Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
There is a new photo contest going on in the Photography Lovers community and the theme is ANIMALS, which means I cannot miss out on this round of course :)
As you have probably noticed by now, posts about nature and animals make for a significant part of my content here on the blockchain and I have already published dozens (if not hundreds) of posts with animal photos.
Nevertheless, because of the covid madness that we all have been dealing with in some ways for long months already, it´s very difficult to travel and explore new natural places these days and since I am not a big fan of facilities where captive animals can be observed, I had to make do with my old photos to participate in this photo contest. To make it a bit more interesting and entertaining for you, however, I decided to compile a special collection of some of my best wildlife close up photos and also identify all of the featured creatures.
Without further ado, let me take you on this little "safari tour" where I will show you some of the most interesting creatures I have encountered and captured in different parts of the world.

I hope you you enjoyed this collection of animal close ups. I did my best trying to identify all those creatures for you but I am not an expert and I cannot guarantee that all the names are really correct. If you find any mistakes, please feel free to correct them in the comment section below, I will appreciate every feedback :) Thank you.
