,

Il primo orso polare che avvistiamo il secondo giorno di spedizione è un maschio di oltre 400kg. Lo troviamo che dorme sul ghiaccio marino. Dopo qualche tempo, si alza e comincia a gironzolare, apparentemente senza meta, fino a che non si butta in acqua. Pazienza, pensiamo di averlo perso. E invece, dopo qualche minuto, riemerge trascinando con sé fuori dall'acqua una foca barbuta che le guide stimano pesare quanto l'orso. La foca è talmente grande, e piena di grasso, che l'orso non riesce neanche a ucciderla saltandole sopra il collo con entrambe le zampe, o mordendola al collo come farebbe di solito. Troppo spesso lo strato di grasso. Quindi, l'orso fa l'unica cosa che può: iniziare a mangiarla viva. L'agonia della foca è ancora impressa vividamente nella mia memoria. Con la barca, riusciamo ad avvicinarci a qualche metro dalla scena. Ormai l'orso ha cacciato, e le guide sanno che non lo infastidiremo con la nostra presenza. Siamo così vicini da sentire il rumore dei morsi delle fauci dell'orso nella carne della foca e il suono secco della carne che si strappa. Il soffiare di dolore della foca ad ogni morso, la sua lenta agonia, mi rimbomba ancora nelle orecchie. Lo sguardo di dolore della foca mi ricorda quanto sia dura la natura. L'orso mi guarda, e poi ricomincia a mangiare. Andrà avanti per ore. Siamo così vicini che l'aria presto si fa ferrosa: è l'odore acre del sangue, che ci riempie le narici e non si toglierà che qualche ora dopo questo "spettacolo". La caccia è avvenuta di notte, nel pieno del sole Artico, ma di dormire dopo queste ore non se ne parla...

So, the bear does the only thing it can: start eating it alive. The seal's agony is still vividly imprinted in my memory

The seal's pain blowing with each bite, its slow agony, still rumbles in my ears

Smaller, I witnessed a predation of a wolf on a young fawn, escorted by its helpless mother. I will tell you, even in my case the thing that has remained most impressed on me are the screams before the baby, both during the escape, and during the capture, then those of the mother, of lament and pain. In my case, fortunately (or unfortunately), the wolf then transferred the prey to some place hidden from my sight before feeding on it.

this is something interesting, a very peculiar moment imprinted on the film. Wonderful. And to think that we believe we are so different... in reality in his eyes you can see how there is no difference.
Bravo, one of those shots that give food for thought

A very strong image of great visual impact, you have caught a moment that represents the survival of these immense bears that must be absolutely protected.
I think it is a document that you have taken of considerable importance, the photo is perfect in every detail, you should have an infinity of likes and certainly awards because this is a competition photo.
congratulations.
