The animal kingdom is full of wonders and never stops inspiring us. Photographers are especially tempted to try and catch the beauty of it and we can see many examples of their tries, like recently published article about the 2017 NIKON Small World Competition or even these adorable portraits of dogs eating peanut butter. The challenge to get that perfect shot will always be open and that means we will always be able to admire stunning animal images like the ones in this gallery.
