probably an .htaccess question about images

I observed on some sites where they have an image displayed in an HTML page, which, on right click > properties > Address (URL) will show eg. http://www.surpasshosting.com/image/animal.jpg

however, if i keyed that URL into the address bar, I will be redirected to the same HTML page. and If i try to "save picture as", i will be saving the HTML file instead.

In short, this prevents people from stealing images directly. Indirectly, people can print screen if they are desperate or maybe the temporary files folder may have a copy of the image, which i am not sure (someone tell me pls).

How can I implement this?

Thanks!
