There’s a moment in the wild – just before the chase of the hunt ends – where time seems to hold its breath. It’s tense, silent, the stillness before the storm. Then, a flick of an ear, a narrowed gaze, a burst of speed.
The pursuit, the tension, the moment just before the strike – these are not just displays of instinct, but of incredible agility, patience and intelligence. From the unbelievable speed of a cheetah to the calculated teamwork of wild dogs, the act of the hunt is as much about survival as it is about skill.
These are not easy scenes to witness, nor to photograph. However, they are an essential part of the natural world: the rhythm of predator and prey, the cycle that keeps ecosystems in balance.
