EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tim Wimborne, two Tasmanian Devils engage in a fierce tussle over a piece of rabbit at the new breeding centre in Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The image showcases the intense struggle between these carnivorous marsupials as they fight for their share of food. The breeding centre has been established to aid in the preservation of Tasmanian Devils, which have suffered greatly from Devil Facial Tumour Disease, leading to a significant decline in their wild populations over the past decade. This initiative by Taronga Zoo aims to protect and conserve these unique animals. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the adorable yet ferocious nature of these creatures. Their sharp teeth and determined expressions reveal their instinctual drive for survival. Despite being cute, they are formidable predators that play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. Wimborne's photograph not only captures a moment of intense competition but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards wildlife conservation. It highlights both the vulnerability and resilience of these fascinating Australian animals. This image is part of Reuters' top pictures collection, showcasing creative use and capturing nature's beauty without any human interference or commercial motives. Through such powerful visuals, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural world and protecting endangered species like the Tasmanian Devil.
