Megan Fox got back to nature in a new photo shoot shared on Instagram, and her fiance Machine Gun Kelly responded with a rather thirsty comment in response to the sexy bikini snaps.
The actress, 37, who recently covered up a pelvic tattoo of her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, appeared to be very close to her own natural state as she posed in a tree.
The Emo Girl rapper was quick to type out: ‘If this is what a wild animal looks like, i’d let it maul me,’ marking his first public comment since their rumored relationship woes.
The Transformers actress adapted a sort of Jane of the Jungle persona while scantily clad in a Oséree string bikini.
The swimwear company was tagged in the series of sexy snaps by Megan’s makeup artist Jenna Kristina.

Thirsty comment: The Emo Girl rapper typed out, ‘If this is what a wild animal looks like, i’d let it maul me’
‘The forest is my oldest friend,’ the model wrote next to the posting as she appeared to crawl across a wide tree branch.
The green bikini is difficult to see in that photo, but displayed more prominently on another, in which she sat on the branch by hugging the tree’s trunk.
Her long dark hair was styled in very loose waves with blonde pieces added for textures. A silk butterfly was added to her lustrous mane for decoration.
The Tennessee-born beauty shared a video from the photo shoot, so fans could watch as she flawlessly moved from one pose to another.
Back in February, Fox shared a cryptic post which she captioned as, ‘You can taste the dishonesty / it’s all over your breath,’ which are lyrics from Beyonce’s track, Pray You Catch Me.
The post sparked rumors that there was trouble within their relationship. Shortly after, the pair were seen at a marriage counseling office. However, the stars appear to be working things out.
In May, the couple were seen stepping out together in London, and last month in June, the actress supported MGK at a concert in Berlin.
Megan can also be seen on the big screen next in the upcoming Expend4bles.
She has teamed up with Expendables veterans Sylvester Stallone, 77, and Jason Statham 55, to take on an arms dealer with enough man power to supply his own private army.
The actress has shared a trailer from the action adventure on social media.
50 Cent is joining the fun, as is Andy Garcia.

The Teen Choice Award winner has also completed work on the futuristic sci-fi film, Subservience.
The plot focuses on a man who buys a domestic SIM to help care for his family, only to have the artificial intelligence gain awareness and turn deadly.
Megan traveled to Bulgaria to shoot the project for her Till Death director SK Dale.
The mom of three, who shares sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, nine, and Journey, six, with her ex-husband, has also leant her voice talents to the animated Naya Legend of the Golden Dolphin.

ALTUN MOUNTAINS, July 15 (Xinhua) — The rabbit lake district of the Xinjiang Altun Mountains National Nature Reserve has an average altitude of about 5,000 meters. Surrounded by snow mountains, the district is a natural shelter for Tibetan antelopes to avoid their natural enemies. The animal enters its peak season of reproducing in July. Thousands of baby Tibetan antelopes are born here every year. Guided by their mothers, the babies will learn basic living skills such as standing, walking and running within half an hour after birth. Tibetan antelopes are under the first-class protection of the country.

If you’re a stamp collector, then you know who James Balog is.
Balog, who will be honored at this year’s fourth-annual Boulder Environmental / Nature / Outdoors Film Festival (ENOFF), was the first-ever photographer to be commissioned by the U.S. Postal Service to create a full set of stamps.

Released in 1997, the iconic 15-stamp sheet features photos that Balog captured of animals found on the United States Fish and Wildlife Service endangered species list, including stunning portraits of the Florida panther, Hawaiian monk seal and the Wyoming toad.
Unsurprisingly, Balog is not just a hero within the philatelist community — he is also known for his work documenting major global events for some of the top publications in the world, including National Geographic, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. His photography is the star, muse and subject of two award-winning films “Chasing Ice” and “The Human Element.” Balog, the director and founder of the Earth Vision Institute and the Extreme Ice Survey, is also the author of more than nine books depicting crucial ecological issues.
He’s an all-around environmentalist — who just so happens to call Boulder home. A jewel in Boulder’s crown, one could say.
Balog’s name will be attached to yet another achievement — this weekend he will be honored as the inaugural recipient of the Earth Angel award at Boulder ENOFF.
Although Balog has received numerous accolades, including an Emmy Award and a Sundance Award for cinematography, he said that receiving the Earth Angel award remains an honor and a privilege.

“This might be the first time since I was a little boy that anyone has ever called me an angel,” Balog said, laughing. “No, it’s very flattering, and I’m inspired by it, and delighted for it.”
The Earth Angel statuette was created to honor individuals in the community who have demonstrated acute awareness and continued dedication toward the Earth and the environment. Though festival organizers have attempted to hand out this award years prior, the pandemic and other setbacks delayed the ceremonies — until now.
“Balog was the perfect candidate to receive this award, given for the first time,” said Richard Paradise, ENOFF’s festival director. “We’d very much like to make the Earth Angel Award an annual thing, but I couldn’t think of someone better to be the first person at Boulder ENOFF to set the precedent. Balog’s films, especially ‘Chasing Ice,’ are iconic.”
“Chasing Ice” was released in 2012, and was based on Balog’s extensive and groundbreaking research on the planet’s rapidly receding glaciers. Before “Chasing Ice,” Balog’s artistic vehicle was mainly through photography, but then film changed that.
“I wanted to work in a different medium that could touch audiences in a different way,” Balog said. “And really, basically, as I look back over the long arc of my working life — which is now almost 45 years in image making, I’m a storyteller.”
The fourth-annual Boulder ENOFFA kicked off Thursday and will run through Sunday. Balog will be in good company as several directors, cinematographers and fellow storytellers will visit the Dairy Arts Center for a celebration of environmental filmmaking.
Since its inception in 2019, the Boulder ENOFF has showcased films from creators from all over the world, highlighting a number of serious issues facing not just the planet, but humankind as well.

In recent years, Boulder has emerged as an up-and-coming hub for environmental filmmaking, attracting talented filmmakers and enthusiasts from around the world. With its breathtaking natural surroundings and a community deeply committed to environmental stewardship, Boulder provides an ideal backdrop for filmmakers seeking to tell compelling stories about our planet’s challenges and solutions — and Balog agrees.
“There has been a remarkable amount of high-quality documentary filmmaking that has come out of the Denver/Boulder area, considering the size of these towns and the fact that we don’t have a long history of there being a filmmaking community like there is in L.A. or New York,” Balog said. “There has been a lot of good work that’s coming out of this community, and I have been saying to people — there really should be a film about that.”
The Boulder ENOFF perhaps encapsulates that creative filmmaking spirit in the most Boulder way possible — with a film festival that exclusively celebrates love and dedication to the great outdoors.
This year’s lineup consists of more than eight full-length films, as well as several film shorts. From a breathtaking documentary capturing the wonders of Texas’ unique ecosystems in “Deep in the Heart,” to a thought-provoking narrative shedding light on the taboo surrounding nuclear energy in “Nuclear Now,” the festival’s film lineup is carefully curated to captivate and inspire audiences.

Directed by award-winning marine cameraman Patrick Dykstra, the documentary submerges viewers deep into the ocean. (Courtesy photo / Boulder ENOFF)
Of all the screenings in the lineup, Balog said he is looking forward to seeing one in particular: “Patrick and the Whale,” which will also be featured as the festival’s closing film. Directed by Patrick Dykstra, the gorgeously shot documentary submerges viewers deep into the ocean, where the award-winning marine cameraman Dykstra attempts to understand and befriend the complex creature, the sperm whale.

HONG KONG, July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) “Nature’s Canvas: Photo Contest Exhibition” will commence in mid-July at Pacific Place. The exhibition will showcase the award-winning photographs from TNC’s annual Global Photo Contest. Just as artists use canvas to create paintings, our planet is nature’s canvas, and the photographs on display highlight this by capturing the beauty of breathtaking landscapes, intricate ecosystems, and thriving plants and wildlife. TNC hopes that this event will give visitors an opportunity to connect with the beauty and wonder of nature and learn more about the importance of environmental protection and nature conservation efforts.
The Nature Conservancy “Nature’s Canvas: Photo Contest Exhibition”
Each year, TNC organizes an annual Global Photo Contest across six categories (Landscapes, People & Nature, Climate, Water, Plants & Fungi, and Wildlife). Participation in the 2022 contest was the highest ever, with over 100,000 entries from 196 countries. The winning photographs were selected by a judging panel made up of distinguished experts, including renowned conservation photographer Ami Vitale and the celebrated host of the YouTube channel “Brave Wilderness,” Coyote Peterson. The overall Grand Prize winner is a photograph taken by Chinese photographer Li Ping, who waited an entire night by a roadside parking lot to capture this stunning dawn scene. The aerial shot depicts a desolate road in Tibet with erosion gullies extending outwards on both sides of the road to form the shape of a large tree.
“The diversity of images from around the world gave a glimpse into our fragile planet and all the life that inhabits it. The contest itself was a mesmerizing odyssey and we are left with a profound message of how interconnected all of us are and what it means to our own survival to intermingle with wildness.“ —Ami Vitale, Guest Judge
This year’s photography contest featured a new Climate category, which provided photographers with the opportunity to capture the devastating effects of climate change on communities and ecosystems worldwide and inspire hope through images of local solutions and collective action. The winning entry in this category was taken by Sandesh Kadur from India and features the Sarada superba lizard at a wind farm in Satara, India. Researchers believe the wind farm has led to behavioral and morphological changes in the lizard due to reduced predation.
In addition to the global entries, the exhibition also includes a dedicated “Hong Kong Highlights” section, displaying selected past entries from local photography enthusiasts. These photographs showcase the natural beauty of Hong Kong’s urban landscapes and serve as a reminder to the public to cherish and protect them.
TNC believes photography can help save the world. According to Lulu Zhou, Director, Strategic Partnerships (Asia Pacific) and Hong Kong Program Lead at The Nature Conservancy, “These photographs from around the world show our profound interconnectedness with each other and this beautiful planet. A single photograph can reveal nature’s endless beauty but also the challenges we face. These images awaken our infinite wonder for the natural world and remind us of our responsibility to protect the lands and waters that allow future generations to inhabit the world shown in these compelling photographs and continue to enjoy the splendor of nature.“
During the exhibition, TNC will provide visitors with beautifully designed wildlife postcards that they can send or display to share their love of nature in a unique and meaningful way. Visitors can write heartfelt messages about their passion for the environment and mail the postcards to themselves, loved ones, friends or family. Simply fill out the postcard and drop it in the designated mailbox at the exhibition. TNC will help mail them out. This simple act allows visitors to spread their love for nature and inspire others to take action to protect our precious planet.
The Nature Conservancy is organizing the “Nature’s Canvas AR challenge” to encourage the public to unleash their creativity. This contest combines AR technology with the beauty of nature to showcase an ideal healthy natural environment. To participate, simply visit the exhibition and position camera in front of the exhibition title board near the entrance, follow the instructions to complete your artwork, and share it to your social media platforms with the hashtag #natures_canvas and tag @tnc_hk.

EAGLE-eyed nature photographers from Rugby have been named among the winners of a county-wide competition.
Amanda Graham’s perfectly-timed photo Kestrel on Footpath Sign has won the Wild Images – People and Nature photography competition.
And fellow Rugbeian Simon Wiltshire’s Fox Dew – an atmospheric portrait of a fox in the morning dew – came third.
The competition was launched by Warwickshire photo printing company CEWE in partnership with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to celebrate the beauty of wildlife and the environment, with entrants looking to share uplifting images of the great outdoors.
Lindsay Butler, Director of Marketing and Fundraising at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, said: “Photography is a great way to connect with nature and show how beautiful our local environment is. Choosing the winning images was no easy task as there were so many eye-catching submissions.
“We hope these photos help people feel closer to nature, motivate them to get out and experience our great outdoors and inspire them to take positive action for wildlife, like becoming a member of Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.”
Dale Orton, Head of Photo Culture at CEWE UK, said the company was always keen to partner with organisations to support a shared cause.
He added: “The best wildlife images are captured when we’re doing our best not to encroach upon it. We have a responsibility to create a positive relationship with nature, where we can capture the beauty of it while preserving that beauty in the process – something these images have certainly shown.”
Winner Amanda Graham received a £150 CEWE voucher, with a £100 voucher going to second-placed Coventry man Neil Porter for his image of a butterfly, and a £50 voucher to third-placed Simon Wiltshire.
Entrants to the competition also had the chance to enter their photos into the CEWE Photo Award, the words largest photography competition.
The jury, chaired by world-renowned Swiss fashion and nature photographer Michel Comte, will choose the 1,000 best shots submitted from across the globe for a share of prizes totalling more than £210,000.
