An image of two elephants fleeing a mob that set
them on fire has won top entry in a wildlife photography competition.
Biplab
Hazra's picture shows a calf on fire as it and an adult elephant run for their
lives in eastern India.
Announcing
the award, Sanctuary magazine said "this sort of humiliation... is
routine".
The
photo was taken in West Bengal, where human-elephant conflict is rife.
It's
unclear what eventually happened to the two elephants in the award-winning
picture, which was taken in Bankura district.
