EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Red Squirrel in the parkland woods near Ekateringburg, nestled in the Ural Mountains of Russia. The furry creature is seen actively feeding on sunflower seeds left by kind-hearted individuals in bird-feeders during the harsh winter month of December. Despite temperatures plummeting to a bone-chilling -35 degrees Celsius, this resilient squirrel ruffles up its fur to keep warm.
In such freezing conditions, hunger drives this Eurasian tree-dweller to lose its fear of people as it seeks sustenance to survive. The image showcases the squirrel sitting alone, engrossed in devouring the sunflower seeds with snowflakes gently falling around it.
As an endangered species facing environmental challenges, this red squirrel's encounter with humans sheds light on the impact of extreme weather conditions on wildlife. Its struggle for survival against icy elements serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards protecting and preserving these precious creatures.
Through this historical snapshot captured by Rights Managed photography, we are reminded of the delicate balance between nature and human intervention in ensuring the well-being of all living beings inhabiting our planet.
