“Deep
in the jungles of India I strive to catch sight of the elusive
wild tiger. Our party searches first by vehicle, then on elephant
back. We heave and crash through dense undergrowth, clamber
down gullies, and grapple with overhanging branches. Just as
the frustration of failure challenges our will, the guide finds
two glowing jewels peering from beneath a shield of leaves.
The tiger’s eyes seem brighter than anything else in the
jungle. All alone, and desperately endangered, she looks up,
instantly striking a chord of poignant awareness. The moment
is all too brief, for she swiftly turns back into the shadows,
as if to echo her own extinction.”

This
is the largest geographical area covered in UNTAMED,
so naturally there is a rich diversity of imagery in this chapter.
We see the horses of the Camargue in France, snow monkeys
in Japan, Orangutans in Borneo, Pandas in China, and even a
charging rhinoceros in India. |

UNTAMED has eight
spectacular fold-out panoramic images, each four
pages wide, such as this image of Japanese cranes at dawn, photographed
one freezing winter morning in Hokkaido, Japan. |
