People often think great wildlife photos require helicopters, exotic expeditions, or equipment that costs a fortune. I don’t have any of that. I’m a wildlife photographer from Macedonia — no teams, no big budgets. Just patience, instinct, and a genuine connection with animals.
And somehow, the moments I capture have made their way to National Geographic, CNN, Daily Mail, The Times, and media outlets around the world. Not because I travel the globe… but because I understand the animals I photograph.
Here is a collection of moments that didn’t need a helicopter — only heart, timing, and trust.
Scroll down and meet the souls behind the fur and feathers.

Absolutely lovely serval. From Wiki: "The serval (Leptailurus serval) is a wild small cat native to Africa. It is widespread in sub-Saharan countries, where it inhabits grasslands, wetlands, moorlands and bamboo thickets. Across its range, it occurs in protected areas, and hunting it is either prohibited or regulated in range countries. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus. Three subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, medium-sized cat that stands 54–62 cm (21–24 in) tall at the shoulder and has a weight range of approximately 9–18 kg (20–40 lb). It is characterised by a small head, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its body size."

Beautiful and terrifying. Also they look quite different from the yellow variant.

Tigers are so lovely and so HUGE. From Wiki: "Since the early 20th century, tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and are locally extinct in West and Central Asia, in large areas of China and on the islands of Java and Bali. Today, the tiger's range is severely fragmented. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, as its range is thought to have declined by 53% to 68% since the late 1990s. Major threats to tigers are habitat destruction and fragmentation due to deforestation, poaching for fur and the illegal trade of body parts for medicinal purposes. Tigers are also victims of human–wildlife conflict as they attack and prey on livestock in areas where natural prey is scarce."

I know how nasty those bites can be. You need to respect horses if you spend any time around them.

They are no joke, my mom was bitten by one of our horses, it tore the muscle and skin nearly completely off her forearm. Even the ER staff said "omg, a horse did this?." She had bad scarring for the rest of her life.

Caracals are gorgeous. From Wiki: "The caracal is a wild cat native to Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and arid areas of Pakistan and northwestern India. It is characterised by a robust build, long legs, a short face, long tufted ears, relatively short tail, and long canine teeth. Its coat is uniformly reddish tan or sandy, while the ventral parts are lighter with small reddish markings. It reaches 40–50 cm at the shoulder and weighs 8–19 kg. It was first scientifically described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Three subspecies are recognised. Typically nocturnal, the caracal is highly secretive and difficult to observe. It is territorial, and lives mainly alone or in pairs. The caracal is a carnivore that typically preys upon birds, rodents, and other small mammals. It can leap higher than 3.0 m and catch birds in midair. It stalks its prey until it is within 5 m of it, after which it runs it down and kills it with a bite to the throat."

If I was in charge of the universe I would have leopards, cheetahs, and snow leopards for visitors, with the occasional tiger quoll.

People ID tigers by their eye markings, and I was surprised that when I fell in love with a particular tiger in India, I could pick him out from almost any photo of a tiger and identify him without a shadow of a doubt. Sadly he died a few years ago, but I still have a lot of photos of him. Ed.: OK, just looked it up and he was Sitara (T-28) from the Ranthambor Tiger Reserve in India. Couldn't miss those markings ANYwhere.

Actually they are identified via their pattern of stripes which are as individual as finger prints.

Eurasian griffin vulture. From Wiki: "Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes."

OMG, there is that stunning baby 'roo again! Good thing I am not near it because I would want to scoop it up, and I know that mama wouldn't want me anywhere near her little one. She would then proceed to calmly dismember me piece by piece. But for one little precious hug . . .
