The animal kingdom is endlessly amazing and fascinating and shows an incredible amount of diversity in form, function, and behavior. As if this in itself were not enough the animals of our planet live across an incredibly varied spectrum of environment—everywhere from the hottest sands to the arctic regions, and the driest desert to the wettest rainforest, as well as from the lowest to the highest elevation. Wild Animals shows how well the animal kingdom has adapted and evolved to make the most of all these very different and often very challenging environments. Land animals range in size from tiny microbes to large mammals like giraffes and elephants, while the animals that populate the sea range in size from microscopic plankton right up to enormous whales; the smallest creatures that live up in the air are microscopic insects, while the largest are birds like eagles and vultures.

Many of these amazing creatures are very elusive and it is only through spectacular photography of work like Wild Animals that we can admire and really appreciate such incredible animals.

The more we come to understand and appreciated wild animals the better the chance for their long term survival—and that of mankind as well. Many of these creatures are on the brink of disappearing through the erosion and exploitation of their habitat and it is up to us to become their guardians and protectors and it is through such inspirational work as Wild Animals that their hope for a successful future lies.
