“A Fox’s Tale”
This image was taken by Simon Withyman in the UK city of Bristol. It depicts a young and injured red fox carrying away a chicken leg that was left for her by residents in the area. The fox was hurt by plastic barrier netting commonly used as fencing on building sites—an example of the many ways that human action can inadvertently harm wildlife that Withyman wanted to illustrate with his entry. Tragically, though the fox was eventually captured, treated, and safely released, she would die six months later from a car collision.
