Joel Sartore took this photo of an ocelot at the Omaha Zoo in Nebraska, U.S.A. Sartore spent a lot of time with the animal, but getting the shot was not easy. “They hardly ever hold still,’’ says Sartore. “So I really had to act quickly when he looked into my camera’s lens.” Many animals will stand still only long enough to get food. After they eat enough and are not hungry anymore, the photo shoot is over.
Behind this image is another great story. At an aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., Sartore came across a very angry frog. While he tried to take a photo of it, it tried to bite him. He never thought he would be in a situation where he was afraid of a frog! “First time for everything,” says Sartore
