For years, photojournalist Steve Winter has actually taken a trip throughout the world catching extraordinary pictures of huge felines as part of his work for National Geographic. He didn’t picture an animal expertly till he was 34.
“If anybody had said, ‘You’re going to work with big cats for 25 years of your career,’ I would have said ‘No, I don’t know anything about big cats,'” he informed Live Science. “But I learned from scientists and local people,” he included. “That was very, very important — that’s what, to me, was the biggest change in my life.”
