From the NYT daily briefing:
Snapshot: Above, a Tibetan fox hunting a marmot in the Qilian Mountains in China. The image won the wildlife photographer of the year award at the Natural History Museum in London, which said it captured the “humor and horror” of nature. The marmot did not survive the encounter.

If you love wildlife photography - and who doesn’t? - let me recommend a 6 part video series, Serengeti, first broadcast on the Discovery channel this year. The anthropomorphizing of the motives of the creatures was a bit tedious to make a story or stories, but the video photography is spectacular. The migration patterns on the Serengeti Plain have been presented before, but never with such photography. You will constantly wonder what it took to capture the sequences shown. I am sure it can be streamed somewhere now and is well worth the time investment.
