38 year old photographer Hannes Lochner, from Cape Town South Africa, has been observing wildlife in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for the last 2 ½ years. His remarkable photographs have now been published in a new book titled "Colours of the Kalahari." As with most wildlife photographers, Hannes often had to go the extra mile to get the best photo. Having temperatures as high as 40 C during the day and below freezing at night, Hannes had to brave extreme conditions to get the right shot.

This dog is waiting for its master. I am shocked. I haven’t seen anything like this before!!!

This is what you get when you make a picture of zoo animals at the right place in the right time. Have a little patience – and you’ll capture funny and truly amazing moments that will make you smile every time you look at the pictures.

If you capture the right moment with your camera, you will get a photo of a flying cat. Flying animals look really great!

When a black snake is hungry, it can easily eat another snake!

Those of you who really love wild life can also see the first part about a hungry black snake’s dinner.

After Tiger Splash, here comes the "Grizzly Splash" :) It looks as if this zoo keeper is trying to escape from a huge grizzly bear. Their game of chase becomes dangerous, and you feel that this man can meet a grizzly end. Go inside the post to find out if the zoo keeper became bears' lunch.

This 20-foot python was caught from Lake Evans in Riverside County.
If I was swimming in the lake and saw this thing swimming near me, I would definitely shit bricks.

Animals also enjoy surfing websites. They look very cute when they sit in front of computers :)

Orangutan Boxing Show was a big attraction at Safari World outside of Bangkok. It was forbidden in 2006. According to Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, orangutans were illegally smuggled from the Malaysian woods. They stayed in dark cages and were trained for the show. Some people say animals were abused. It’s important to understand that orangutans are endangered. Wild species can be found only in Malaysia and Indonesia rainforests.

The most intelligent cat ever! ;))) Ok, he can’t read but it kinda looks this way, this cat has a very natural look on all these books :)

This extraordinary collection of shots captures amazing moments of new life come out of the shell. Don’t miss your chance to see how some cute creatures are born :)

Can you imagine lazy squirrels? Inside this post, you will meet extremely lazy animals that look so funny and are also known as Squirrel Pancakes :)

This helpless little wombat named Karmann was rushed to a wildlife shelter, where she spent her next three months in an intensive care unit after being rescued from the pouch of her dying mother, who had been run over in Australia. She is adorable, even without any hair.

Australian local authorities have announced Toad Day Out. On this day all citizens of Queensland can catch cane toads and bring these poisonous amphibians that are rather toxic to a special destination. All live frogs are painlessly killed and turned into compost, which is used by the cane farmers.

While some people have a tough time with the catching huge toads, others try to protect these frogs from a roundup.

Amazing creatures live in the ocean. This is an amazing photo collection of unbelievable plants and marine animals of different sizes, shapes and colors.

Here comes another example of unusual friendship between animals.

This 9-year-old alligator’s name is Georgia. The name of a 15-year-old turtle is Myrtle. They live in South Carolina and have been good friends for four years now.

These shocking photos were taken by tourists during their New Zealand nature cruise. A killer whale (orca) attacked an exhausted dolphin. Experts assure that a sighting of orcas hunting dolphins was “almost unheard of”.

This post is kind of emotional. I was surprised to see this, and I hope you won't get too upset.

When you are taking a picture, make sure that a horse won’t make a funny face in the background and won’t drop on your photo unexpectedly. Don’t laugh! Such photobombs often happen when you are around horses : )

By the way, humans also like to photobomb pictures. Check similar posts:

This AquaDom was built in one of Berlin hotels in 2003. It’s the biggest cylindrical acrylic glass aquarium in the world filled with 900,000 liters of seawater and 2,600 fish of 56 species. Two divers work full-time to clean this huge 25 meter tall aquarium! No wonder that AquaDom that has costed over 12 million euros is the main attraction in Berlin. I wouldn’t mind taking the build-in transparent elevator and exploring the sea world myself!

We have already an entry about man’s best friend and here’s a selection about man’s two best friends :) I know guys will agree with me ;)
