If you think of all the different perspectives there are out there, isn't it nice to know there's always more? Check out Tim Flach for total inspriation.

 

Photograph by Ben Hall.

Ben Hall has an excellent eye for photography...but superb timing as well! Imagine how many hours he had to wait to capture some of these insane images?! Another amazing aspect of his work is thinking that all this...nature...is really out there. That reminder is pivitol.

National Geographic has a cool section on their site called "Animal Records". This Impala can jump up to a height of up to 10 feet (3m) up and leap a distance of 33 feet (10m)! See more...

Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits are the most commonly surrendered Animals at US pet shelters. There are many different reasons Humans leave or have to leave their pets, but Rabbits have a consistent complaint, their owner has "lost interest".

What once was cute, is now just...smelly. It can happen as early as day four, when you realize not many Rabbits enjoy being picked up (perhaps reminding them of becoming a Hawk's lunch), they like to have their own space, and they definitely don't do well with processed Human food (which we love to feed them but have troubles taking them to the vet when they're sick from it). All of a sudden, the TV is way more fun than chasing a frightened Rabbit out from under the couch.

To help clarify the cute Bunny/good pet debate, YDB has created another website specifically for domesticated Rabbits and their Humans, (with a little Science woven in, of course;). What do they eat? Can I compost their waste? Is it good to adopt? Where can I get one? Should I breed my Rabbits?...all these questions and a great sidebar list of clickable "Do's and Don'ts" make FuzBunz.com worthy of a visit from you or a Bunny-loving friend. Check it out today, if anything, you'll get a good dose of Serotonin!

The British Wildlife Photography Awards are now open for submission! Ahhh! I cannot wait to see the results!!

You may have already seen this video of a wild Dolphin 'asking' a scuba diver for help removing a pesky (and deadly) hook and line, but it may be worth a second watch. How many times a day does an Animal interact with you? Keep a special eye out for their attempts to communicate during this time!

"Kim has been filming African wild dogs at Zimbabwe’s Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve for more than four years. He knows one pack intimately. ‘I have travelled with them, on foot, in the pack itself, running with them as they hunt. It’s a privilege, and it’s given me a true insight into their life.’

African wild dogs require huge territories, and so protecting them can protect entire ecosystems. When this picture was taken, the pack had travelled four kilometres to the Sosigi Pan, only to find it totally dried up. ‘The mosaic of mud seemed to epitomise the increasingly fragmented world this puppy is growing up in.'"

Great tips on Wildlife photography on my favorite Tripod provider's website, Manfrotto.

With images that astound, the Natural History Museum's latest photographic competition is still one of the best sources to find superb views of nature.

Human-made Land Bridges are a great way for road-weary Animals to cross over our roadways. Though they're rare, well-made ones can vastly reduce the death toll in areas where they're used. In honor of these thoughtful feats of engineering, the printers at SustainabiliTee are releasing a new design called "Support Land Bridges". Check it out today!

Whenever I injure my thumb, I'm reminded of what makes us and Gorillas like this one, so different from most other Mammels. Imagining other Animals with opposable thumbs is the next thought, followed by "Would they be doing the same thumby activities as us?"

"...Seconds later the camel set off in a run down the dunes, its feet sinking into the sand. It vanished behind the dunes, leaving me with this picture and the most awe-inspiring memories of Socotra."

Photographs by Ulrika Kestere.

A good friend introduced me to this unfathomably imaginative beauty, Ulrika Kestere.

Ephemoral things are often hard to depict, yet, with one short series of photos, we are transformed to another reality, the one we can appreciate already, and the one we can create within our minds. It has been a long while since I dreamt of Horses, grasses, and oceans...it was spectacular. Join me tonight?

Also, check out her Animals and Landscapes section, even portraits so diverse (yet so focused)!
