Animal Photography: collection of my best wildlife close ups
**Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!**

There is a new photo contest going on in the [Photography Lovers](https://hive.blog/trending/hive-194913) community and the theme is ANIMALS, which means I cannot miss out on this round of course :) 

As you have probably noticed by now, posts about nature and animals make for a significant part of my content here on the blockchain and I have already published dozens (if not hundreds) of posts with animal photos. 

Nevertheless, because of the covid madness that we all have been dealing with in some ways for long months already, it´s very difficult to travel and explore new natural places these days and since I am not a big fan of facilities where captive animals can be observed, I had to make do with my old photos to participate in this photo contest. To make it a bit more interesting and entertaining for you, however, I decided to compile a special collection of some of my best wildlife close up photos and also identify all of the featured creatures. 

Without further ado, let me take you on this little "safari tour" where I will show you some of the most interesting creatures I have encountered and captured in different parts of the world.

I hope you you enjoyed this collection of animal close ups. I did my best trying to identify all those creatures for you but I am not an expert and I cannot guarantee that all the names are really correct. If you find any mistakes, please feel free to correct them in the comment section below, I will appreciate every feedback :) Thank you.

Great collection!

Thank you for participating at the contest at first...

I can see you meet a lot of wildlife during all these places you have been in the past. 
I somehow like the turtle the most and crab photo is also awesome.
Swimming with turtles is on my wish list. I was hoping to check that on Seychelles, but no luck that time. Reason more to keep traveling and exploring when all this madness will be over. 

Great effort first hunting all these animals with your camera and now puting it together in a compilation!
Worth all the support possible from my side...

@phortun · 
Thank you so much for all the support and your kind feedback Andy, much appreciated. Swimming with the turtles is an amazing experience and I hope you will have an opportunity to do that too one day. There was a place just a short drive from where we lived in Mexico where the turtles used to feed on the sea grass very close to the shore and it was there where I captured that shot. The turtles used to be really abundant in that area but unfortunately, just as I expected, mass tourism and ruthless visitors were causing too much stress and discomfort to the turtles that they left the place... Maybe now with so many people staying home, they returned to that bay...

I was swimming with manta rays on Seychelles and it was kind of scary I have to admit. I love swimming and snorkeling, but underwater World is still bit mystic to me. 

Poor turtles...
I have heard for few examples where tourism bam repaired the situation, especially nature wise. At least something where Covid did a positive thing.

Ohhh and I noticed you haven't post your entry at submission post yet. Choose the best one and wish you good luck!

Visit here in the Philippines @crazy-andy and you'll be assured to be swimming with the turtles. There's an island here called Apo Island and the turtles are just chillin' near the beach. You don't have to dive.

Moalboal here in Cebu has some turtle sightings on top of the sardine run.

Hey man you know that I wasn't thinking of traveling to Philippines in the past, but seeing your posts and some of your friends posts, things changed. I am sure I will visit Philippines at least once in the future and it will be near future. I am sure I can count on you to help me showing around. It would be awesome to have local input. I am waiting for turtle beach photos from your side. And entry to the contest as well ;)

Aww, thank you so much man :) I am really happy to see such a positive response from you guys. Animal photography is one of my very favorite photograpy categories so taking all those shots was a great pleasure and fun for me. Here is some more info about the [Portuguese Man of War](https://steemit.com/photography/@phortun/wildlife-of-yucatan-atlantic-portuguese-man-o-war), very interesting, yet dangerous creature :)
