OUR WILD WORLD

1Cityslickers
I regularly ride my bike
through Singapore’s
Gardens by the Bay.I’d
been tracking smooth-
coated otters and knew
they came to this grass
patch.I was excited to get
this shot because they
usually avoid humans.

2 Thrill of the hunt
On a trip to Zambia, I saw
a male impala strolling
close to a hidden leopard.
Like an explosion, the
big cat jumped on the
antelope, and after a
short fight, released it
when it was dead.

1 3 Cold comfort

I took this photograph
3 at Alexandra Fiord in

Nunavut, Canada.The
Arctic fox was unfazed by
my presence, and I was
ecstatic to see it
confidently strutting
about our camp.

4 Flight of fancy
While on Little Tobago
Island,Tobago, I watched
red-billed tropicbirds by
2 the shore.After a long
wait, I panned one flying
4 5 across the dark clif face

and got the shot I wanted.

5 Best foot forward
At the Melghat tiger
reserve, I saw this
gecko (Eublepharis
satpuraensis) hiding
in the rock crevices.
The species was only
discovered in 2014.
