I have seen that before.
There were pics of the white tiger in the water, I wonder if they could get the award?
Oh, come on now......Obama received The Nobel because of his EFFORTS.
In related news, it’s possible to rent wolves!
How about the "experts" time how long it takes to wriggle between the bars vs. jumping over a fence.
I didn't know you could train wolves for Agility. Only a matter of time before somebody enters a rent-a-wolf in a Dog Agility trial. . . .
> Some experts also questioned the shot because a wild animal would be more likely to deal with a fence by wriggling between the bars than by jumping over it like a racehorse.
Hmmmm... No German Shepherd would suffer the indignity of wriggling thru a fence if it had the option to jump it. A fence is like a trap, best avoided if possible. I wonder why wolves would be different?
They didn’t notice that the photographer used multiple light sources, or that the wolf looks like someone just gave it a bath and trimmed its fur???
What do I make of this fact? Why do multiple Spanish photographers know a wolf in a wildlife park by name?
"Hey Bob, did you see that picture of the wolf jumping the fence? It looks like Ossian!"
"You're right Phil, I'd swear that that is Ossian! I recognize that mole on his inside thigh."
"Let's call Steve, he'll know for sure if that's Ossian. Or Kenny. Let's call all the Spanish photographers we know who know Ossian. I'll take the first 15 guys on the list..."
Competition Rule #8
Subjects and Ethics Only pictures of wild animals and plants and landscapes are eligible subjects. Images of domestic animals (cats, dogs, farm animals, etc) and cultivated plants (species or hybrids grown in a cultivated setting) do not count as wildlife. Pictures of captive animals (animals that do not live a free and wild existence) or involving baiting using live bait are not eligible, and any other baiting must be declared. Pictures of animal models or any other animals being exploited for profit may not be entered. Images of animals being restrained in any way are only accepted in the One Earth and Wildlife Photojournalism categories when illustrating an issue. The competition asks photographers to put the welfare of animals first and to safeguard their environment and that they do not do anything to injure or distress animals or destroy the environment in their attempt to get the shot. If the Owners or the Judges suspect that a picture was taken using cruel or unethical practices, the entry will be disqualified.
Two other awards that need recinding were given to Al Gore and Obama.
Ah, the old rented “wolf trick”, hadn’t heard of that being done in years ...
It’s still a cool picture...
He really should have used a T-REX. The left would have clearly bought that, figuring the animal was resurrected due to global warming.
