After a 22-year career in teaching and a 17year career in real estate, Bob Libby’s love for children and wildlife led to his creation of a book entitled Australian Animals and Their Animal Friends. Having resided in Australia for many years, Bob began to do photography as a hobby. He always had a passion for photographing animals and is dedicated to the preservation and protection of the natural world.
