About The Crane: Truth More Remarkable Than Myth

They are strange creatures. With delicate, graceful necks, odd-shaped, ill-proportioned heads, and two black orbs, more resembling coals than eyes, they are unusual physical concoctions. Yet, this creature, this very animal has become an object of folklore and legend. The crane bird truly is more than the sum of its parts.

Cranes, almost more mythic than real, are one of the most remarkable of all avians.

Volcanoes: Force Of Nature And Wonder

A sea of red almost as bright as the Sun bubbles and gurgles in a huge melting cauldron. When the time is right the cauldron will get too heavy, too full. Too much pressure.

A noise that would deafen the sound of 100 Super Jumbos casts its mighty roar. The heavens open, a giant explosion rips through the surface of the Earth sending masses of material into the sky. And then…darkness engulfs the day.

About The Cow: More Than Just A Producer Of Milk

What is your experience of cows? If you have not encountered one, what image is formed in your imagination? Do they conjure up the likeness of docility? Do you think of great big lumbering creatures raking grass with their highly dexterous tongues?

About The Bat: A Fascinating But Misunderstood Creature

A fleeting movement cleanly cuts through the air. A nearby leaf temporarily oscillates in the momentum before returning to its more accustomed, stationary position. The pattern reiterates itself and a swiftly passing shadow can be glimpsed by the keen-sighted. Rapid, roaming and precise, it closes in on its target.

A sonic volley of pulsing chirps morph into one continuous sound. The pattern repeats but on each pass it is augmented, faster, tighter. A final fanfare and the instigator obtains its goal, a succulent fruit member. Welcome to the world of the bat.

About The Albatross: The True Majestic King Of The Skies

A large shadow casts its moving mark along the ground. Silently soaring in the heavens, a great expanse of white feather glides across the horizon. It seems to be in defiance. Stark, raw and untroubled, it appears to disregard the laws of physics as it steadfastly refuses to flap its wings. Instead they lay fixed, rigid. The bird is unflinching, unyielding as it takes its place in the firmament. Not vaingloriously, but rightfully retaining its regal status of king of the skies. This sight we have called the Albatross.
