Check out this year's best wildlife photographers

The winners of this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards have been announced.

The competition is put together by the Natural History Museum, in London.

Lots of different people sent in their finest work - let's look through some of the winning pictures.

Alberto Román Gómez is the winner in the under 10s category. He titled this picture 'Free as a Bird'.

He took the picture of the stonechat bird from the window of his dad's car.

This picture is called Life Under Dead Wood, and it was taken by Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas. He won the 15-17 years category. It shows a springtail - a tiny creature that's only two millimetres long

This picture was taken after a whopping six months of work surveying the locations of lynx. This one - having a stretch on a hill - was found in Russia

And on to another lynx - several if you can spot them - this was the winner of the animal portraits category. John was trekking through the snow for several days, following this family of lynx to try and get this picture

Jack Zhi won the birds category for this picture of a young falcon chasing after a butterfly

Jiří Hřebíček won in the artistic category by shaking his camera deliberately to take this interesting picture of a carrion crow. He called it 'The Artful Crow'

This picture was taken by Robin Darius Conz, from Germany, and he called it 'Tiger in Town'. Robin was working with a documentary team in India when he took the photo

Shane Gross won the Wetlands: The Bigger Picture category for this picture of tadpoles swimming under a layer of lilypads. He snorkelled through a lake for hours before finding the perfect place to photograph the tadpoles

This fascinating picture shows an Amazon river dolphin - which is one of two species of freshwater dolphins living in the Amazon and Orinoco basins. The dolphin is pink, and has evolved to explore the flooded habitats in the rainforest basins
