It's Saturday and it's time to share your critters.. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit.
These images are from March, we stopped in Savannah Georgia on the drive home from Florida. Near our hotel, I found the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. I try to visit any wildlife refuge in the area where we are traveling. The Savannah NWR is another wildlife refuge I can cross off my NWR list.
Above are the White Ibis adult and juvenile, a Glossy Ibis and a duck.
A few baby gators piled up. How many gators do you see?
Going for a ride, a gator on the turtle's back. I think they are strange companions!
A Green Heron
A Great Egret next to a Snowy Egret for a size comparison.
I've been contacted and asked to share some important news Critter related on the Elephant protection initiative org
Being an animal lover, I love all the critters. I believe the elephants and all wildlife all around the world should be safe in their own habitats. I appreciate that the governments will try their best to stop poaching and banning the sale of ivory. Also President Obama has announced a proposal to tighten control on domestic Ivory trade which follows last year's order to combat wildlife trafficking.
On to what I think is sad news from the past week and going wild on facebook, the much loved Cecil the Lion was killed by an American Hunter who paid $55,000 for his guide. The lion was lured away from the park with meat. Please help put a stop to this Trophy hunting of endangered animals. Cecil the lion Petition and this older (2012 hunt) article was previous Trump-big-African-hunt the Trump son's were posing with the Leopard, Elephants tail and more.
Being an animal lover, these trophy hunts and photos of the hunters smiling and posing with their kill just makes me sick. Someone needs to speak up and be a voice for these animals!
I hope you enjoyed my LIVE critters and post. As always thanks again for linking up, for the nice comments and for visiting my post. I wish everyone a happy weekend!

The President of Kenya today joined the Elephant Protection Initiative (EPI), the African-led conservation program to eradicate the ivory trade and stop the continued slaughter of the continent’s elephants by poachers. The commitment was made at a signing ceremony arranged by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources for the Kenya-based wildlife charity Space for Giants at State House in Nairobi. It was one of a series of pledges made by the President on joining the Giants Club, Africa’s new governmental conservation initiative that has been launched by Space for Giants.

Sharing ..A quote by Paul Rodriquez
"Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game."
RIP Cecil the Lion.
