I came across this stunning animal photography by Tim Flach.

Tim Flach has photographed many animals, though many not exisiting in Africa, the  photography is just so arresting that you may want to visit his website to see more of this work.

Flach brings his subjects into such close focus that we begin to read their poses and gestures as we would the body language of a human figure, face or hand.

Flach’s bestiary evokes pathos, humour and an unmistakably intimate human empathy.
