Wildlife photography and nature fans from around the world are being invited to vote for their favourite photo to win the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award 2023. There are 25 images competing to be voted the overall winner to be announced in February 2024. Here's a selection of some of this year's snaps. We think this flock looks like they're forming a bird picture in the sky.
How magical does this picture look. It shows Moon jellyfish swimming in cool autumnal waters in northern Norway illuminated by the famous Aurora Borealis.
This wolf looks very relaxed indeed. The animal, which is the rarest species of wild dog in the world, was photographed in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountains National Park.
This bull elephant was snapped kicking over garbage while scavenging for rotten vegetables and fruit at a dump in Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka.
This fellow is on the hunt for a refreshing drink. It’s known as a Celebes crested macaque, which is a type of monkey, and was photographed at a beach near the Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve, Indonesia.
This adorable snowshoe hare was snapped just as it pulled its feet to its head to make the next big hop across the soft, deep snow in the forests of the Rocky Mountain National Park, USA.
This cuckoo wasp was captured mid-air trying to enter a mason bee’s clay burrow as a smaller cuckoo wasp cleans its wings below.
This grizzly bear was photographed while on its hind legs in Canada’s Chilko River. It stood up to get a better look at the salmon in the shallow water.
This lion cub was snapped while being groomed by a pair of lionesses in Kenya’s Maasai Mara conservation area. Did you know females raise each other’s cubs as their own, sharing parenting duties?
This image shows a humpback whale calf missing some of it’s mother’s milk which drifts and swirls in the currents off the coast of Rurutu in French Polynesia. Humpback whales don’t have lips, so the calves can be clumsy and on very rare occasions miss some of the milk.
This comfy looking polar bear was snapped asleep on its iceberg bed in the far north, off Norway’s Svalbard archipelago.
