‘At this place lived formerly an invisible Smith, and if a traveller's Horse had lost a Shoe upon the road, he had no more to do than to bring the Horse to this place with a piece of money, and leaving both there for some little time, he might come again and find the money gone, but the Horse new shod.' - Letter to Dr Mead concerning Antiquities in Berkshire, Oxford, 1738

Honey Badger vs Cape Porcupine
📷 David Northall

This Honey Badger got an unpleasant surprise when it attacked the normally nocturnal Cape Porcupine.

After a short retreat, the bloodied badger returned. It finished off the porcupine under a bush close to the original attack then dragged it into its underground den.

This fascinating image is part of this year's WPY60 People's Choice Award.

No death, no doom, no anguish can arouse the surpassing despair which flows from a loss of identity.
