The rarely seen Comal Blind Salamander. Found underground in central texas caves, this endangered species has adapted perfectly to cave life. #wildlife #salamanders #texaswildlife #texas #caving #cavelife

Blue death feigning beetle under the Arizona moonlight. Their blue color comes from a waxy substance helping it retain water. #photography #wildlifephotography #macrophotography

After tearing my hamstring, I haven't been able to really do much. Luckily my girlfriend was in town and she wheeled me around the Albuquerque Biopark zoo with my camera. #photography #Albuquerque #animalphotography

A juvenile copperhead lying in wait. These snakes are quite common in the south. When young, they have a vibrant yellow/green tail to attract prey. Fearsome to many, these snakes prefer to stay out of the way of humans. #photography #snakes #wildlifephotography #nature #texas

One of the rarest animals on earth - the socorro isopod. This animal was once extinct in the wild but conservation efforts have brought them back to their home - a small 4ftx2ft thermal spring in New Mexico. #wildlife #photography #conservation #isopods #macro #socorroisopod #nature

Two endangered species from San Marcos, Texas: The San Marcos Salamander and the Fountain Darter. Endemic to only a few springs spouting from the Edwards Aquifer, these two species, as well as much of Austin and San Antonio, require a clean water table to survive #photography #wildlifephotography

Atlas Comet and the Milky Way seen at City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico. Wish I could have gotten more photos but the comet was only visible for a few minutes before the moon rose and washed it away. #photography #astrophotography #newmexico #milkyway #atlascomet

In the 1950's American Alligator populations plummeted due to overhunting. Today these animals number around 5 million and play a vital role in keeping waterways healthy throughout the year. This guy lives at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. #conservation #photography #wildlifephotography

Something rare is in this photo. Not the fish in the background, but the flowing plants - Texas Wild Rice, found only in the San Marcos river. Protected by TSU, these plants are threatened by introduced nutria and plecos. #endangeredspecies #photography #wildlife #texas

Stopped by @calacademy.bsky.social when I went back home for Christmas. Really enjoyed this photo of one of the birds in the rainforest dome. If someone could tell me what species it is, that'd be great. #photography #birding #sanfrancisco
