It could almost be an act from a funny cartoon: A marmot (土撥鼠) jumps up with its mouth open in great surprise and stands on one foot. What was happening to the little one? A fox (狐貍) drew close silently from behind and was about to catch it!

This amazing picture, named "The Moment"was taken by Chinese photographer Yongqing Bao. It has won him the prize as Wildlife Photographer of the Year. He took the picture on a grassland in China's Qilian Mountains in early spring.

People say it's a powerful picture of both humor andhorror! It includes the fun and danger of nature. For a photograph, it is quite simply the perfect moment.

In fact, Bao had watched the two animals for some time. Around an hour earlier before he caught the act, the marmot had noticed the fox. But it didn't find the fox lie low and still. Believing there was no risk of being seen, the marmot finally came out to find food. In a very short while, the fox ran forward. Thanks to his quick response (反應(yīng))，Bao was able to record nature's final match—a fight for living.
