Animals
The Animals category holds short pieces on Afghan hound puppies, the Tasmanian devil, kangaroo island wildlife, and the rock dassies of South Africa. The thread that connects them is curiosity about specific creatures rather than zoology in general.
We are still expanding this section. Future pieces will likely keep the same shape, with single-species write-ups, where to see the animal in its actual habitat, and the conservation questions that come with being a tourist in a fragile ecosystem. Pieces also touch on the ethics of wildlife tourism, the difference between sanctuaries and roadside attractions, and the question of whether photographing an animal at close range is ever a clean choice.
