PHOTOS: Animals photographed against the sun are instantly recognizable by their silhouettes

In this stunning collection of photographs, animals from all corners of the globe are instantly recognizable by their silhouettes, with the sun as the perfect backdrop.

One photo shows the figure of an elephant drinking from the Chobe River in South Africa, while another features a stag against the sunrise in London’s Richmond Park.

Also captured are secretary birds and wildebeests at the Maasai Mara wilderness reserve in Kenya and a chameleon in Turkey appearing to grasp the sun with its tail. (Caters News)
