Nice.. do you have a online gallery with the pictures u have taken?

What kind of camera do you use? i use a Nikon F65. I have a Sigma 70-300mm zoom with that too. I'm dabbling in photography myself but it is no where close to the quality of your stuff.. yet haha

take a look on my gallery here if you like... there are some nice pics in there that I took.

There are over several thousand animals in the wild, about 2000+ in India alone. Also as I hear it, there are more individuals in captivity then in the wild so, they are on a very good come back..
John, show them how impressive mature males are compared to females, females are impressive in there own rights but males are amazing and 100 times better to see them in person - both animals.. Hopefully, I'll get to play with a few Tomistomas in November..

I use Nikon equipment, the camera bodies I use most often are the N70, F100 & D100 and an assortment of lenses.

Had a chance to look at your gallery. You have some excellent photos! You sure have worked with some amazing animals!

I don't have a gallery, but some of my photos are posted at:

The Gharial, the Chinese alligator and several other endangered crocodilians are doing well in captivity. Unfortunately much of their natural habitat where these animals once flourished has been altered significantly or totally developed. So while these animals are making a come back... a come back to where seems to be the question.

Sorry, I don't have a photo of a "ghara" (The bulbous growth on the tip of the male's snout).

I hope that your Tomistomas plans workout. Take some pics!
