Hi Gabedean, you have some wonderful spottings I see, however as a wildlife community we prefer photos of organisms alive & in their natural habitat wherever possible and this one seems to be a trophy of some sort. Kindly replace this with a spotting of a living organism.

We look forward to seeing some more of your awesome spots.
