ABC News is particularly fond of animal photos. For example, this slideshow I call the Baby Animal Photo Parade. The captions are interesting to consider in terms of how the animals are talked about in relation to their parents, humans, and the zoos they are usually born in. The compositional qualities of these photos are also interesting to think about, as well as the slideshow format.
How does this slideshow itself operate in the broader sphere of thinking about Animals As Nature in the context of the urban, or for that matter the Internet? Is the internet a natural extension of bring urban and the internet part of the new zoo: Every critter you could ever want to see globally and yet right there?
