Squirrel Glider (Squirrel Glider) sent on November 20, 2017 (18:09) by Gianluca Tomarchio Vasta. 6 comments, 766 views.

at 200mm, 1/13 f/4.0, ISO 8000, hand held.

In una grande gabbia accanto a me vedo del movimento sui rami di un albero. C'è anche una specie di casetta per gli uccelli, ma lunga due metri e con non meno di dieci aperture circolari. Prima ci avevo visto dentro una persona. Mi alzo e mi avvicino. Dentro vedo almeno sei o sette animaletti più o meno della forma e della grandezza di uno scoiattolo. Chiedo. Sono Squirrel Glider o scoiattoli planatori. Hanno la pelle della pancia così estesa tra le quattro zampe che riescono a planare, distendendola e tendendola completamente, per distanze anche di 50 metri tra gli alberi su cui vivono. Sono marsupiali e notturni. Io riesco ad avvicinarmi ed a fotografarne uno discretamente bene perché mi fanno entrare all'interno della gabbia. Non mi piace che stiano in gabbia e nemmeno il fotografare animali in cattività, ma è un'occasione unica. Una signora, forse moglie del proprietario, sembra la persona più interessata e che si occupa delle varie gabbie che adesso noto tutt'intorno alla struttura. E' lei che, visto il mio interesse per fotografarli, mi fa entrare nella gabbia e poi mi chiede una delle foto. Gliela copio. A questo punto mi porta in braccio un piccolissimo Wallaby. Lo accarezzo. E' agitato. Chiedo della madre e mi dice che è morta. Per calmarlo lo infila completamente in un sacco di tela che fa le veci di un marsupio. Smette infatti immediatamente di agitarsi.

Captive animal, but beautiful species that I had never seen. I would have been more attentive (being in captivity and having time) to the composition and not to cut the tail of the subject.
Greetings

You're right and it's my regret. I wanted to get out of there as fast as possible and give him less hassle possible and I was forced to high ISO and times to the limit of human tremor and this is the best photo I took. I would have been brought back but I said no.
a greeting.

Species endemic to Australia, which despite its name, is not a real squirrel (rodent), because the squirrel gliders are in fact small marsupials. A clarification that I thought was right to make.
Nice shot!
