Griffon Vulture- After nearly disappearing in the mid-20th century, the impressive 2,8 of wingspan griffon vulture has benefited from one of the most successful reintroduction programs since the 1980s. By the 2000s, there were already 200 pairs, and this number had risen to 800 by 2021. The Grands Causses Regional Natural Park and its vertiginous gorges provide an ideal environment for them, offering nesting sites and thermals that allow them to soar high enough to spot sheep carcasses from dozens of kilometers away. While you can easily admire their majestic flight from the valley floor, the ideal experience is, of course, to venture a few hundred meters up the promontories to capture low-angle shots of their slow ascents.

The hilarious multiple personalities of the golden jackal. What would you call each of them? Playfulness? Slyness? Curiosity? Amusement?
What I love about animal portrait photography, more than video, is that it allows you to freeze expressions for fractions of a second, that you could barely capture with the naked eye.
And this highlights an increasingly scientifically confirmed truth: yes, animals have feelings.
And like you and me, sometimes they have several thoughts and moods in the same minute.
For example, what's going through this jackal's mind right now? Is he lurking around the fawns nearby? Is he waiting for a rabbit he spotted earlier to come back? Or is he just posing, sitting calmly on this sunny late morning, amused by these great apes in their rolling crates? Is he looking down on them?
It would obviously be clumsy to interpret these expressions anthropomorphically, but we cannot retain us to do it, given how much they seem to reflect thoughts as complex, subtle, and varied as our own!
Could we say... human?
And besides, by what right, through this adjective, does our species monopolize the complexity and depth of feelings and thought?

Hump-nosed lizard. The largest dragon (Agamidae) in Asia, measuring between 30 and 40 cm, this magnificent species with its distinctive nose is found only in the last remaining patches of rainforest in Sri Lanka, such as Sinharaja. As a result, it is classified as near vulnerable. It hunts at night, and during the day, with keen eyesight and a great deal of patience, it is possible to spot this master of camouflage warming its blood in a sunbeam on a tree trunk.

The black-necked crane is probably the most emblematic bird of Ladakh, both culturally for the local population and for ornithologists, for whom it is a primary target. Exclusively Asian, it inhabits the wetland ecosystems of the Himalayan highlands between 3,500 and 4,800 meters, undertaking only short winter migrations to descend below 3,000 meters to less frozen areas of the mountain range. The best time of year to observe them is undoubtedly during their courtship display in April and May, upon their return, when, like other crane species, they engage in spectacular, synchronized dances and calls punctuated by leaps and the scattering of grasses. They lay only about two eggs, which is why their population is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, in a context of urbanization that threatens the wetlands whose balance they help to maintain.

This photo might seem innocuous to you? Well, it's actually one of the riskiest I've taken of this titan, given that it wasn't taken from a jeep but while I was on foot with my guide, just 50 meters away, when he was already tense because of another male prowling nearby.
I only had five adrenaline-fueled seconds to take a burst of shots before calmly (and falsly) positioning myself high up behind a tree.
Capable of sprinting up to 50 km/h on their short legs, a charge can be fatal, as it has already been for many tourists.

Aside from that, these mighty giants graze all day, consuming 50 to 100 kg of vegetation daily, mainly grass, twigs, leaves, branches, shrubs, flowers, fruits, and aquatic plants.

With a length of between 3.2 and 3.7 meters, a height of 1.6 to 1.9 meters, and a weight ranging from 800 kg to 2.7 tons (!!!), this mammal is the second largest after its African cousin, the white rhinoceros, among the five species found on both continents. It is the second largest land animal after the elephant. However, it does not belong to the same order; rhinoceroses are actually more closely related to ungulates, such as horses.

Rhinoceros are descendants of a vast family that was once widespread throughout the world: the Rhinocerotidae.

During the Eocene epoch, giant rhinoceroses were among the largest mammals that ever existed.

That's why contemplating this impressive colossus truly feels like stepping back in time. Solitary but sociable, except among males, rhinoceroses, contrary to popular belief, have several partners throughout their lives and can mate for up to three hours! (Imagine that!).

Gestation lasts 16 months. They stay together as a family during this time to raise their single offspring. They then become very protective and potentially aggressive towards any intruder, including humans.

Their horn is made of keratin, not ivory, and if it breaks, it can grow back.

Egyptian Vulture

We were lucky enough to come across this pair on the last day before their migration to Spain and then sub-Saharan Africa.
The smallest vulture in Europe, with a wingspan of 160 to 180 cm, it had almost disappeared from France.
Thanks to the efforts of numerous associations, including it now reclaimed part of its original territory.
A few couples are now established between the Pyrenees and the Alps, like here in the Gard, renewing the geographical continuity of its distribution in southern Europe
This has been made possible in particular by the creation of feeding stations where local farmers deposit carcasses, thus compensating for the lack of food left by the abandonment of pastoralism, in the absence of abundant wildlife.
It is thanks to these collective efforts of farmers, municipalities, and associations that this pair was able to have offspring this year, which was perched a little further away that day. It too left for its first migration the day after its parents departed.
More detailed photos to come, I isolated this one as the only one where I managed to capture them in the same shot.
