Adder Adders Snake Snakes Amphibians And Reptiles

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by AUS-1006 from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, we witness the cunning strategy of the Northern Death Adder. Known for its deceptive hunting techniques, this sly reptile has mastered the art of imitation. With its tail playfully wagging like a tempting grub or wriggling worm, this crafty adder lures unsuspecting prey right into its clutches. It's nature's version of a sneaky magic trick! As we marvel at this incredible snapshot, it's hard not to imagine the hilarious scenarios that could unfold if other animals fell for this clever charade. Will birds swoop down expecting an easy meal only to be met with a surprise? Or perhaps curious critters will approach with caution and realize they've been outsmarted by one wily snake? The Northern Death Adder proves once again that Mother Nature is full of surprises and ingenious strategies. Its ability to mimic food in order to secure its next meal showcases both adaptability and intelligence. So next time you're strolling through the wilderness, keep an eye out for any suspiciously waggling tails! You never know when you might stumble upon another mesmerizing performance from these master illusionists of the animal kingdom.
