Wildlife Pictures

A variety of wildlife images, pictures and photos captured from around the world, are showcased in this gallery.

Wildlife from Canada is featured as part of this collection. From Canada's arctic, view images of Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, Seals, Wolves and Caribou. There are photographs of whales from the Pacific Ocean, and land mammals from North America such as Elk, Bighorn Sheep, Buffalo, Black Bear and Mountain Lion.

Other photographs include rare creatures from the Galapagos Islands such as Giant Tortoises and Marine Iguanas. There are images of exotic species like Cheetahs, Monkeys, Wart Hogs and more, and pictures of birds like the magestic Bald Eagle.

Photographers face great challenges in capturing the essence of birds, mammals and other wildlife. Wildlife is always in motion, and the photographer aims to portray the activities of feeding, hunting, or flying.

Close-up portraits of wildlife reveal features of each individual, including facial expressions and detailed textures and colours of fur or feathers. Images taken from a distance give the viewer a sense of the natural habitat and landscape that is the wildlife's home.
