He's brought us images from habitats without light: caves, the bottom of the ocean, and the canopies of the rainforest. Not interested in the typical, but seeking out underappreciated and rarely seen creatures to highlight the need for conservation of the world's biodiversity.
Science Source Images is proud to represent several exclusive photographs from his collection. Discover a Fangtooth from the Gulf of Mexico, a colony of Siphonophore, orange and red-colored Jellies, transparent Batfish, blind albino Salamanders. Creatures so unusual, they may not seem real, but they are part of the wonder of our planet.
Fenolio is not only a successful author, adventure photographer, but runs the Conservation and Research Department at the San Antonio Zoo. His many projects to save animals and their habitats span the globe. Along with China, Peru, Japan, and Chile he works in the United States. His efforts range from the Ozarks, Oklahoma to Georgia.
Bringing focus to blind cave fish, Japanese Giant Salamander and endangered Chilean amphibians.
