The results for this year's best wildlife photographs are in
Jose Luiz Rodriguez had planned the photograph for years.
"I wanted to capture a photo in which you would see a wolf in an act of hunting - or predation - but without blood," he told BBC News. "I didn't want a cruel image."
Rodriguez captured his shot, and it won the prestigious Veolia Environment Wildlife Photograph of the Year Award, beating out 43,000 entries.
The competition, now in its 45th year, is run by BBC Wildlife Magazine and the Natural History Museum, London.
An exhibition of the best images from this year's competition opens today at the Natural History Museum.
