Joel Sartore has squealed like a pig, protected his camera from a parakeet, and suffered through a stink attack—all to help save animals through photography. “I hope people will look these animals in their eyes and then be inspired to protect them,” says Sartore, a National Geographic photographer.
Sartore is on a mission to take pictures of all 12,000 animal species living in captivity through his project, the National Geographic Photo Ark. During each photo shoot, he works with zookeepers, aquarists, and wildlife rehabbers to keep his subjects safe and comfortable. But things can still get a little, well, wild! Read on for some of Sartore’s most memorable moments.
