Sometimes we take wildlife pictures that we see in books and magazines for granted; seldom does it give you the impressions that they were taken easily. The truth is, photographing animals (especially in wildlife) is very involved, such a moment could only be told through some timely amazing shots. For someone who loves animals, photographing them can be both very fulfilling and frustrating at the same time. Excellent animal photography requires experience, knowledge and patience.
Animals can make very eye catching subjects to photograph in wild. Taking wildlife photography in a place where the animals don’t fear humans makes your task a bit difficult. In their natural environment, animals often provide many opportunities for taking dramatic shots. Let’s now take a look at some of these dramatic images of animal photography to see emotions in the wild nature.

Awesome Photography !! well done
Wow, stunning! I love the cat/mouse photo.
i love your moms photo ;) (winky face)
awesome pictures!!
That’s just unnecessary.
u r just unnesecessary…
*You
*Are
*Unnecessary
Your horrible spelling is unnecessary.
Honey, don’t talk to the poor man’s mom like that. ;) (douchebag-winky face.)
I think it is quite necessary
anon posting never works out well
Cool roundup. I like most of them
This is incrediable !!!!! I’m a photographer but i still do not know how make same photos
The wonders of this beautiful planet are composed of the creatures which inhabit it.
true that
Really awesome! There is nothing more fantastic than our nature. And think about, how long it takes to get those photos! Great
I vote for the one with the owl! Awesome photography.
Great collection of images. Too many good ones to pick the best.
Awesome compilation.
You forgot the dramatic picture of my Schnauzer:

thats a great pic too x x
your baby is very cute, very Colin.
Amazing ! Thanks.
The snake one is from a Fark Photoshop contest, but the funny thing about that is that it’s less interesting than some of the ones that are clearly real photos. Some great stuff here.
Very nice pictures!!
Very tidy!!!!
Love the snail.
the snails amazing!
Hats-off to nature’s creation and the one who captured it for us to see.
These pics are sufficient for people to love nature and help it HEAL.
NATURE CALLS FOR AID !!!
These are absolutely incredible. I love them all, but especially love the black cat – it’s all about being in the right place at the right time I guess! Thanks!
Or knowing how to use PhotoShop.
shuddup Brent. Its obvious that this person didn’t use photoshop.
These are def shopped
Clearly this is photoshoped, I can tell by some of the pixels
see, us old farts remember a time when we used to believe a photograph.
Incredible images! The one with the eagle is awesome.
Very nice collection. My favorite is no. 7 :)
Awesome! I like all of this collection. Excellent work.
Some are really amazing, but a few are photoshop jobs. Overall great collection. Cheers!
increíbles!!!!!!!!!
Really awesome pictures and pretty cool animals!! Excellent work, thumbs up!
terrific :)
Absolutely phenomenal! Great work!
Fabulous Collection.. Great Post :)
Awesome photos! Great post!
:X
great collection! as always
but, today I have to tell… Where are photographer’s names ??
Please, waste some minutes and add their names, they are more than the half of this pieces of art, is their work….
thanks in advance
Awesome….
All and all very nice photo’s. I have one remark though: The photo of the snake attacking the bird is fake. I don’t know whether it was the post author’s intention to only show real photo’s or not, but that one for sure isn’t one. Seen how the same snakehead has been applied to more photo’s.
Wow, those were some amazing shots.
The one of the cat & mouse was cool, and I loved the dramatic lighting on the housecats, lol.
@Dratio Do you have other examples w/the snakehead? That’s interesting, I wouldn’t be surprised though… That shot would have had to be a one-in-a-trillion chance.
ummm i love almost all of the pictures but the one with the Yorkie pittbull/mixed well i like the yorkie cute cute cute but the picture isnt very much proffesional which is what i recall they wanted
First image is the best, haven’t seen it in other recent similar collections. And agree that photoshopped images are less interesting than some real ones!
Noticed a few comments about the fake snake picture. Might be best to separate real from photoshopped in the future.
I thought the snail picture was amazing. And I never pass up the sight of a gorgeous kitty photo!
It’s not long before there is no difference between a photo that is Photoshopped and one that isn’t. Several cameras are integrating algorithms derived from Photoshop to enhance a picture as it is being recorded. Should those be separate as well? Not. Who cares, really? These photos are no less beautiful because they are created rather than captured.
Cool pics! Nice…
Wow. Really amazing photography.
Amazing! Must get me a camera.
Awesome Photography!!! :-)
I love animal photography. check this funny picture of my pug called “Caramelle”: http://andrislinz.ch/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/caramelle1.jpg
that is a pretty adorable picture!
These are really awe-inspiring photos. Especially for a animal lover like me.
Love the rhino.
The little penguin is saying “Where can I buy sneaks like those? What a lucky penguin!” Haha. Each of these photographs have so much to say! The bison photo is incredible as well. Seems so surreal. Thanks for sharing!
That’s a kiwi, actually. :P
Actually its too big to be a kiwi and also it has wings which a kiwi doesnt.
Baby King peguin i would say:

A kiwi looks like this:

Some of these photos aren’t all that dramatic, but a lot of them are amazing. I love the first photo.
Great samples.
May I add this one too?

extraordinary artistic talent…thank you
Wow… This is breathtaking! Almost makes me want to be a wildlife photographer…. Almost.
Glad I found your site. Amazing work! On a side note – is it odd that every time I see a little bird about to be eaten I suddenly think of Twitter?

awww, baby harpseal
Oh wow, nice photos. Interesting stuff.
(:
excellent collection!
i love the one with the 2 birds with crazy hair looking in opposite directions. it almost looks like one face. i like the one with the white tiger and the monkey, too. they’re all good.
Amazing….but the Cat & Mouse one does not seem real…becos of the bone in the mouse’s mouth…That looks like the artist’s creativity….
And you are very handsome….
wow. this is stunning. nature never fails to amaze me
it’s really cute.
Great photographs..
Gr8 Photo man.nice Work…………!
Simply Awesome. Damn good photography. Loved it.
amaizing pics.
Cool. Expecially nice kittens ^_^
haha, some of the photos are totally photoshopped, the mouse and cheese? how totally awesome photoshopping skills, try harder next time
I’ve seen a few of these elsewhere but they’re awesome nonetheless. Nice collection.
I believe the one with the two dogs chasing the rabbit is a still from a movie- unfortunately I can’t think of what movie it is, and I just watched it a few days ago. *blonde moment*
Otherwise very nice collection of photos. I love the tiger rising up out of the water.
Yeah I thought that too. The movie is Snatch. Though I’m not sure if it’s a still from the movie, it is very similar.
that is soooo awesome!! you got me inspired ;)
Those pics are amazing if anyone knows how those were taken plz let me no
really wonderful,nature has checks at all levels.
Its a Great Job done ! WELL DONE !
Very pretty, very stunning. A good deal of these get the effect in edit, but still very, very good!

It would be rare to see anything like the reality captured in those shots. … so cool.
These are wonderful photos and took a lot of time to take. These are not just a one shot time, usually. Thank you for sharing them. Yes I love the cat and mouse one too.

felicidades !!
I am loving these photos man… cute animals too ;)
nice pictures ! ty for your share
Wonderful, beautiful, fair nations most
I LOVE THE ONE WITH THE BIRD LOOKING AT HUMAN FOOTPRINTS. Sad and cute.
As I see from the comments from the source sites, most of them are photoshoped. Or are they all ?
Some of the most breathtaking examples of wildlife photography I have ever seen. A marvelous presentation.
wtf!!!why is that wolf on a chain at all.who’s letting dogs near him.lett’im off n see what’s up.looks cruel to me.outside of that lovely photos
Amazing! I like the monkey and white tiger one.
Awesome…
wow! great collection, love the bird looking at human footsteps.
some of them are so obviously photoshopped though …
Awesome pictures ouaaaaa !!!!!!!!
i want to be the tiger in ice… am ready to give all :)
is the cat mouse photoshopped though??!!??
Wish the poster would actually track down the source. The cat and mouse picture source leads to another “Best Dramatic Wildlife” post with no credit given. Disgusting cannibalism of content no one creates.
You definitely could have left out the picture with the wolf and the white dog.
Wow! That’s all I can say what a genius job on those photos I can’t even select the best one just awe inspiring!
People always have a negative outlook on photoshop. Yea it can degrade a photo to nothing, but it’s all apart of what you can do creatively to a photo. Creativity is creativity and you can’t knock that. In conclusion I say as artists we should give the author more praise just in his efforts to create something outside the box. It takes a lot of guts to be original in this world.
I liked the one with the white tigers and the chimp.
Fantastic Images.
The penguin looking at prints is very pretty.
I also love the snake moving to strike taken from the front. This must have been dangerous.
Wonderful pictures. I just tweet-ed your site!
amazing!!
very amazings.
Magnificent photos!!
What Beautiful Animals, Excellent photography, just goes to show we have lots to look after in this Beautiful World!!! Before we Destroy it all
Espectaculares fotos, debemos respetar a estos seres tan hermosos que comparten nuestro mundo porque es de ellos también :)
Hi
What Beautiful Animals, Excellent photography, nice work……………………………………………………………………………………….
hmm really amaizing..i just love animals
wow… breathtaking
salut!
Wow,the snake and bird picture is just stunning!
I was bothered by the “wolf attacking dog” pic, until I saw the source. Turns out the wolf was reacting to being attacked by the white dog (and one other) while chained down. So, I don’t know who to root for (and would rather not have to “root” for either.)
Most of these are NOT wild animals…
I dare someone to get that close to a wild tiger or male lion. Depicting these animals as wild does a disservice to the conservation efforts because people think the wild animals are cute and approachable.
The details at the beginning are very helpful if you do animal photography, and the photographs themselves are just drop-dead amazing. I just wish that they would add the camera’s names that they took the photograph, with.
GREAT!! FANTASTIC!! AWESOME!!!
Many things have to combine: a good camera, a nice day and being in the right place at the right time!!
Thanks for the share!
