Does a bird get hit in the face by a tuft of grass or breakdancing foxes? It can only mean one thing. Nikon Wildlife Awards Winners Announced! This year the organizers reached a record number of 10,000 applications from 109 countriesthe highest number in the competition’s 10-year history.
The prize was founded in 2015 by British wildlife photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks, who had the idea to create the competition after laughing out loud when he saw a collection of wildlife photos.
This winning photo A gorilla demonstrating his skills in Rwanda was recorded by Mark Meth Cohn. He spent four days hiking through misty mountains in search of gorilla families.
They soon found the Amahoro family, where one of the young men was very fond of showing off. Mark says that The gorilla “did pirouettes, somersaults and high kicks. Watching his performance was pure joy.”.
Grayson Bell took gold in the under-16 junior category.
Grayson photographed green frogs in Maine, USA, and only realized he had captured the moment when he got home. “I showed it to my parents and they loved it too and it became one of my favorite photos,” he said. “We all think that It looked like one frog was trying to baptize the other.“.
These red foxes had a great time showing off their dancing skills. They were photographed by Paula Rustemeier in the Netherlandswho won in the under 25 category. “It’s impossible not to laugh watching the foxes play with their quirky personalities,” he said.
We all have unruly hair days, but this gray squirrel in Canada takes it to another level.
Have you ever met someone who won’t stop talking? Well, I know a bird that does that. These Brünnich’s or Broad-billed Guillemots in Norway are neighbors, although perhaps not for long.
