Not too many people have a reason, or perhaps the good fortune, to find themselves visiting South Texas on a beautiful Spring day. Luckily, I have been fortunate enough to do just that when I spent a few days at the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary outside San Antonio. Aside from the obvious delight of seeing a snow monkey sitting high in a scrubby tree, I was amazed by how beautiful the landscape really was. I was also amazed by the incredible wildlife we were fortunate enough to see.

On that note, Tim Ajax, the director of the sanctuary, recently sent these amazing pictures of some wildlife he spotted on a recent day off. (Click on the images to see the enlarged photos.)
I thought they would be fun to share with blog readers.
The first two shots are of a rattlesnake who apparently survived an epic battle with a prickly pear cactus and the second few are of a gorgeous great horned owl chick, about 10 days hatched.
Enjoy the beauty of truly “wild”life!
