Julien Nonnon is a French artist who, since the beginning of this September, has been projecting "graffiti" in the form of wild animals in a hipster guise onto the streets of Paris. Random passers-by are absolutely delighted with the "Urban Safari" project...

Endangered species rarely make headlines or become the subject of widespread debate, but the illegal poaching of superstar lions, the protected black-maned king of animals, Cecil, a trademark of Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, has brought the world to its feet. The pain of losing him seems as great as the death of Mufasa in The Lion King for the children, except that it happened for real. The Discovery Channel used the public's attention to raise awareness about endangered species and illuminated the New York skyscraper Empire State Building with images of 160 endangered species, including the late Cecil the lion.
Most animals are difficult to capture in the lens as we wanted. Either they are shy or too dangerous to get close to, or they are on another continent or simply too fast for our lens. But not quite all. We also have those who pose as professionals, as photo models. These animals seem to have posing in their little finger like it's something they do every day. Top!… models.
Our planet is full of almighty colorful wonders that hide in various corners of nature, and all artists and designers are well aware of this, as they often draw inspiration for their works from the beauty and creativity of nature. The Russian artist Liliya Hudyakova is also aware of this, and she created a series of photographs of incredible dresses, which, in her opinion, were inspired by the beauty of nature.
We humans are not the only ones whose jaws drop to the floor when something shocks us, when something amazes us and when we say to ourselves, "What the hell?!" We don't know what these amazed animals actually witnessed, but they almost certainly all went to drama school OMG Cat (her real name is Chocolate), who in 2010 became world famous with a dislocated jaw that made her look shocked like a character in Edvard Munch's The Scream.
It's not just humans who enjoy driving a car. Although some dogs do not tolerate driving very well, four-wheelers are loved by many four-legged furries. Unlike us, they don't need much to have fun, an open window and some wind is enough. Indeed, you will be hard-pressed to find a happier animal companion than a dog. Proof of this is the series of photos "Dogs in Cars", captured in an innovative way by photographer Lara Jo Regan.
Pets often become our best friends. Sometimes we get so attached to them that we even become like them. Or they to us. Either way, here are the house pets that bear an uncanny resemblance to their owners.
Pakistani wildlife photographer Atif Saeed recently had a close encounter with a lion. He managed to capture the experience, which could quickly end tragically, in the lens. The sight of a lion staring at him like prey is downright terrifying. But all for a good photo. He recorded these at a zoo safari in the city of Lahore, Pakistan.
Did you know that rats can also be extremely cute pets? Unfortunately, these rodents do not receive the love they deserve, as they have a very bad reputation among people. We associate them with dirt and disgust, which is partly to blame for their historical role in the spread of the plague. But on the other hand, domesticated rats clean like cats, are extremely quick to learn and are "to be devoured".
Animals often surprise us, because they are able to create friendships that we would never expect. We are even more moved when they fall asleep together with their unexpected friends.
"Amelia And The Animals" is a collection of photos of a little lover of (exotic) animals, which her mother, Robin Schwartz, has been capturing in her photographic lens since she was three years old. The professional photographer started photographing her daughter in the company of exotic animals in 2002 and, in addition to various animals, over the years she also immortalized her daughter's upbringing. The series of photos of the little animal lover "Amelia And The Animals" definitely convinces that some people have an incredible feeling for animals...
The importance we attach to the moment when we look into the eyes of someone or something is very powerful. And it's no wonder that creatures with two different eye colors fascinate us so much. It is the so-called heterochromia, which is quite rare in humans, but occurs much more in the animal world, especially in cats. See incredibly beautiful animals with two different eye colors.
