The coyote was exhibiting a very healthy wariness of humans. Coyotes are, on the whole, uncomfortable and suspicious of humans. We're somewhat unpredictable to them, which makes them want to keep their distance and keep watch to see what we're up to. They took note of your arrival and whether you were aware of it or not, kept an eye on you as you went about your work.
Deadly Lessons shows young cheetahs that have caught a Gunther's dik-dik in Samburu national reserve, Kenya. Marina Cano, from Spain, was highly commended in the mammals' behaviour category for her shot of the three practising their hunting skills while their mother looked on.
