Five great wild animal shots

[JDMvW]

<p>Although the text is in German, the five photos at (<a href="http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-48046.html">link</a> ) speak for themselves and seem rather special to me. Most of them are things I haven't seen--a wolf jumping a gate, an ant taking a drink, and so on.</p>

<p>Another site (in English this time) is about the wildlife of Chernobyl (<a href="http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-48047.html">link</a> )</p>

<p>That wolf jumping shot is quite impressive...</p>

<p>Here is the first one in English (also in the post right after this in the Nature forum)</p>

<p>Michael's link has some that are not on the German site and vice versa.... Both are worthwhile.</p>

<p>Much later - there was subsequently some discussion about whether the wolf picture was not a true "wildlife" in the wild shot. It's still a great image.</p>

<p>I forgot all about this post JD....but you got me to do some research. He was actually stripped of his prize: <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/20/wolf-wildlife-photographer-award-stripped">http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/20/wolf-wildlife-photographer-award-stripped</a></p>

<p>The wolf jumping over a gate image was debated to no end last year: <a href="00VYV0">http://www.photo.net/nature-photography-forum/00VYV0</a></p>
