Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

Meet the Warty Frogfish a.k.a. Clown Frogfish. The juveniles are usually found in shallow coral reefs or around sandy/rocky shore lines. Frogfishes belong to the family of anglerfishes. Evolution turned their first dorsal spine into a fishing rod (take a close look at the pink pom-pom that is floating on top of its head!). By moving it they attract smaller fish which they then swallow as soon as they are in strike range. But besides that, they are really lazy and don't move a lot. Once settled down on top of a comfortable sea sponge (or similar), they just relax for the next weeks. They even can change their skin color to match their environment and avoid to be seen by unannounced visitors. True masters of camouflage. By the way: this lovely baby specimen was only about 2 cm long

As I made my way to the top of rice terraces, there is a Stone Dragon standing guard at the peak. Looking down, there are many water birds in the water or on the shore. Spied a male Pied Imperial Pigeon trying to impress the girl among the trees.

Indonesia: Background, history, culture

Indonesia: Java to Ubud Travel I am grateful that I am not a President, Prime Minister, King or Sultan of this country. A country like Indonesia has to be one of the most challenging places to govern.  I took the Java to Ubud tour by Intrepid. Our tour arrangement and our guide were excellent. A friend of mine who visited Bali (as most visitors do) was disappointed. Most visitors come away…

Finalists of the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

Dispute by Jacek Stankiewicz from Kraków, Poland: 'I caught this scene while watching birds in the Bialowieza Forest. Young greenfinch was still fed by parents. However, from time to time birds looked like having argument. My friends interpret this scene in two ways: A young naughty kid is arguing with a parent. Or one kid is reporting to the parent that its brother did something wrong: "Look he has broken the glass in the window"'

'Excuse me sir but I think you're a little too young to be smoking' by Dakota Vaccaro from Victor, United States: 'While I was working deep in the Virginian woods, a family of grey foxes took up residence under the deck of the abandoned cottage next to my work housing. One day while practicing their hunting skills on bits of moss and branches, one of the kits lunged at a small chunk of wood and started rolling around with his prize. Tired after his hunt the kit lounged on his belly still holding the wood in his mouth which gave the strong resemblance of a cigar. I was very envious of the kit at this moment cause who wouldn't want to just lay around all day relaxing'

The Rainforest Dandy by Delphine Casimir from Brussels, Belgium: 'This picture was taken in the monkey forest in Ubud, Bali. This place is a crazy place where monkeys are king! Sometimes they give a show, sometimes they climb on you to look for fleas or steal the piece of biscuit you are trying to eat'

Otter Ballerinas by Otter Kwek from Singapore: 'An arabesque smooth coated otter'

Picture me! Picture me!! by Dikla Gabriely from Yokneam, Israel: 'A brown bear in Finland who definitely did everything to make me pay attention to him and focus on him and not the other bears'

Boing! by Lara Mathews from Melbourne, Australia: 'Taken at Westerfolds Park, a beautiful and surprisingly wild pocket of land in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, famous for its kangaroo population. The mob was enjoying some morning sunshine when this joey decided to get silly and try his hand at boxing'

Living the Moment by Kawing Chiu from Staten Island, United States: 'Relax, lay back and enjoy the warm sun... This seal is scratching its face and it is seen lying on the side while his head is supported by his flipper. This image makes the seal like the reclining Buddha statue'

In the Heart of Bali: Monkey Business in the Forest

I arrived at the Monkey Forest in Ubud after a lot of talk about how it was an essential to visit. I had been travelling with family and we all had agreed to meet at 4:30 outside the entrance so we could explore together. A group of us had spent the morning exploring Ubud by Quadbike as well as a coffee tasting session on a plantation that morning. But still full of energy we were keen to get out…
