An image of a stand-off between a Tibetan fox and a marmot has been named the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

 

The photograph, taken by Chinese entrant Yongqing Bao, captures the two animals confronting each other in an apparent life-or-death scenario.

 

Titled The Moment, the image was taken on the alpine meadowland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China and shows the fox rushing towards its prey as the marmot reacts with its paw outstretched.

 

More than 48,000 people from 100 countries entered this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards, which is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum in London.

Now, that is a good picture.

This thread has potential. Marmot could be Xi and Fox Putin, I can spot the similarities.
