From Steve Gettle

"Baby Huey Onboard" - Giant Anteater - The Pantanal Brazil

Giant Anteater mothers carry their babies on their backs for the first few months of their lives. Although from the looks of junior here he is getting a little old for this kind of service!?!

Good Luck and Good Light! Steve

I try to get people fascinated by all the neat things about animals so they want to learn more on their own. It's finding that spark of interest that works for each of us differently. Especially for adults that don't feel close to animals or ones that think they know enough.

I haven't seen the Big Bear stream, I'll have to look at that. I got big into owls especially, and last year I started working at a wildlife rehab so I could work with them, and all the other animals. We have a resident unreleasable Bald Eagle and one patient that was treated for lead poison and an injured wing. They are very imposing birds! The Great Horned Owls and Red Tailed Hawks are already pretty big, but the eagle is on a whole other level!
