If you are a dog (or look like one) and you’re looking for a photographer, look no further! Carli Davidson is both an internationally recognized award winning photographer and an experienced animal trainer and caretaker. For her series “Shake“, Carli photographed dogs shaking off water to create distorted expressions like half-grimace, half-smiles that are familiar to many dog owners, but when caught on camera, the dogs look incredibly strange and funny.

They say you are what you eat, and it’s especially true with the translucent ants. Scientist Mohamed Babu from Mysore, India, placed specially colored sugar drops in his garden to attract the weird insects his wife found near the house sipping the spilled milk.

Born and raised in New Orleans La, USA, Craig Tracy has always been an artist. A graduate with honors from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Craig was a professional Freelance Illustrator by the age of twenty. Actually, he hated being an illustrator, so he retired from illustration 6 years later. Only then he fell in love with body painting, and now he’s one of the most famous body painting artists in the world.

We’ve already featured a huge collection of breathtaking bird photos by John&Fish about a year ago, however our number of subscribers has grown seven-fold from that time, so most of you guys probably haven’t had a chance to see it. John&Fish is one of the most popular ornithology photography teams around Flickr, and we are more than happy to share their incredible bird photographs with you.

Povodokus sports a gun-shaped handle, which retracts the leash when you need to control your target dog. It’s a sure shot! The lead goes out freely as the dog pulls and reels in when you pull the trigger.

What you are about to see is not a wildlife photography! It’s called “Handimals” – stunning hand painting illusions. Meet Guido Daniele, an Italian artist who is behind this incredible collection…

Birds are social animals – they communicate using visual signals, calls and songs, participate in social behaviors including cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, and mobbing of predators. Unfortunately, we rarely get to see these fascinating moments of their lives, but thanks to photographers we can get finally closer to them (especially with big, heavy 500mm lenses running for between $5,000 and $9,000).

Camouflage is not just about chameleons changing their colors in an instant but it’s also about polar bears being white and not brown like the grizzlies. In fact, a zebra with its striped covering is a camouflage animal. However, there are exceptions: animals which are dangerous to eat (e.g. wasps) advertise with warning colouration.

The wonderful world of insects contains some of the most bizarre-looking creatures in existence and caterpillars are not an exception. Actually, a caterpillar is a young butterfly or moth that has just hatched out of its egg. Their look varies from scary to cute, but they always grab my attention when I find one in my garden.

Meet Nicholas Hendrickx, a super creative guy and photographer from Belgium. He calls himself a perfectionist with great patience, but in the end Nicholas thinks the main thing that matters is having a lot of fun. Looking back to his career it’s really hard to tell what made him popular – his skills, or an excellent performance of a professional fly model “Mr. Fly”. And if you think that it was animal torture – read on.

No matter how powerful God seems to be, he sometimes just runs out of paint (melanin), and every time this happens an albino animal is born. Albino animals are rare in nature, and a man always had a fascination for these creatures since ancient times. Some cultures considered albinos as sacred animals,while others – as demoniac ones, but I’m sure you will find it very educating to see this list of 26 weird albino animals.

People often ask, who is the most beautiful spider in the world?

You are lucky, because I know the answer – it’s the Jumping Spider! (a.k.a Salticidae) I have to admit, I’m being a bit subjective here, because there haven’t been any spider beauty contests yet.

This little spider disprove the stereotype about spiders being ugly and scary (anyone with arachnophobia here?)
