About
Celebrating diversity in the animal kingdom. From eel to armadillo, from platypus to prairie dog, with the occasional beetle, turtle, frog, moth, or mouse tossed in, Photo Ark Wonders is like a zoo in a book, only better: a treasure trove of images that allow you to look into the eyes of the animals from around the world.
Like a latter-day Noah, Joel Sartore is on a mission to save every kind of creature in human care - by photographing them. Of some 20 000 species, he has already created portraits of more than 11 000. Here are 462 of those images, curated to highlight the vast array of shapes, patterns, and personalities in the animal kingdom.
Along the way, Sartore shares stories from his travels, some wrenching and some hilarious. With wit and wisdom - and a few telling comments from his wife and children - he brings you along on his journey to discover the wonders of the animals in our world.
No more risky business!
From the moment we're brought into this world, our parents and guardians strive to keep us safe and sound at all times (or so we hope)! This often means hauling an assortment of protective gear to the beach, the park, the schoolyard, friends' houses--you name it. With layers of sunscreen and inflatable swimwear, you're (quite literally) covered.
High school is no different, as every sport imaginable comes with its own set of protective gear, from knee guards to helmets and gum shields. But once you hit adulthood, you're pretty much on your own. And let's be honest, how many of you kept playing rugby after graduation anyway?
These days, one of your biggest risks is probably sitting up in bed in the morning to drink your coffee and banging your heads against a bare wall. The easiest fix? Get a headboard like the one we have a deal on from Dreamy Comfort.
