EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of both awe and caution as two four-month-old crocodiles are carefully held by zookeepers at the Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg. It is during an animal stocktaking event that these young reptiles are being weighed, allowing us to marvel at their impressive growth. The close-up shot reveals intricate details of these wild creatures, showcasing their fearsome teeth and open mouths. The depth of field adds a sense of realism to the image, making it feel like we are right there with them. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the beauty and danger presented by these baby animals. As siblings, they share an unbreakable bond that can be seen in their proximity to one another. Their connection reminds us of the importance of family even within the animal kingdom. Nature's creativity is evident in every aspect - from their unique patterns to their innate ability to instill fear in others. The weathered exterior surroundings serve as a reminder that these crocodiles belong in the untamed wilderness rather than confined spaces. This juxtaposition highlights our fascination with wildlife while also acknowledging its inherent dangers. Photographer Christian Charisius has skillfully captured this extraordinary moment, providing viewers with a glimpse into nature's wonders and reminding us all about the delicate balance between admiration and respect for such magnificent creatures.
