The strawberry poison dart frog (also called the blue-jeans) is the coolest little dude I have ever seen. I loved trying to track them down and got pretty muddy capturing this shot. He was about the size of Tylenol - but with teenie-tiny legs. So, not exactly a large subject to find in the jungle, but that colour sure helps! (Hand held with a 100m macro, f4, 1/250 ISO 6400, kneeling in mud.)

More about hyraxes… By the way, the suborder Afrotheria also includes tenrecs, golden moles, ardvarks, and elephant shrews. njwight: The African tree hyrax is part of the group of animals known as Afrotheria., which also includes, amongst a few others, elephants. The elephant and the hyrax are thought to have descended from a common ancestor and some research indicates they are more closely related than any other group of animals-although the sea cow enters in there somehow. I love freaky little nature tricks.

Nothing says Happy St Patty’s Day like a little green bee-eater…except maybe a little bee-eater having a bird-bath in a pint of Guinness. Missed that shot. Slainte! NJ
