Slide Shows
I am available for nature and travel slide show presentations.
The presentation is not simply a slide show. It is a talk about the animals for nature shows and how to go on trips to specific destinations. The presentations are designed not just for entertainment but also for a learning experience and to inspire enthusiasm for nature and travel.

Wildlife of Australia
When people think about the wildlife of Australia, they think of Koalas and typical kangaroos. Did you know that there are about 30 different kinds of kangaroos? Some are so small that they were mistaken for rats. Others climb about in the mountains like Mountain Goats, and some even hop around in the treetops like monkeys. Other animals include Wombats, Crocodiles, Seals, the Tasmanian Devil, giant bats, and many others, not so much snakes and spiders, like most presentations about Australia.
Squirrels of North & Central America
Learn about these fascinating rodents from the Arctic to Central America, including Tree Squirrels, Ground squirrels, Antelope Squirrels and Flying Squirrels. Even Squirrels that look like Chipmunks.
