The fox :- clever, alert, wise.
Soft fur you want to stroke but a wild independance that says you’d better not.
The powerfully unpredictable aligator . . .
might lie still for days, then move in an instant.
It could only be the tropics, with the toucans extraordinary bill and strong colors.
You can almost smell the jungle!
The mandrill . . . reminds us of ourselves in some ways yet at the same time
beyond human comprehension in its wildness and strangeness.
Safe and warm in mothers protection.
Polar bear :- the most powerful hunter in its region yet a tender and gentle mother.
Alert for the slightest sound . . . perfectly still yet poised ready to
spring into action in an instant.
Beautiful and superbly adapted to its arctic life,
with warm soft plumage and silent flight.
The young stag biding its time with dreams of its future,
it’s antlers steadily growing into the armoury it will need to make its challenges
when the time comes.
Intensely curious and wise in the ways of their survival,
the wolf pack working togther with intelligence and cunning.
The bald eagle . . . proud, capable, with a bill that can rip flesh from bones,
ideally suited to its life in the challenge of the north.
You can almost feel the tropical heat from this image,
with the flamingoes extraordinary bright reds and pinks, and astounding shape.
