Wild: Endangered Animals in Living Motion

Rate this book
A new addition to the blockbuster Photicular series, WILD is an up-close, in-motion look at some of the world's most critically endangered species. Eight full-color Photicular images show animals in motion.

Come face to face with our vanishing wildlife. Using unique Photicular technology, Wild brings to vivid life the animals who are under threat of extinction. It turns abstract numbers and names into touching and unforgettable images.

From the cover panda, lazily munching on leaves, to an albatross swooping its magnificent wings, to the hovering bumblebee, among the most critical of threatened animals in terms of its effect on the global food supply, Wild captures eight endangered animals in living motion. We see gorillas at play, a rhinoceros and its baby trotting across the savanna, a pangolin skittering along the landscape, an elephant bathing in a river.

An opening essay explores the environmental and economic threats to animal populations and how conservationists are working to slow—and when they can, reverse—the damage. Profiles of each animal accompany the images.

Wild joins four other books in the Photicular series—Safari, Ocean, Polar, and Jungle.

I hope we never see these beautiful creatures vanish.
Also, if I've learnt anything from this book, it's that Folk medicine is the worst f#cking thing, just stop it, please.
