  • This male and female Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels have paired up for the reproductive season. They had just finished foraging for food high in the canopy and were sitting together like this during light snow. The pair mated a few days after this photograph was taken. The male is on the right, female left.

  • This is milk that escaped from the mouth of a female humpback whale calf (a very white one that I nicknamed Snow White) after nursing from her mother. Calves often open their mouths and appear to gulp water after they nurse, possibly to flush excess milk. Note that the milk was thick and coagulated in the seawater. This makes sense, as the milk has a high fat content in order to support the high caloric demand of a growing calf.

  • Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) female calf engaged in tail slapping with her mother. Both the adult and calf had a lot of white on their bodies. I gave the calf the nickname Snow White. This was our second encounter with this female/ calf pair. On this occasion, there was no escort accompanying them. During our first meeting, there was an escort, which was also quite white.

  • This is a Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel pausing in a favored spot after emerging from its nest, just prior to ascending to the treetops to forage. There is snow in the background. The soft, cool light is from the setting sun.

  • This is a Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel peeking out from the entrance to its nest just before a major snowstorm hit. The northwest side of the tree was already coated with snow, and the winds had picked up considerably. The squirrel decided not to emerge at the time.

  • Frequent, repeated defecation by Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels in favored locations results in accumulated droppings. As winter snow melts, embedded droppings dissolve, dripping down to become fertilizer for the relevant tree.

  • This is a Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel making its final approach back to the nest after foraging. The animal blends in perfectly with its environment, a snow-covered forest. The entrance to the nest is a narrow crack in the Erman's birch (Betula ermanii) tree.
