Book excerpt: This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.
Download or read book Albinism in Wild Vertebrates written by Hayley McCardle and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rare, albinism has been observed in almost every vertebrate species on earth and wild animals persist in nature even with this seemingly adverse condition. Albinistic animals have been recorded and studied since Carolus Linnaeus in the mid-1700s. A number of comprehensive lists of albino animals observed in the wild were published in the mid-1900s and numerous articles continue to be published today. Albinism can be displayed for a number of reasons aside from inheritance including genetic mutations, diet, living conditions, age, disease, or injury. Albinistic traits can vary and individuals are usually classified as true albino, partial albino, or leucistic. Albino animals demonstrate both positive and negative responses to their albinistic characteristics.
