JUL 19, photo-collage: talking heads ('lower' creatures), G to Z

 

 This tongue-in-cheek collection is a followup to earlier series  "Talking Heads, avian" (6 blogposts), and "Talking Heads, mammalian" (3 blogposts). A hundred mavens from various portions of the animal kingdom have been involved altogether. 

All the photos were taken by our registered pseudonym Giorgio,  using his i-phone camera. Most of the sites were in "the wild"; a minority of the photos were taken at zoos, refuges and aquariums (and a few were captured in his library). None of the subjects were reimbursed for participation, and the natural aspect of the encounters was respected wherever possible. None of the subjects were abused in any way, although a few did become anxious at our presence, altering their routines to "take off".
