Wildlife Photography. While on expeditions, the XplorMor team enjoys spotting and observing wildlife in natural habitats. It’s an exciting feeling to be walking along a trail, and catch a movement with the corner of your eye, only find a rare snake slithering in the grasses or an endangered American Crocodile chewing on a fish or the tiniest of caterpillars hanging on a leaf prick you with its stingers while you’re stooping to take a photograph! The joys of exploring the wild.

It’s wonderful to just get out there and explore our world; however, it’s another to open yourself up to spying creatures in the wild, especially the minute ones that are so easily missed. XplorMor Team has found that documenting the wildlife creates a further depth to getting out there, a whole new layer in the natural world. And, an important one. The explorer should be aware of all facets of the world they are exploring in order to make their impression the least impactful, to solely observe and leave no trace.

Recently, and thanks to identification help from  iNaturalist, we have begun to name and catalogue much of the wildlife photography taken on XplorMor Expeditions. This has also lead to a better understanding of the environments we’ve explored by educating us in a new way about the habitats and importance of ecosystems.
