Hitching a ride by Wim van den Heever, South Africa. A female giant anteater was foraging around an open plain late one afternoon in the Pantanal, Brazil, when Wim noticed she had a youngster on her back. He instinctively grabbed his camera and slowly crept up to a termite mound in the direction she was moving in. Sitting quietly, he waited for her to make her way over. The light was fading, and he began to wonder if he’d have time to capture the scene. After waiting quite some time – anteaters walk slowly – and holding some very heavy camera equipment, Wim was rewarded for his patience.
