Wild Animals By Jonathan Griffiths

These amazing pictures bring a whole new meaning to coming face to face with danger.
Photographer Jonathan Griffiths risked his life as he took these breathtaking shots, just inches from tigers, bears and cougars, capturing the moment a lion came so close it was pawing at his lens.
In one shot a tiger left condensation on his lens with its breath.
Although they have been taken in a controlled environment, the pictures represent a considerable feat - particularly for an amateur photographer.
