"...a captivating book covering a wide spectrum of animal behavior and species this is a book to make you re-think the role of the female." BBC WildlifeIn the lion world, only the females hunt because they do it best! The boss of a hyena pack? An alpha female. Even the lowest-ranking female of the pack is superior to her male counterparts. As for praying mantises? They keep interaction with men to the essentials, eating them right after mating for added nutrition.
The first photo book to focus exclusively on the female of the species, Fearless Females is a fascinating account of feminine strength throughout the animal kingdom. With some 150 photographs, accompanied by remarkable facts and extraordinary stories, the book reveals the fierce, formidable, and fascinating antics of she lions, elephants, and many other creatures. A refreshing reappraisal of feminine behavior and a long overdue emancipation of nature and wildlife photography.

"It's likely that a book like this is the only way you might see many of these creatures for yourself." — Amateur PhotographerThis book of photographs puts the spotlight on a group of animals that is little-noticed, and undeservedly so: endemic species that exist only on their respective islands. Isolated from continents by the ocean, certain species have been able to evolve further and differently than their counterparts on the mainland, where they are subjected to far more threats such as predators and diseases. Over time, giants like the Indonesian Komodo dragon have evolved, which grows up to three metres long and weighs 70 kilos. The comet moth lives on Madagascar, and the odd King of Saxony bird-of-paradise flies around on New Guinea. The flightless cormorant on Galapagos, on the other hand, retracted its flight instruments over time because it had no need for them. Readers can expect a variety of animal beauty and extravagance.
The following locations are included in the book:Island of Sainte Marie (Madagascar)MadagascarPhilippinesLesser Sunda Islands (Indonesia)Aru Islands Regency (Indonesia)New GuineaAustraliaTasmania (Australia)New ZealandSanta Catalina Island, Channel Islands (California, US)Cozumel (Mexico)CubaIsla Escudo de Veraguas (Panama)Galapagos Islands (Ecuador)Falkland IslandsSvalbard Archipelago
