Bengal Tigress, India, 1997
Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
A Bengal tigress called Sita rests with one of her trio of six-month-old cubs.
Named after a Hindu goddess, Sita was admired by visitors to India's Bandhavgarh National Park for her keen hunting skills and fierce devotion to her young. Conservationists valued her prolific breeding; during her life she bolstered the local population with six litters.
Poachers are believed to have killed Sita in 2000.

一只名叫斯塔的孟加拉雌虎和她三只六个月大的幼仔中的一只在一起休憩，斯塔的名字来源于一个与印度就有关的女神，她敏锐的狩猎技巧和对孩子们强烈的母爱都被访客们称赞。她一生中最多一窝产下六只小虎，为当地孟加拉虎繁育作出了贡献，她也因此受到自然资源保护学家的重视。
人们相信斯塔在2000年被偷猎者捕杀。

Walleye Wall, Minnesota, 1958
Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
"A wall of walleyes caught by a single family at Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota, ranged from pound-and-a-half sacks to seven-pound feasts. Spurning a long, cold crouch over a hole, this group from Minneapolis pursued their quarry from a snug 42-foot trailer heated with a portable electric generator."
—From "Special Issue: Best of America," September 2002, National Geographic magazine

这竖排成墙的鲥鱼是某个家庭在明尼苏达的米勒湖（Mille Lacs Lake）捕捉的，其重量在1.5磅（0.68公斤）和7磅（3.18公斤）之间。这群明尼阿波利斯人拒绝长时间地蹲伏在冰冷的洞口上，而是用一辆舒适的由便携性发电机发热的拖车来追踪他们的猎物。
