Leopards are one of the four big cats along with lions, tigers and jaguars and is the smallest cat within this group. Leopards are known for their agility and strength, including the ability to climb trees even when they are carrying the carcass of their latest kill. Leopards are incredibly fast animals and can reach speeds of almost 60 kilometers and hour.
The leopard print is quite distinctive and has rosettes (rather than spots as they are most commonly called). There are variations in the color of the coats and the shape of the rosettes depending on the habitat of the leopard.

Giraffes Galore
Giraffes are the tallest terrestial animals currently inhabiting the earth and is found in many parts of Africa. Images of giraffes grazing the African savannahs come to mind when thinking of these large animals.
Giraffes are a favourite for both photographers and artists alike. Perhaps it's their appearance which can at times appear graceful and elegant, and at other times appear gangly and awkward.
Giraffes are a favourite for children (and adults) everywhere. Their distinctive looks make them a perfect candidate for the creation of cute illustrations and cartoons. Who could resist these cute giraffes below?

Fox Art - Red Fox
The red fox is the largest of all the foxes and is found throughout the northern hemisphere and some parts of the southern hemisphere, including Australia. The red fox is very capable of adapting to new environments which is evidenced by the geographical spread over which it can be found.
Red foxes feature in the mythology and folklore of a number of cultures, often with characteristics of being deceitful and full of tricks. Alternatively they can be loyal and faithful.
From the artist, romanceworks ~ Spirit of The Red Fox is from the 'Spirit Of The Wild' Dream Catcher series of original art by Carol Cavalaris. Red Fox, creature of quiet cunning, spirit of observation and silence. You teach us that looking and listening are sometimes more powerful than speaking. And when it is time to act, you are clever, quick, and agile, showing us how to use our instincts and knowing to get what we desire, while still living in balance and harmony with our surroundings and our inner power. This painting of two red foxes within a dream catcher, one hidden with the red-orange wildflowers and golden brush, listening and looking, and the other gazing intensely at us, makes a stunning and inspiring art poster or print for any decor

The Beautiful Elk
The elk, which is lso known as wapiti, is the largest species of deer. Elk are native to North America and eastern Asia but have been successfully introduced to a number of other areas.
Male elk have antlers, which begin growing in spring and they shed in winter. During the mating season, bulls will often engage in antler wrestling to defend his right to mate with his herd, or harem, of cows.

Sumatran Tiger by DigitalDreambuilder at Zazzle
Endangered Sumatra Tiger
A Sumatran Tiger at rest in the grass. The tiger's fur is brown with black stripes, with patches of white on the forehead, ears, eyes and mane.The Sumatra tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger whose habitats are lowland and mountainous rain forests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, a large island in western Indonesia. According to the Tiger Information Centre and the World Wildlife Fund there are fewer than 500 tigers remaining in the wild, living in mostly unprotected game reserves and national parks. The Sumatra Tiger is classified by the IUCN as critically endangered.
Deforestation resulting from the production of palm oil is a major threat to the Sumatran Tiger. The reserves also do not provide safety, as many tigers are killed by poachers each year despite conservation efforts.
The tiger in this photograph is a resident of Dublin Zoo, Pheonix Park, Dublin, Ireland.
