This image of a very pregnant caribou was taken in late June a couple years ago at a remote camp near Cape Churchill, Manitoba. At this time of year, the great majority of caribou cows have given birth and have shed their antlers. A herd was moving by the camp and this is one of the few situations where you can get relatively close to these animals. The black specks around its head are mosquitoes - they just started emerging that morning. 20D, 500 f/4, 1/1000, f/9.5, ISO 400. Comments are welcome.
