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, he seeks out underappreciated and rarely seen creatures to highlight the need for conservation of the world's biodiversity.

Science Source Images is proud to represent exclusive photographs from his collection. Discover a Fangtooth from the Gulf of Mexico, a colony of Siphonophore, orange and red-colored Jellies, transparent Batfish, and blind albino Salamanders. His creatures are so unusual they may not seem real, but they are all part of the wonder of our planet.

Fenolio is not only a successful author and adventure photographer, he is also a conservator and research developer 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 to Oklahoma to Georgia.
