Mako Madness! Weve been havig a blast in Baja this week, having seen SO MUCH Wildlife. But the main highlight here, is the fastest shark in the Sea. The Shortfin Mako! Here’s a shot of me bringing a mako nice and close for a hand feed. Executing a shot like this takes extreme focus and understanding of the animal! #Mako 🎥 @wildlifewithryan 📍 Cabo San Lucas 🛥️ @cabosharkdive #savesharks #swimmingwithsharks #makosharks

Common Nighthawk They’re actually not that common, and they’re not a Hawk! These cool birds are a member of the Nightjar family, seen mostly dancing in the sky at dawn / dusk. I had a few great opportunities to photograph these guys with different backgrounds! I hope you think they’re cool, too! #Nighthawk 📸 @wildlifewithryan 📍 Florida #shotoncanon @canonusa EOS R5 Canon 200-800mm lens #Birdnerd #birdsoﬁnstagram #commonnighthawk

Naturalized parrots! These blue and yellow macaws were at the top of my list for the accredited species of parrots that have formed Sustaining populations in South Florida! Macaws are large, colorful parrots native to South America. In my opinion it’s quite the treat to see them wild here in Florida! 🎥 @wildlifewithryan 📍 Florida #macaw #birdnerd ##parrots #macaws

CMA post 3! Meet the Dolphins! You can meet the dolphins, too!! Sign up for a private dolphin tour and learn about what it takes to make sure these animals are in the best health! This isn’t some swim with dolphin in captivity program, it’s a hands on, educational class on keeping non-releasable dolphins happy and healthy! #CMAQUARIUM 🎥 @wildlifewithryan 📍 @cmaquarium #rescue #rehab #dolphins #cma

CMA post 2! - Education, Rescue, Rehab, Release! Clearwater Marine Aquarium has a clear mission. To Educate, and to rescue animals and get them back to the wild. There are situations where animals cannot get back into the wild, where they would not survive. The options then are then euthanizing, or living under the care of CMA. That decision comes from above the Aquarium, but the aquarium has the staff and tools needed to provide a happy / healthy life to the animals who need their help! Go see the awesome animals and staff at @cmaquarium 🙌 🎥 @wildlifewithryan 📍 @cmaquarium #rescue #rehabilitation #release #education

CMA post 1 - Intro to Hope! I met Hope last summer, but her story goes back much further. This bottlenose dolphin was found in rough shape with her mother, but unfortunately, her mom didn’t make it. Clearwater Marine aquarium stepped in, not only rescuing Hope, but giving her a second chance at life. Over the next few days, I’m going to tell you about some of the amazing things that they do at the Clearwater Marine aquarium. But here’s a quick little intro, and what led us to this point. This isn’t an amusement park, it’s a rescue, rehab, rehabilitation, and if possible release, based facility. 🎥 @wildlifewithryan 📍 @cmaquarium #rescue #rehabilitation #release #secondchance
