Small animals like lizards, chickens, goats, cats and stray dogs are a common sight on Nigeria streets. With the exception of lizards, these animals are usually owned/reared by people. Most of these animals are not cared for, so they often have to fend for themselves. This brings about a fight for survival; a blurring of the line of the food chain as these animals often prey on one another.
Humans prey on the chickens and goats (which are often not their own); the goats prey on human foods that are not properly kept (of course, it’s mostly kitchen waste and leftovers); the dogs prey on the chickens and kitchen wastes and leftovers; the cats too sometimes prey on chickens and lizards and kitchen wastes.
In this picture, a little chick can be seen with a lizard it recently caught hanging from its beak.
Meanwhile, I’m confused as to what category of photography this picture falls in. I’m thinking Wildlife Photography but chicken and lizard are barely wildlife…hence, my confusion.
