One of the most remarkable photographs of the year from National Geographic, where the calf, aware of its fate, does not abandon its mother.

Aferrándose a la Vida.

A leopard's jaws cling to the carcass of a baboon. The predator has captured its prey and is willing to take it to its cubs. It's the law of the strongest. However, a small detail powerfully draws attention. Clinging to his mother's infertile body, a baby baboon, with fear reflected in his gaze, resists leaving her behind.

This shocking image was captured by Basque photographer Igor Altuna. Before going viral, the photography was selected to be voted Best of the Year by the London Museum of Natural History, which each year chooses the most striking images of nature.

Altuna himself has explained in several interviews that this "tough" scene is a clear example that "wildlife is usually ruthless and wonderful." And for the little baboon, on that occasion, it turned out to be ruthless.
