I first saw the picture at the Natural History Museum's annual photo competition exhibition a few years back. Even though it came second or third, it was this picture that had a crowd round it and that caught my eye too. I bought a few postcards of it and it has been a constant image for me and I still like it. Hope you enjoy the book, Rob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-43591474141994397972009-03-05T17:09:00.000+00:002009-03-05T17:09:00.000+00:00Arctic foxes (which this is) often leap vertically...Arctic foxes (which this is) often leap vertically to break a snow crust to get at lemmings etc below the surface.
