Snuggling lions, icy willows, and a napping bear cub who's not alone are among the winners of this year's contest.
A touching image of two male lions sharing a tender moment in the midst of a heavy downpour was one of the four highly commended photos. Ashleigh McCord of the United States captured the photo of the pair while visiting the Maasai Mara in Kenya. McCord said the affectionate behavior got more intense as the rain got heavier, and at one point the deluge got so intense she could barely see the cuddly cats through the rain.
This haunting image of an eastern grey kangaroo and her joey captures the plight of Australian animals in the wake of devastating bushfires that ravaged parts of New South Wales and Victoria in 2020. Jo-Anne McArthur of Canada took this photo at a burned eucalyptus plantation, which she did to document the effects of the fires on wildlife.
