We've added some fantastic material to our site over the last 2 months, including many rare and unique images. Highlights include birds of paradise by Tim Laman, the first photographer to shoot all the species, Chinese wildlife by Xi Zhinong with many rare species from the Tibetan plateau, forest elephants, chimps and lowland gorillas from Central Africa, and dramatic blue whales and humpbacks by Doc White.
