More Proof That Kerry Is The Greatest Wildlife Photographer Of Her Generation

She did it again. A photo of the elusive 'missing link' between dinosaurs and modern lizards -- mythicus dragonia. It doesn't look that big in the picture, but this guy measure 35 feet from head to tail.

Kerry Is The Next Great Wildlife Photographer

This is an 'i feel car sick' exclusive excerpt from Kerry's forthcoming travel journals:

As the bloodthirsty chipmunk stared us down, I knew that I only had a fraction of a second to capture the moment on film. The beast gnashed its fangs and let out a bloodcurdling shriek that I can never forget. I snapped the camera and the monster lunged. Blood dripped from the corners of its mouth. The pounding in my skull reached deafening levels, and I lost consciousness as the creature jabbed its claws into my eyes and clamped down on my neck.


I awoke in a cloud of blood and confusion. But I was alive. Brandon had fought off the killer and had saved me. I owed him my life.

Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Royal Gorge Route?

Then we got on a train which took us past the really tough rapids. But not because we couldn't do it . . .

Forward Two! Back One! Forward Three!

Here are the rapids we ran today on the Arkansas River. No, really. The dude said these were 'gnarly' and 'swirly'. They also rank very highly on the whitewater danger scale.

World's Most Dangerous Whitewater
1. Niagara Falls
2. Victoria Falls
3. Arkansas River
4. Malibu mudslide (1986)

Yes, the river we rafted was just slightly less dangerous than going over Niagara Falls. I think our picture will be on the cover of Outside magazine next month.

Before dining, we bungee jumped off the roof.
