edit: This has gone on a page now - see previous page for article about the wolf being disqualified.

In case no one saw the cutesy ant pic that I seem to love:

After all the debate in this thread, turns out the wolf was an actor and as such - the photo was disqualified.

BBC News - Wildlife photographer stripped of award

I hereby nominate the ant again for the win!!! (not that the organisers will pick another winner now).

:thumbdown too bad, but they didn't have the actual wolf trainers come forward and state it was the same wolf; and he hired them for it, so we can't be 100% sure, even though the wolves do look the same:

They do look like the same eh. It is unfortunate but I find myself hard to feel sorry for the guy when I far preferred another pic ;)

However, it will be interesting to see if the captive wolf trainers can be reached for comment. Will keep an eye out on the news - but do post if you spot something.
