The pink eye suggests this may be an albino. It’s a little larger than the mallard.
Photo taken in November 1996 near the top of Pico Basile in mid-morning. I saw many of these mouse shrews running around blindly in the grasslands along the road just below the peak at a density of approximately 1 animal/m2. Mouse shrews everywhere! Some sort of population explosion? To my knowledge they have not been seen since, although various biologists (who would recognize a mouse shrew) have been up that road in the intervening years. Since then, new roads have been built in the area and wildfires have damaged the grasslands.

Sand blasted fragment of eggshell. There are many such fragments scattered in the area
This pair of now extinct Golden Toads was photographed at the entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve where they were kept for visitors to the park to see since their observance in the wild was limited to only a few days a year during the onset of their breeding season (late May & early June). This species is sexually dimorphic, the males are bright orange or yellow and females are dark brown with red spots.

A large white full-bodied civet (maybe Masked Palm Civet or Small-toothed Palm Civet) foraging during the day. It's probably albino so it creates a phenotype that's quite rare in the wild, I'm so glad I captured this moment because not everyone can see an albino civet in the wild because of its type. This image is rarely seen in the wild. The video was shot in Son Duong-Tuyen Quang in the Tam Dao mountain range.
What kind of civet do you think this is?
I have been told that Halifax Island in Namibia is the only place in world where penguins and flamingos can be seen together:
Sadly, one of the last individual, if not the very last, before extinction. More info at My World of Bird Photography
Data aproximada
First iNaturalist record.
With Graham Armstrong, Pete Ellis, Steve Guy, Guy Langan, Paul Harvey, Phil Heath, Ian Lewis.
Seen for more than an hour after dawn, in a small loose group of Eur. Curlews, feeding in a short-grass field on the south side of the main lake. This was "limpy" - the bird that had been shot about 3 weeks earlier, but seemed to make a recovery.
This location is the last known wintering site for this species. The last record from here was in February 1995.
Here is a link to the last video taken at this site, in January 1995:

Observation is for the bottom snake in 2nd image. One of Four flipped within 20 feet of eachother.
Around 20ish adults and immatures in decayed leaf litter beneath large stone.
A tortoise spotted when me and my friends were out hiking. We didn't think it was owned since it was just us and a couple of other hikers around, so we told the trail center about it just in case they had to call someone about it/transport it somewhere safer(?) Hopefully it got to where it needs to be!
Found around afternoon and the weather was cloudy.
Pod of at least 3 or 4, including one calf. Adults all appear to be female. Observed attacking a Common Dolphin, possibly teaching the calf to hunt.
unsure if tropicalis or gazella
Not at all sure of this one
There were several calling over the course of a couple miles of walking. This is the only one I saw.
Standing on lower level of buoy below animatronic Pixar gulls.
Approx. 4 ft. tall. Uniformly small leaves with wavy toothed edges
Another presumably released pet from 2001. Found by LE ranger.
Over Cape Horn, probably as far south as recorded?

What kind of spider is this? Notice the mark on his caboose
While hiking saw this Ornate Box Turtle cruising thru the grass
I check the Race Rocks live cams periodically, and have managed to track part of the migratory timing of two different sea lions (one CSL and one SSL) I've encountered in the Puget Sound by observing them on the cams. I happened to be checking them a couple of minutes ago, and I spotted an individual that struck me as appearing to be intermediate between a Steller and a California sea lion. I am curious about hybridization between these two species, and posted about it more extensively here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/hybridization-between-steller-and-california-sea-lions/1381
I also recently spoke to someone who works closely w/ Otariids on the Pacific coast of North America who claims to have data on a number of CSL/SSL hybrids (as well as CSL/Northern fur seal hybrids).

Small bear that found his way into downtown orlando
Definitely a dream come true and the best moment of my herping career so far. I wasn’t the lucky one to find either of these amazing snakes but I was lucky enough to be there for it
