The National Park of American Samoa is spread across the islands of Tutuila, Ofu and Ta‘ū, and its wildlife is unlike anything in the parks on the U.S. mainland. Its rainforest is dominated by fruit-bearing trees, and the park’s flying foxes, large fruit bats that soar over the mountains, are vital pollinators that help keep that forest healthy.
Forest birds include honeyeaters and tropical doves and pigeons. The cardinal honeyeater and the wattled honeyeater are both easy to see, and the Samoan starling is found only in the Samoan islands. Terns, boobies, frigatebirds, petrels and shearwaters come to the islands to breed, and the black skink is among the park’s reptiles. Under the surface, the park’s coral reefs hold the greatest marine biodiversity of any U.S. national park, with more than 800 native fish species and 200 coral species.

Wildlife Photography Tips
Wildlife photography in the US National Parks offers a unique and enriching experience, as these protected areas are havens for diverse species and pristine natural landscapes. Capturing wildlife in such settings requires preparation and respect for both the environment and its inhabitants. Photographers should familiarize themselves with the specific animals and ecosystems of the park they are visiting, as each park hosts different species and behaviors. Early mornings and late afternoons, known as the golden hours, provide the best light and increased wildlife activity. Different seasons also offer different wildlife viewing opportunities. Patience and stillness are key, as the best moments often come to those who wait quietly.
If wildlife does present itself, always make sure to maintain a safe distance. Using a telephoto lens allows for close-up shots without intruding on the animals’ space. If you already own or want to own a professional grade mirrored camera like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Full Frame Digital SLR, we recommend using a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens zoom lens for wildlife photography. If you have or are interested in a newer mirrorless model like the Canon EOS R5 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera, we recommend using a Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM Black for long distance shots.
Not quite ready to invest in traditional professional-grade camera equipment but want to enhance the quality of your cell phone photographs? Consider using a Moment Tele 58mm Mobile Lens II for improved reach, and use a Moment camera case with a lens mount to attach it to your phone. Since cell phones generally cannot provide the same reach as a dedicated telephoto camera lens, never compensate by moving dangerously close to wildlife. As with any visit to a national park, it’s important to follow park regulations, practice “Leave No Trace” principles, and prioritize safety while photographing wildlife.
