An Unlikely Duo - The Wild Boar and the Great Egret Take on a Drying Fishpond Adventure!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by David Pattyn, we witness an extraordinary collaboration between two very different creatures. As the scorching summer sun dries up the once abundant fishpond in Valkenhorst nature reserve, a clever wild boar (Sus scrofa) and an elegant great egret (Ardea alba) join forces to satisfy their hunger. With their keen senses guiding them, these unlikely companions navigate through the muddy terrain, searching for any remaining fish that have become trapped in shrinking pools of water. Their determination is palpable as they forge ahead together, undeterred by the challenging conditions. The contrasting beauty of these animals adds an extra layer of intrigue to this remarkable scene. The wild boar's rugged appearance stands in stark contrast to the graceful elegance of its feathered counterpart. Yet here they are, side by side, showcasing nature's ability to bring diverse beings together for a common purpose. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity and scarcity, cooperation can lead to unexpected triumphs. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the resilience and resourcefulness found within our natural world. Congratulations to David Pattyn for capturing this mesmerizing image that earned him an honorable mention in the Mammals category of Groene Camera 2022 photo contest!
