Whether they’re our companions or something we watch in awe from afar, animals are such an important part of our lives (and such a fascinating topic of interest). The books listed below are a combination of print books and ebooks, all featuring lots of beautiful color photos of animals. Some will have personal stories about various pets. Others will be more scientific in nature. But, in the end, each of these books will feature beautiful pictures that you’ll want to spend lots of time looking at. I hope you have fun!
