The last month has been a busy one with lots of great new material added to the site. African wildlife features strongly, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, baboons and buffalo - both portraits and behaviour. You'll also find a great range of birds from all parts of the world and in all seasons.
And we are delighted to represent the unique work of Joel Sartore/Photo Ark, with a striking range of studio portraits of the world's cat species, many of them rare and endangered. The Photo Ark project was started by Sartore in 2005, with the goal to show the world what biodiversity actually looks like and get everyone to care about saving species while there’s still time. His aim was to create a series of portraits, made as simply and cleanly as possible, that would give us all a chance to look animals directly in the eye and see that there’s beauty, grace, and intelligence in the other creatures we share the planet with. Black and white backgrounds level the playing field - in these portraits, all animals are equals.
Look out also for great landscapes, fabulous fungi and frogs, weird spiders, erupting volcanoes and an intriguing set of Spanish bird murals.
