Animalia FRIDAY FRIDAY GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY

The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is a New World vulture, the largest North American land bird. Once numbered only 22 birds, conservation measures have raised that to over 300 today.

Secret Santa Swagg!

Submitted by Ben Iarwain on Sat, 01/12/2013 - 23:39

Got back home from my honeymoon to this fox, whom you may remember, a few days ago to find a package from my secret SG Santa!

All kindsa cool Bay area stuff - a zine, chocolates, some killer salsa, and some cool prints! But best of all was a bag of Grandma's peanut brittle - my girl and I have been inhaling this stuff.

This beast is into it too, to say the least. We went to Tel Aviv over the the break via NYC and Moscow, then headed into the Sinai to a town called Dahab to do nothing but dive and chill out for a week!

There was nothing but huge mountains behind us leading into the Red Sea - walls of coral start about ten meters out from the shore and go down hundreds and hundreds of meters. Across the water is Saudi Arabia - nothing doing there judging from the lack of lights at night.

It was super quiet because the revolution in Cairo scared off all the tourists, so there was a lot of Scrabble and shisha when we weren't diving some amazing motherfucking sites! Hit the jump for all the diving photos!
