#SaveTheKoalaDay what else needs to be said. These gentle creatures are under increased pressure from loss of habitat and human introduced diseases.

Sharing one of my favorites for #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek. Taken in the bay of #Kodiak #Alaska.
Couldn't you watch these playful fellows fish and eat all day? Well, you otter!

With a face only a mother could love, #iguanas are by definition an underappreciated lot. #NationalIguanaAwarenessDay was founded to educate the public on the proper care of these cold blooded creatures.

I cannot begin to count the hours of enjoyment I've had from watching these little guys. Let's give them some love on #NationalHummingbirdDay, and remember to refill their feeders!

So much conservation efforts are focused on land animals, I wanted to highlight this tiny #hawkbill #seaturtle #hatchling being released into the sea to highlight #NationalWildlifeDay

My one and only encounter with a #walrus in the #CanadianHighArctic off the coast of #DevonIsland . Waited to see if these beauties would haul-out, but they decided that splashing in the waves was more fun

Seeing one of these bad boys in the wild is a huge bucket list item. I'll celebrate #saveatigermonth to promote their conservation in the hopes that I can tick that wish off as well someday.

Love them or hate them, #zoos provide the first (and sometimes only) time most of us interact with wildlife. I know this where my love for animals started. Since you protect the things you love, celebrate #ZooAwarenessDay to promote the love of animals.

To celebrate #InternationalBatNight here's the worlds largest bat, the #pteropus or more commonly referred to as the #FlyingFox or #FruitBat taken in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The #AtlanticPuffin arrives each spring to the #Iceland coastline for mating season. Many individuals will return to the same burrow to the same mate year after year. #Latrabarg steep cliffs always an adventure all on their own.

It is hard to capture the sights, sounds and feelings one gets when just a fraction of the estimated 735,00 #SandhillCranes arrive along the banks of the #PlatteRiver to roost at dusk during their annual migration through the #nebraska #flyway.

Celebrating #InternationalOrangutanDay (a few days late). With diminishing habitats, sightings of #wildlife like this in #Kabili-SepilokForestReserve of #Sabah #Borneo #Malaysia are becoming more and more precious to me.

#Bats get a bad rep, but the fact that one bat can eat 1,200 mosquitos per hour makes them alright in my book! Mass exodus for #BatAppreciationDay of the #WrinkledLipBat in #MuluNationalPark.

Who says #unicorns don't exist? The #narwhal is known as the #UnicornOfTheSea for their large tusk/tooth in front of their heads. So ... #NationalUnicornDay is a good time to share my favorite picture taken in the #Canadian #HighArctic.

#SandhillCrane migration in the #Nebraska #Flyway seems the perfect image to share for #NationalBirdingDay. Official count was 736,000 #cranes - plus or minus 55,000 - a record migration. So Beautiful!
