Look once, look twice. And discover someone hiding right before your eyes. A calendar that promises to awe and entertain the whole family, Vanishing Acts features a dozen photographs of animals employing the essential survival strategy of camouflage. Can you spot an Orchid Mantis, with petal-shaped limbs and a perfect pink-and-white blush? An Arctic hare, snow-white except for its eyes. A tawny lion in the tall grasses of the African savanna. And is that a hippo stock-still in the river? These gorgeous, astonishingly detailed images from celebrated nature photographer Art Wolfe are "a superb evocation of some of the most breathtaking spectacles in the world" (Sir David Attenborough). Each photograph is a wonder.
