英国自然历史博物馆举办的年度野生动物摄影师大赛几个月前公布了获奖佳作。现在自然历史博物馆邀请大众投票从中选出自己最喜欢的照片，一起来看看哪些作品人气最高？ 　　

　　

　　阿米维塔莱的《最后的再见》 　　

　　

　　约瑟夫瓦奇拉在肯尼亚北部保护区野生动物保护中心去世前，安慰着地球上最后一只雄性北方白犀牛苏丹。 　　

　　

　　安德鲁李的《family portrait》 　　

　　

　　拍摄一张妈妈、爸爸和他们的八只小鸡的全家福对安德鲁来说很棘手——他们从来没有聚在一起摆出一个完美的10。经过许多天的等待，当爸爸不见了，妈妈和她的一窝孩子突然睁大眼睛看着他的方向——这是他第一次看到他们在一起。他迅速抓住了这个宝贵的时刻。 　　

　　

　　尼尔安德森的《德雷做梦》 　　

　　

　　随着天气越来越冷，两只欧亚红松鼠（只有一只清晰可见)在一个盒子里找到了安慰和温暖，这个盒子是尼尔放在苏格兰高地他家附近的一棵松树上的。 　　

　　

　　维姆范登西弗的《狮子王》 　　

　　

　　当维姆看着这只巨大的雄狮躺在一块巨大的花岗岩岩石上时，一阵冷风吹过坦桑尼亚塞伦盖蒂的广阔平原。一场暴风雨即将来临，当最后一缕阳光穿透云层时，狮子抬起头，朝维姆的方向瞥了一眼，给了他一个完美时刻的完美画像。 　　

　　

　　吉列尔莫埃斯特韦斯的《亲密接触》 　　

　　

　　这只狗脸上焦虑的表情说明了一切，提醒人们驼鹿是大型的、不可预测的野生动物。 　　

　　

　　萨姆斯洛斯的《关上前门》 　　

　　

　　值得注意的是，这只小章鱼用蚌壳、椰子，甚至玻璃瓶来建造自己的保护性庇护所！ 　　

　　

　　道格拉斯吉米斯的《蝙蝠女侠》

"A Window To Life" By Sergio Marijuán Campuzano

　　

Two Iberian lynx kittens, Quijote and Queen, play in the abandoned hayloft where they were born. Extremely curious, but a bit scared as well, they started exploring the outside world through the windows of their straw-bale home.

　　

"A Special Moment" By Oliver Richter

　　

This family portrait is at the beavers’ favourite feeding place and, for Oliver, the image reflects the care and love the adult beavers show towards their young.

　　

"The Alpha" By Mogens Trolle

　　

When a male becomes alpha, he undergoes physical changes that accompany a rise in testosterone levels, and this results in the colours on his snout becoming much brighter. With the loss of status, the colours fade.

　　

"Resting Dragon" By Gary Meredith

　　

This long-nosed dragon positioned itself on a piece of wire mesh outside a workshop, waiting for the sun’s rays.

　　

"The Real Garden Gnomes" By Karine Aigner

　　

The owls dig their own burrows and are happy to take up residence on meticulously manicured lawns, the perfect place to hunt insects and lizards.

　　

"Baby On The Rocks" By Frédéric Larrey

　　

When this six-month-old snow leopard cub wasn’t following its mother and copying her movements, it sought protection among the rocks.

　　

"Turtle Time Machine" By Thomas Peschak

　　

During Christopher Columbus’s Caribbean voyage of 1494, green sea turtles were said to be so numerous that his ships almost ran aground on them. Today the species is classified as endangered. However, at locations like Little Farmer’s Cay in the Bahamas, green turtles can be observed with ease. An ecotourism project run by fishermen (some who used to hunt turtles) uses shellfish scraps to attract the turtles to the dock. Without a time machine it is impossible to see the pristine turtle population, but Thomas hopes that this image provides just a glimpse of the bounty our seas once held.

　　

"Border Refuge" By Joseph Dominic Anthony

　　

Joseph wanted to convey the story and mood of Mai Po in a single balanced photograph, combining individuals and the behaviour of multiple species in the context of their wider environment, particularly to juxtapose the proximity of the everencroaching urban development.

　　

"Licence To Kill" By Britta Jaschinski

　　

This zebra head was confiscated at a border point in the USA. Most likely, the hunter was not able to show proof that the zebra was killed with a license. Britta found the use of a shopping trolley to move the confiscated item ironic, posing the question: wildlife or commodity?

　　

"White Danger" By Petri Pietilinen

　　

The bear was making its way towards a steep cliff and the birds that were nesting there. It tried and failed several routes to reach them, but perseverance, and probably hunger, paid off as it found its way to a barnacle goose nest. Panic ensued as the adults and some of the chicks jumped off the cliff, leaving the bear to feed on what remained.

　　

"Drawn And Quartered" By Laurent Ballesta

　　

Scraps of grouper flesh fall from the jaws of two grey reef sharks as they tear the fish apart.

　　

"Backstage At The Circus" By Kirsten Luce

　　

At the Saint Petersburg State Circus, bear trainer Grant Ibragimov performs his daily act with three Siberian brown bears. The animals rehearse and then perform under the lights each evening. In order to train a bear to walk on two feet, Kirsten was told that they are chained by the neck to the wall when they are young to strengthen their leg muscles.
