This brand new coffee table book is the perfect gift for all animal lovers.  Author and prize-winning photographer, Dr. Joseph Spies has captured a gallery of glossy, candid images of these beautiful, fascinating, and magnificent wild animals on film, acting naturally and/or spontaneously, 50 in full color and 150 in black and white.  All pictures of these felines, birds, reptiles, and other mammals were all taken at the National Zoological Park, in Washington, D.C., with a few exceptions. The author has signed the first blank page and dedicated it to me and my wife.
