Wildlife With Sean Wildlife photos from around the world by nature enthusiast and artist Sean Mullen My name is Sean Mullen. I hope you enjoy.

I'm a professional artist and nature enthusiast with a deep fascination for all animals - big, small, beautiful, creepy, docile, or dangerous. Since I was a little boy, I've been catching frogs, bugs, and whatever else I could in our yard, the forest behind our house, or wherever else we found ourselves. But it wasn't until my early twenties that I took my first step towards wildlife photography. That step was a trip to visit one of my best friends who was living in Thailand. There, we drove out to a national park and hired a guide to help us explore. During a night safari he took us on, we encountered a type of Civet that we later learned was thought to be extinct in that part of Thailand. It was a stunning animal, and as we quietly watched it, I found myself wishing I had a camera to get some pictures of it. Shortly after reaching home in Los Angeles, I went out and bought my first DSLR. Ever since, I've been lugging my camera and a growing collection of lenses anywhere I've gone in the world, doing all the wildlife photography I can. This website features the most successful shots I've managed to capture on those trips, and will host any new shots I manage to get in the coming years.

Wanna hear something gross?

See how this male Sambar Deer is wearing a fresh coat of mud? Well, during mating season, which this was, the males like to splash around in mud pools while peeing on themselves and directly into the pool, making a nasty soup of mud, pheromones, and scents. Then they rub their bodies in this nasty soup and wander off to smear it all over nearby trees and vegetation. This apparently helps keep other males away while it's a total turn-on for the ladies. Everyone's into their own thing I guess.

This is one of, if not the first shot I got that revealed to me what stunning blue-green eyes these Double-crested Cormorants have.

Another shot of this little guy from Bandipur National Park back in '24.

Safari trips are scheduled to line up with wildlife activity. You tend to head out in the morning while it's still dark so you can get somewhat deep into the wilderness by the time the sun rises and animals become active. Then by 9 or 10am, the morning safari is over, you grab some breakfast, maybe catch a nap, and go through the morning's photos. At around 3pm, you head back out as the temperature starts to cool down and animals are again becoming active until sunset.

It was midday between these safari outings when this little guy and his troop showed up at our cabin to forage. I grabbed the camera so I could try out some different lenses and settings on a low-stakes subject rather than risking experimentation while trying to shoot a tiger or elephant or something. It was a nice, unexpected surprise when this little guy took such an interest in me, letting me get a whole series of shots that showed his sweet, curious personality.

Male Piping Plovers develop that black unibrow over their eyes during breeding season to be sexier to the females, who are totally into it apparently. This one is after a snack in the water while lookin' fine.

I was recently reminded of this shot and have learned a lot more about it now.

This is François, the undisputed alpha male of Alpine Ibexes populating Parc de Merlet in the French Alps. He reigned for most of his 12-year life and died naturally in December of 2023, about 2 and a half years after I shot this picture of him.

The chimney he's lounging on is part of a historical structure - a meticulously preserved bread oven chalet. In the past, in mountain hamlets of the French Alps, it wasn't feasible for every home to have its own bread oven. So each village would build a single, communal bread oven chalet that everyone could share. They'd fire it up once a month or every couple weeks, and the whole village would do all their baking at one time.

And because massive Alpine Ibex like François were so drawn to its relaxing warmth, they added a reinforced platform to this chimney to support his weight - around 220 pounds.

Finally, to make the photo even more interesting, François is framed by the Glacier des Bossons on the northern face of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe. The glacier is the largest cascading icefall in Europe, starting from the peak of the mountain and flowing about 3,400 meters down its face.

At the time I just thought it was a super cool-looking shot of an interesting animal in front of a glacier. Glad I finally did more digging.

When we moved to France years back, I met my first House Centipede. I did not expect it. They're nightmare creatures that look like monsters and scurry around super fast. But they eat all the bugs I didn't want in the house, so I rooted for them.

This is Shubh - an endangered Bengal Tiger in Ranthambore National Park. At 2 years old when this picture was taken, he was still a tiger teen. Son of Ranthambore royalty, with his mother being Riddhi, considered the reigning queen of this part of the park, and his father Charger, the largest, dominant male in the area. I for one wouldn't mess with him.
