"Should you think this is just another collection of pretty pictures, forget it: Markus has not become one of the world's leading wildlife photographers by accident. Besides exquisite portraits that look as if they belong on Christmas cards, there are awesome shots of owls and eagles hunting their prey, couples mating, rivals in mortal combat and practical demonstrations of Nature's mantra: eat or be eaten."
