Happy Women’s Day: females being awesome in the wild

Posted on 8 August 2013

Women’s Day is a chance for us to celebrate the women in our lives. Obviously the animals in this photoblog will never have to protest against pass laws, but animals and humans have more in common than you might think! Have a look at these gorgeous photos of females in the wild, and you might start to agree …
