Wild animals, though magnificent, usually can only be watched by us from afar. Which is why pictures taken by Pedro Jarque Krebs leave such a big impression. The award-winning Peruvian photographer captures different species of wild creatures in a way that feels very up close and intimate. It wouldn’t be too hard to mistake these portraits for paintings!

Krebs also draws attention to extinction problems like the fact that more than half of our planet’s animal populations have been wiped out in the last 50 years. Scroll down to see the amazing work by this artist.

The coloring is beautiful, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a tiger like that.

    Cassowary? I want to see one. These animals are really dangerous though. They kick out at chest height on men. Have triangular shaped toes that can punch a hole in your chest.

    Blue and Gold (or yellow) Macaw. S. American. Very big, very loud and proud, beautiful and fun. Oh, did I mention that beak has the pressure to snap a broomstick, easily. It’s impressive to watch but you will involuntarily take several steps back once they snap it.

    Peacocks must have evolved in safe places? Cannot see how they could easily escape if a predator pounced on them? Cannot be handy for a quick escape?
