Wildlife Photographer Shows Bloody Polar Bear Mother And Cub Kill To Prove Nature Isn't Always Cute |
| Caption : |
A wildlife photographer has shared pictures of a polar bear kill to highlight that nature isn’t always cute and cuddly.
World renowned photographer Andy Rouse captured bloody images of a polar bear cub and mother. The shots show them feeding on a seal kill on 15 July in Svalbard, Norway.
He says it bucks the trend of only posting images online that are cute just to get likes.
Andy explains: “Cute rules, but no one seems to want to see reality anymore. The reality of polar bears is that they don't eat huge fields of broccoli. They kill seals because they got to eat. No point in being squeamish about it, they are apex predators and kill to eat. For some reason though we don't want to see images like this.
“I always evaluate the performance of all my posts and it's true that on certain social media, cute full frame images do better than anything else. To be honest this hacks me off a lot as I spend a lot of time teaching people to follow their own passions and creativity to find a style, yet social media is trying to control the style of our pictures as everyone wants decent likes.” |
