Re: Living off the Planet (none / 1)

The second photo is lucky brilliance by the photographer, and is heart-rending.

Re: Living off the Planet (4.00 / 3)

Not really lucky: the guy probably sat there for most of the month just to get those images. The amount of hard work - well sitting very still for ages - that goes into wildlife photography is amazing.

Heart-rending ? For prey or predator ? Orca's gotta eat too. After all, seals ain't too fussy about all the fish they kill.

And we as a species didn't get where we are today by refusing a good protein packed lunch on the hoof.
