Wildlife photographer of the year winner and mammals category winner
A sad picture!
(
Wapusk national park......on Hudson Bay..... Canada.
Surprising behaviour.... witnessed in Wapusk national park..... in early winter......
Red foxes don’t actively hunt Arctic foxes......
but where the ranges of two predators overlap.... there can be conflict!
Though the light was poor.....
the snow-covered tundra provided the backdrop for the moment that the red fox paused.....
with the smaller fox in its mouth in a grim pose.
Yes....a sad picture!
But....he won the award.....and it is a great picture......
