Daily Creature

dailycreatureEach day for my Daily Creature I’ll be posting a new species with an interesting fact. My goal is to see how many different species I’ve photographed in my life. There are 60,000 vertebrate animals & more than a million invertebrates in the world. Each one has a fascinating story to tell. (This could take a while.)

You can see the daily creature by following me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google Plus. You can also get an occasional re-cap by signing up for the newsletter.
