Special Mention | Animal Portraits
A baby Giant Anteater sits safely tucked on its mother's back as the pair makes their way through the Colombian savanna. The largest anteaters on earth, Giant Anteaters are slow-moving mammals that can exhibit extraordinary traits under threat. To ensure the safety of their young ones, mother anteaters carry them for up to a whole year, long after they have been weaned. The photographer focuses on the offspring, yet it is the mother that the image speaks volumes about.
