| The 3 Amigos in Cottonwood |
A photographer quietly entered the world of a wild meerkat mob, moving slowly and calmly so as not to frighten them. The small animals were busy with their daily lives—digging, standing watch, and caring for pups—but they noticed the newcomer and kept coming closer. Instead of running away, some meerkats sniffed and looked him over, as if deciding whether he belonged.

KAGU, A Flightless Bird Found in Only One Place on Earth!
The kagu lives only in New Caledonia, and nowhere else in the wild. It barely flies at all. Instead, it walks slowly through the forest floor, relying on its legs rather than its wings.
When threatened or alert, it raises its long crest and spreads its wings downward in a dramatic display. That posture isn’t for show, it’s meant to intimidate predators and make the bird look larger. Because of its limited range and ground-dwelling lifestyle, seeing a kagu in the wild is extremely rare.
Fun fact: The kagu has powdery feathers that help protect it from moisture in humid forests.
