Meet the man dubbed “Animal Whisperer,” a photographer and adventurer who’s mastered the art of taking selfies with exotic animals. Originally from Ireland, Allan Dixon has been travelling around the globe to capture smiling snaps with kangaroos, quokkas, camels, sea lions… you name it!
Having started in 2015, he now has quite a solid collection of funny and light-hearted snaps that won the heart of the internet. But the purrfect selfie isn’t just all fun and games, and it could take “’anywhere between five minutes to three hours of being in the animal’s presence’ to take the perfect selfie,” Allan told us.
So let’s dive deep into Allan’s wondrous world of the animal kingdom where each selfie reveals how much humans and animals really have in common. The smiles, the facial expressions, the genuine joy you cannot fake… Be sure to upvote your favorite ones! And be sure to check out our previous post with snouts and smiles from Allan’s selfie collection.

He’s also up for adoption. Unfortunately he lost the use of his back legs in a car accident. Most countries would straight up euthanize the animal but in Thailand they give life a chance to flight and help rehabilitate the animal

#12 A Future Request, To Help Combat Trophy Hunting Please Shame Those Who Do It
How in the world anyone can hunt such large beautiful animals is beyond me.
–
An interesting observation is that the widespread ‘shaming’ of trophy hunters that has occurred online since Cecil might have also decreased trophy hunting (or at least the boasting online, itself feeding back to decrease the activity). If the psychological drive in killing is the achievement, ‘hunting for status’, then shaming them is an effective strategy for those opposed. This is because shaming tends to erode the status that trophy hunters appear to be seeking

#17 This Little Koala Named Ralph Has A Second Chance
Rescued during the fires and now being cared for at Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park. Unbelievably they raised $2.6 million in their rescue and rehabilitation efforts for wildlife on the island. So financially I think they’re fine. Even the Australian Army arrived to build a new animal hospital and enclosures to house the koalas in care. They have treated over 600 koalas in the last three months.
Some more facts,
Last week they released 104 koalas back into the wild which is amazing! They currently have 15 baby koalas in round the clock feeding and care. Soon to be scheduled for training, soft release then release. So not all is lost, there is hope from this bushfire.
