David Shepherd 'Art of Survival' Award
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
“The Fish Eaters” depicts a large scene of crocodiles relaxing on the river bank of the Tinga river in Zakouma (Chad) as witnessed by Detlef Tibax whilst travelling there. He said: “These individuals are almost exclusively eating fish and would often slide into the water to catch them and lift them onto the river bank. A spectacular event to witness.”
