A wildlife photographer’s 4-year quest ended with a coyote image that looks like a glitch and defies physics

Coyote jumping ice photo : A coyote suspended in midair above a narrow crack in frozen water. A clean, split-second leap over the ice on Lake Superior’s northern shore in northwestern Ontario, Canada and far in the background, the Sleeping Giant sitting quietly over the winter landscape, as per a report. At first glance, the image almost feels unreal, like a moment that shouldn’t quite hold together.
