Twenty-two artists explore what inspires them about the natural world, the plants and animals. For example:

• Shashwat Mishra compares real dire wolves to the Game of Thrones version.
• Steve Bissette wrote a story about his personal thoughts on the fisher cat, which was then illustrated by his hand-picked artist Ross Studlar.
• Terri Nelson, who is preparing for a trip to the Antarctic, explains the purpose of museum collections not on display.
