We’ve got adorable babies and unusual-looking creatures coming soon on another post, but first these animal pictures where the eye and artistry of the photographer is what makes the image exquisite.

We end with another video by masterful Louis Schwartzberg, this one about Pollinators.  Don’t miss the hummingbird flying backwards and up side down and the baby bat clinging to it’s mom about 2 and a half minutes in.
