Wolf Eel
Although they look terrifying, this isn’t an eel at all. While they are nicknamed wolf eels, they are not true eels but rather long, slim fish. The one in this photograph is considered young and petite. Young wolf eels have a red brick-like appearance (as shown in the photo), and as they age, their colors fade to shades of grays and browns. A fully mature wolf eel may reach eight feet in length and has 200 spinal vertebrae. These fish are located in the north Pacific and are known to be gentle, slow-moving, and frequently quite friendly with divers.

Marmot Vs. Tibetan Fox
Yongqing Bao, a Chinese photographer, captured this once-in-a-lifetime image. In 2019, he was named Wildlife Photographer of the Year by the London National History Museum. This image depicts a marmot’s utter terror at the sight of a Tibetan fox. The truth: The two fought for a while, with the fox having the marmot by the neck. However, marmots are gregarious animals, and when two others saw their comrade in danger, they hurried over to attempt to scare the fox away. The fox dashed between the three of them, attacking the injured one whenever possible. This carried on for five or six minutes until the injured marmot collapsed. The fox escaped from the other two marmots, scooped up its treasure, and ran away.
