Dear CassioCorradi,
Welcome to Project Noah. This site is for documenting the vast diversity of living things on earth. it isn't a trophy picture site, and humans are the only organism not allowed on Project Noah. I will be deleting your spottings that another ranger hasn't already deleted.
We look froward to your pictures of living organisms from nature. Thank you for understanding.
