SHARE

The 60th annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest showcased some of the rare wonders of the natural world through breathtaking images. With a record-breaking 59,228 entries from 117 countries and territories, the competition unveiled winners that highlighted the beauty of wildlife and the impact of human activity on the environment.

The grand title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year was awarded to Shane Gross for his captivating image titled “The Swarm of Life.” The photograph captured a legion of western toad tadpoles swimming beneath a blanket of lily pads in Canada’s Cedar Lake. Gross’s dedication to snorkeling for hours to get the perfect shot paid off, showcasing the young toads and their environment in a stunning way.

Another standout image was “Life Under Dead Wood” by 17-year-old photographer Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas, who won the title of Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year. His image of a springtail next to a slime mold highlighted the intricate details of these minuscule organisms found beneath a log in Berlin.

John E Marriott’s photograph “On Watch” captured a family of lynx in the Yukon Territory, showcasing the elusive and wary cats in their natural habitat. The image of a lynx resting with its adult offspring sheltering from the wind was a testament to Marriott’s patience and dedication to wildlife photography.

Other winning images included a juvenile peregrine falcon practicing its hunting skills on a butterfly, a yellow anaconda and a yacaré caiman frozen in a fight, and a carrion crow appearing to be painted in a hazy impressionist artwork.

Photographer Matthew Smith’s image of a leopard seal approaching the camera in Antarctica highlighted the threats faced by these marine mammals due to climate change and overfishing. The photograph served as a reminder of the impact of human activity on wildlife.

Ingo Arndt’s image of red wood ants dismembering a blue ground beetle in Germany showcased the brutal reality of nature, while Justin Gilligan’s photograph of plastic found in the digestive tract of a flesh-footed shearwater bird highlighted the issue of plastic pollution in the oceans.

The contest also recognized conservation efforts, such as Jannico Kelk’s image of a ninu (greater bilby) thriving in a predator-free reserve in Australia, and Hikkaduwa Liyanage Prasantha Vinod’s image of a young toque macaque sleeping in its mother’s arms in Sri Lanka.

Overall, the winning images of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest celebrated the beauty of wildlife while shedding light on the challenges faced by animals in their natural habitats. Through the lens of these talented photographers, viewers were able to witness the wonders of the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts to protect and preserve species for future generations.
