Three more days until Christmas delivery, so three more days of mother and baby animals in the wild. Whatever I can do to get you to visit my store at www.specieslimited.com and get those holiday gifts. Thanks to all those who already have. As for the image, I captured this one of a reticulated giraffe and her calf in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya back in 2011.

Only four days left to order the 2026 calendar at www.specieslimited.com or any of the great shirt designs. Well, only four days left for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

And even better, join us next June in Kenya and Uganda and see the gorillas in the wild. Spots still available.Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/125th of a second.
I’m going to keep schilling until we hit that deadline of December 11th to guarantee Christmas delivery. Here’s another other mother/baby images that didn’t make the 2026 Mother’s Nature calendar that can be found in Species Limited shop. Lots of T-shirts too that make great holiday gifts for all nature/wildlife lovers out there. The monkeys, by the way, are hanuman langurs, also known as gray langurs and they were photographed in Kanha National Park in India.Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 800, f/5 at 1/400th of a second.
Here’s an old classic from back in 2009. But it didn’t make the cut for the 2026 mothers with offspring themed calendar. Still time to pick one or two up before the holidays at www.specieslimited.com. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 400, f/7.1 at 1/800th of a second.
With a deadline of December 11th to guarantee shipping arrival by Christmas, I’m going to keep plugging my shop Species Limited. Not just the calendar called Mother’s Nature with images like this (but not this), you can also find many different wildlife-themed T-shirts across four collections. As for the above image, I took it way back in 2009 in Indonesian Borneo. The baby was newborn and the mother was showing constant affection. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 140mm) ISO 800, f/5 at 1/80th of a second.
