EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the extraordinary dining habits of ANZ-1147, a water shrew residing in the picturesque valley of river Pra. This adult shrew knows how to indulge like no other, consuming several times its own weight in food every single day! No wonder it needs frequent but brief power naps to recover from such epic feasting. As a typical species among its shrew companions, our little friend has found an oasis of culinary delights near Ryasan town in European Russia's Nature Reserve "Okskii". With autumn setting in and September painting the landscape with vibrant hues, ANZ-1147 takes a well-deserved break after yet another gastronomic adventure. This print by Andrey Zvoznikov perfectly captures the essence of wildlife marvels hidden within Russian territories. It reminds us that even tiny creatures like shrews can possess incredible appetites and bring joy to nature enthusiasts worldwide. So next time you're feeling peckish or craving some serious grub, remember ANZ-1147—the ultimate foodie restau-rat-eur who never settles for anything less than devouring its own weight daily! Bon appétit!
