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.

Cat and mouse photo was one of my favourites! And yeah, they are truly and utterly astonishingly amazing! :):D
V, 28 October 2010
I agree, I especially love that the mouse is holding a goldfish cracker in it’s dainty little mouth.
Pixzii, 20 January 2010

Jordan Walker, 20 January 2010
The wonders of this beautiful planet are composed of the creatures which inhabit it.

Beth, 17 August 2010
your baby is very cute, very Colin.
Kai, 20 January 2010
Amazing ! Thanks.
Tony, 20 January 2010
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.
Phill, 20 January 2010
Very nice pictures!!
Mike Ward, 20 January 2010
Very tidy!!!!
shutterboo, 20 January 2010

Vidit Kothari, 20 January 2010
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 !!!
Callum Chapman, 20 January 2010
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!
Brent, 26 January 2010
Or knowing how to use PhotoShop.
Connie Girl, 29 April 2010
shuddup Brent. Its obvious that this person didn’t use photoshop.
fandango, 27 October 2010
looks at some of the photos, its almost imposible to get motion blur like that with even a high end slr camera… and where on the planet (relating to the very first photo) does there exsist a place where animals are visibel with a complety black backdrop???.
jay k, 01 June 2010
These are def shopped
Connie Girl likes the V, 07 June 2010
Clearly this is photoshoped, I can tell by some of the pixels
Beth, 17 August 2010
see, us old farts remember a time when we used to believe a photograph.
jd, 08 September 2010
I changed my desktop background to the black cat photo.

dlv, 20 January 2010
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
Me, 15 October 2010
You need to learn English before you post anything else.
Web4half, 20 January 2010
Awesome….
Dratio, 20 January 2010
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.
MissingDesign, 20 January 2010
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.
kendall, 20 January 2010
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
Yegor Korzh, 20 January 2010
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!
manz, 20 January 2010
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!
jase, 25 July 2010
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.
Daniel Ulczyk, 20 January 2010
Cool pics! Nice…
Anna, 20 January 2010
Wow. Really amazing photography.
slacle, 20 January 2010
Amazing! Must get me a camera.
sobean, 20 January 2010

Aidan, 21 January 2010

Steffi, 21 January 2010
Love the rhino.
Sarah Lynn, 21 January 2010
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!
Dariyn, 11 May 2010
That’s a kiwi, actually. :P
elena, 15 May 2010
Actually its too big to be a kiwi and also it has wings which a kiwi doesnt.
Baby King peguin i would say:

Tom Ross, 21 January 2010
Some of these photos aren’t all that dramatic, but a lot of them are amazing. I love the first photo.

Wow… This is breathtaking! Almost makes me want to be a wildlife photographer…. Almost.
Kelsey, 25 January 2010
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?
carlos Eduardo - Kadu, 26 January 2010

Amardeep Singh, 08 February 2010

Grover, 24 March 2010
I’ve seen a few of these elsewhere but they’re awesome nonetheless. Nice collection.
Debra, 24 March 2010
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.
Spiderman, 02 July 2010
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.
Minty, 25 March 2010
