essen Wildlife Refuge, we get the shrubs trimmed around our house for free.
The little things
Marty’s photo of the day #4541: Even in Zimbabwe, with all the huge elephants and hippopotamuses, it’s still fun to get down and look at the little things. Well . . . Not too little!
Velvety Swamp Snake
Marty’s photo of the day #4540: This is a velvety swamp snake, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Somewhere along the Antarctic coast
Marty’s photo of the day #4539: Somewhere along the coast of Antarctica. Yes, the water really was that color.
Turtle meet-ups
Marty’s photo of the day #4538: This is a hawksbill sea turtle. Deb and I met up with this particular turtle multiple times during our Bonaire snorkel outings. We could tell it was the same turtle by the marks on its shell. These turtles are listed as critically endangered, so it was a thrill for […]

A Fuzzy Gentoo Penguin Chick
Marty’s photo of the day #4536: I think many of you could use a photo of a fuzzy gentoo penguin chick right about now. (Photographed in Antarctica)
