20 Epic Shots That Will Make You Rethink Your Perceptions of Wildlife (21 photos)
It might seem like the wild is all about brutal fights for survival, chases, and drama. But if you look closer, animals can also be silly, touching, and incredibly photogenic. 
In fact, nature has a great sense of humor and an innate sense of style. Take gannets, for example. These birds look like someone painted blue flippers on them and forgot to turn off the "comedy" mode. Or tigers. We're usually used to seeing these predators in splendid isolation. But then a whole family arrived sedately at the watering hole. No aggression, just grace and family idyll. It's truly a sight to behold. And for dessert, a stunning iguana. Sitting on a rock, legs spread, gazing into the distance with the air of a master of the world. It seems as if it's about to give interviews or sign decrees.
