Wildlife Photographer Of The Year 2017 – Finalists

Saved but caged by Steve Winter (US)

The back leg of this Sumatran tiger cub was so badly mangled by a snare it had to be amputated. He was trapped for four days before being discovered in a rainforest on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is likely the snare was set by oil-palm plantation workers.
