EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ilya Naymushin, we are transported to the Royev Ruchey Zoo in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The scorching heat of a summer day is no match for Valet, a male tapir who seeks solace under a refreshing stream of water. As an employee sprays water on him from above, Valet stands gracefully inside his enclosure, finding respite from the sweltering air that hovers around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). The close-up shot allows us to witness every detail of this endearing creature's experience. With droplets glistening on his sleek coat and grass surrounding him, Valet appears both content and oddly humorous as he embraces nature's gift of coolness. His shadow dances playfully on the ground while he looks directly at the camera with an expression that seems almost human-like. This image beautifully captures not only the adorable charm of this wild animal but also highlights our creative use of resources to provide comfort even in captivity. It serves as a reminder that amidst our busy lives, it is essential to pause and appreciate these simple moments where animals find joy in their environment. Ilya Naymushin has skillfully frozen this delightful scene in time, allowing us to marvel at nature's wonders and reminding us how small acts can bring immense happiness even during scorching weather conditions.
