Winner, animals in their environment. Grizzly leftovers, by Zack Clothier, US. A grizzly bear takes an interest in Clothier’s camera trap. Returning to the scene was challenging. Clothier bridged gushing meltwater with fallen trees, only to find his setup trashed. This was the last frame captured on the camera. Grizzlies, a sub-species of brown bears, spend up to seven months in a torpor, a light form of hibernation. Emerging in spring, they are hungry and consume a wide variety of food, including mammals.
