30 Photographs That Explore The Relationship Between Animals And Humans By Steve McCurry

They began to see them as their friends who would accompany them while hunting, traveling, or guarding their homes. However, there was always something special but complex in the relationship between humans and animals and one famous photographer dedicated his travels to show that.
