Animals of the World - Pig Deers!

in #animalphotography6 years ago (edited)


This guy looks like he's going to charge at me!

Here's my entry to the "Animals of the World" themed contest hosted by @derangedvisions. I've chosen to enter a set of images of the Babirusa, which is also called the pig-deer. The first time I saw these creatures, I thought they were bald boars but something was 'off'. I had to stop and really look at them. I was so shocked to see two sets of tusks, with one set coming out from the top of the snout. I had to get a closer look so I swapped out my walk about lens to my zoom lens and teleconverter. I find these animals both cool and eerie!

 



 

Shot details are varied but the equipment I used are a Canon 7D, 100-400 zoom lens and a 1.4 tele converter.

Consider following me for updates and to find not only my other travel bloopers, blunders and shenanigans but also photography related news/reviews and the occasional contest entry.

All the photos (unless otherwise noted in the post) were taken by me and are available for sale. If you're interested in buying an image or three, 😃 please don't hesitate to contact me for more details. Thanks in advance!

Comments & Critiques are always welcome, as are upvotes and resteems.

Thanks for viewing and best wishes,

Ray
