Wild Portugal

Picture a land of boulder-strewn shorelines, isolated mountaintops, and golden prairies. Here, packs of wolves stalk herds of ancient mustangs and tree-climbing carnivores keep entire forests on edge. Meanwhile, high above the crashing surf a pair of storks attempts to raise a family on a narrow ledge atop a towering cliff. Europe's Wild West is a place where survival is reserved for those with the keenest senses, and the quickest draw. (National Geographic)
