EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jean-Francois Monier, a smooth-coated otter named Lutrogale perspicillata finds solace from the scorching heatwave that has engulfed northern Europe. The image showcases the adorable creature playfully frolicking in a refreshing pool at La Fleche zoo in north-western France on August 4,2018. As temperatures soar to record highs, animals seek respite just like humans do. This horizontal shot perfectly illustrates the offbeat charm of this particular moment. With its sleek coat glistening under the sunlight, the otter seems to revel in every splash and dive it takes. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every detail of this lively illustration: from its mischievous expression to tiny water droplets cascading off its fur. It's as if time stands still for this playful loutre amid an otherwise sweltering environment. This heartwarming scene not only captures our attention but also reminds us of nature's resilience and adaptability during extreme weather conditions. While we may be seeking shelter indoors or cooling ourselves with fans and air conditioning, these remarkable creatures find their own ways to beat the heat. Monier's skillful photography transports us into a world where even amidst rising temperatures, joy can be found through simple pleasures such as playing in water. This photo serves as a delightful reminder that even during challenging times, there is always room for laughter and enjoyment – no matter how small or furry
