XANDER GEOGRAPHIC 🏕️

I will never forget this moment for as long as I live. For years I've dreamed of getting a chance to photograph a moose... I was finally blessed with an opportunity: a cow and her calf wading in a shimmering Montana lake in Glacier NP with an epic backdrop. A living painting.

In A New Voyage to Carolina (1709), John Lawson listed the "Tyger" apart from the panther. He saw one in the Carolina backcountry describing it as larger than a panther, "a very bold Creature." His guide fired at it from long range. It sat and stared back. Lawson said tigers lived mostly west, beyond the mountains. What the animal was, nobody knows. Today, jaguars are slipping back across the US border. Five individuals in Arizona since 2011!

Way too cool not to share. IMAX just released their custom opener for Godzilla Minus Zero. Such an awesome countdown!

Had a young college student approach me via DM from FIU to interview me about a project he's working on about the American crocodile and my work regarding the "King of the Everglades" docuseries I started last year. Apparently he's been a long time fan and I was so humbled and grateful for the opportunity. My video interview will also now forever be catalogued in FIU's United States Environmental Oral History library! Giving back like this for future generations to reference to makes this all so fulfilling to me. Hopeful we can inspire more adventure loving conservationists!

This shot of Godzilla and when his theme played was PEAK. Go see Godzilla Minus Zero in IMAX for the best possible viewing experience. Hats off to director Takashi Yamazaki for an incredible sequel.
