A black rhino rests under a rainbow at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. In 2024, 21 black rhinos were moved to their new home at Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. Kenyaís black rhino population was poached almost to extinction and went from a low of 290 animals to 1004 today. They are expanding their habitat and it is a testament to Kenyaís conservation efforts. Ami Vitaleís career stands as a testament to her deep dedication to documenting and addressing global crises. As an acclaimed National Geographic photographer, writer, and documentary filmmaker, as well as the founder of Vital Impacts, Ami has consistently spotlighted critical issues affecting our world. Her journey began in conflict zones, where she observed firsthand how environmental degradationófrom resource scarcity to climate changeóintensifies human suffering and conflict.

A malabar gliding frog struggles and holds on to twigs to try and escape from the venomous, strong bite of its predator - a Malabar pit viper. The viper didn't let go of the frog, and the frog didn't let go of the twigs either, until it had a little life left in it. However, the frog had to give up finally, and the snake won, and swallowed this beautiful green frog. This is a stack of two images, one for frog eyes, and another for the snake's eyes. We had almost given up hopes of finding any subjects in the rainforest of Agumbe, India, due to heavy rains, but decided to stop at one last place on the way back to our stay, and this was our lucky and only find for the night.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2024 SCOTT FRIER Ocean Shores United States Title: Nagging is a Universal Concept Description: I liked this image as It reminds me of the old TV commercial for Maxell audio cassette tapes called: "Blown Away Guy". On safari in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania we hung around a Kopji of rocks because there were lion cubs being nursed when this action happened. I was just lucky enough to catch it. I have this image printed and hung on a wall of my home, everybody who sees it laughs at it. One of those people mentioned that I should entered it in this contest so here it is.
