Winner – macro: Liftoff

‘Vertical migrations are some of the most remarkable in the world. Billions of animals hide in deep waters and then travel to the surface at night to feed under the cover of darkness. This paper nautilus hitched a ride on a passing jellyfish – a truly unique and magical encounter on one of the world’s greatest vertical currents.’ Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Finalist – aerial: The Chase

‘I’m fascinated by interspecies interactions. I question: is it just social interaction or are these encounters driven by deeper connections, communication, or even cooperation? These two bottlenose dolphins were riding the humpback’s wake then swimming to its eye and pausing. It was like a reunion of old friends in a fleeting moment.’ Nyangbul country, Lennox Head, New South Wales.

#DidYouKnow that the stripes running round a baby dolphins body start off as wrinkles known as 'foetal folds' from the baby being curled up in mums womb for a year, and as the baby fills out in girth from drinking mums rich fatty milk they become stripes and after a year or two they disappear. #Dolphins
A photo showing a tiny baby bottlenose dolphin coming out of the water to breathe beside mum. The little dolphin has visible stripes that run round the body called foetal folds and fade away after a year or two.

A bottlenose dolphin in Shark Bay, Australia sports a sea sponge on its nose – not as a fashion statement, but to help it forage for food. A new study has found that using a sponge helps to protect a dolphin’s beak from sharp rocks while it shovels through rubble at the bottom of sandy channels, stirring up barred sandperch for a meal.
