Lory-Antoine Cantin's Image
Lory-Antoine Cantin (Canada) spots a red fox approaching the roadside with prey grasped securely between its jaws.
Lory-Antoine was visiting the Forillon National Park in Canada when he spotted this fox carrying two of its prey.
When the fox noticed Lory-Antoine poised with his camera and long lens, it dropped its precious catch.
Lory-Antoine quietly kept his distance to give it some space. The fox soon returned to pick up the animals and continued on its way.
Foxes are highly adaptable and opportunistic. They have excellent eyesight, a keen sense of smell and acute hearing.
They tend to hunt at sunset, early morning and night, and they thrive in urban areas.
Behind the lens
Lory-Antoine Cantin
Canada
Lory-Antoine started photography four years ago with an old camera that belonged to his father. He started by taking photos of blue jays in the backyard before convincing his parents to go birding with him. This led him to develop two passions that went hand in hand with each other – bird watching and wildlife photography. Now photography takes up most of his free time. Recently, he’s been experimenting with different styles of photography, trying to do more wide-angle or small, in-frame shots.
