The Messengers colorado landscape But the jaws of these

But the jaws of these creatures (not of the lineage of felines as we know them today) opened so wide as to allow the teeth to be sunk deep within the huge prey these animals routinely attacked

and carefully dyed quills ofvarious birds summoned the strength ofthe magnificent creatures of the sky

and the lioness came straight towards the camera against a clean backdrop

At one point on a Tuesday - up on Funnel Creek - my guide and myself - alone in the wilderness - counted 24 bears in our sight at one single time
