When it comes to photography, people will tell you that it can become a big part of your life and can become a matter of passion. Many say the only way to shoot animals is through the lens of a camera rather than hunt them actually. It does make sense that photographing animals in the wild not only allows others who are not able to go to these places and see for themselves get to see these animals in their native habitat, but also become a tool for learning.

 We all know how delightful photographing colorful birds like parrots can be.  Wildlife photography providing gratifying results is not without much effort and some inherent risks. After all you are talking about going to where the animal or bird lives and clicking an image of it there. Did you think it would be as easy as clicking photos of pigeons would be?

Here Are Some of the Best wildlife photos of past 10 years:
