Aslyfox. I find it interesting that the shadow the cheetahs are resting in has an indigo or deep purplish cast to it. I've seen purple shadows when driving across the New Mexican deserts, where the sandy dry soil between the widely-spaced Pinon shrubs and other scrubby vegetation looks quite a pinky shade of tan.

Its looks like it could be just a piece of shaped and covered high density foam- popular with some photographers- as it is light, and if shaped properly, can be used in a variety of applications, such as here- to saddle a horizontal pole. Or it could be a molded bean bag. Possibly even polystyrene inside.

I was more interested in guesses as to the camera and lens he was using. There were 3 or 4 other vehicles there when we pulled up. Apparently some of those folks saw the actual kill

Probably Canon+400mm lens. But anyone's guess.

this chameleon seems to be mad about being spritzed with some water

I found it in the Madagascar Exhibit at the Fred Doorly Zoo in Omaha Nebraska

Went back to the Iceland files and worked on some previously unprocessed images. There are far more unused images than those I've posted, but it is the same assortment of birds. This oyster catcher got tired of waiting to be posted.

( I may be fighting a trend here but I like cats, not house cats you understand but the other cats so)

look close, among the reflections caused by the glass window of the fence and other objects and the clutter of the enclosure you may spy (whoops, isn't that a different thread??)
