Yongqing Bao, China. It was early spring on the alpine meadowland of the Qinghai –Tibet Plateau,
in China’s Qilian Mountains National Nature Reserve. The marmot was hungry, still in its winter
coat and not long out of its six-month winter hibernation spent deep underground with the rest of
its colony. It had spotted the fox an hour earlier and sounded the alarm to warn its companions to
get back underground. The fox itself hadn’t reacted, and was still in the same position, so the
marmot adventured out of its burrow again to search for plants to graze on. The fox continued to
lie still. Then suddenly she rushed forward. And with lightning reactions, Yongqing seized his shot.
