Our planet is home to animals in a vast variety of species in all shapes,
sizes and colours. Each has its own special appeal. In these days of
television and Internet, we have access to the most amazing wildlife
documentaries and information, giving us an extraordinary insight into the
animal kingdom. Even if we don’t have the possibility of travelling to
far-off places and perhaps joining a safari, we can still enjoy incredible
close-ups, from elephants in the savannas, gorillas in the Virunga Mountains
to zebras on the African plains. All enhanced by commentaries from experts
such as world-famous British naturalist, Sir David Attenborough. This
modern-day technology not only provides us with pleasure in watching
wildlife but also raises our awareness of the ever increasing number of
species that are endangered. But closer to home, wherever that may be,
you’ll find a multitude of animals. Perhaps not very exotic, dangerous or
likely to eat you, but certainly with their own unique quirks and qualities.
