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.
