World Nature Photography Awards 2025: Check out these incredible photos

There were thousands of entries for this year's competition

The winners of the World Nature Photography Awards 2025 have been revealed, and the photos are truly out of this world.

There was some tough competition this year, with thousands of entries from 48 countries across six different continents.

However, it was Maruša Puhek's beautiful black and white photo of two deer running through a vineyard blanketed in snow in Slovenia that caught the judges attention.

The overall winner was this picture of a pair of deer in Slovenia

There were lots of other pictures that made an impact, including this funny one below.

The blue-tailed damselfly was snapped while it perched on a daisy in Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire.

The bright yellow background really makes the insect's huge green eyes pop.

This brightly coloured guinea fowl is certainly not camera shy.

It was photographed close up in Tanzania.

The birds, which are native to Africa, are known for their dark grey feathers and the white spots that cover their bodies.

Have you ever seen a blue-spotted mudskipper?

The fish is also known as Boleophthalmus pectinirostris, and the one below was photographed leaping out of the water in Australia.

Can you see the bright blue spots on its back?

How brave is this agama lizard?

This black and white photograph was taken in Tanzania.

It shows the tiny reptile getting up close and personal with a huge sleeping lion!

This sea turtle looks like it's having a brilliant time.

The photo, taken underwater in Egypt, shows it gracefully gliding through the waters.

It even seems to have a companion - perhaps a friend or a tasty meal...

These little creatures, known as paper nautilus, are actually a type of octopus.

This striking image of the bright orange males was taken in the Philippines.

Female and male paper nautilus can look quite different. In fact, females can be eight times as big and up to 600 times heavier than males.

This great grey owl looks truly majestic.

It was photographed in California as it flew past a big red car.

The bird looks incredibly relaxed as it soars through the air.

How adorable is this baby fox?

The youngster was snapped as it took a giant leap in Alberta, Canada.

It looks like it was probably a successful landing.

Take a look at this huge polar bear.

This image was taken in Finland and features the huge mammal swimming through the cold water.

Polar bears have a high percentage of body fat which helps keep them warm in the super cold conditions.
