Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 : Winner stripped of award

No Comments

Jose Luis Rodriguez who initially won and who entered with the “too good to be true photo” is also banned for life for ever entering the competition again.
A group of experts had no doubts. The wolf was exactly the same wolf as one living in Canada Real, a zoological park near Madrid.
