Whale Shark, New Guinea
Photograph by Michael Aw
"Suddenly
he just jumped in!" says photographer Michael Aw. Sarmin Tangadji, the
Papua police officer who escorted the photographic team to where the
sharks congregate, "was so excited to see them up close." Aw shares that
excitement when it comes to diving with a dozen whale sharks: "You are
sandwiched in, sharks ahead and behind, but you want to be there," he
says. "They make eye contact with you and then charge by. It blows your
mind."
Cows, India
Photograph by Mariajoseph Johnbasco,
I
shot this calf on the road in 2011 on the eve of Diwali at Neyveli,
which is my hometown. Due to crackers going off everywhere, the cows
couldn’t rest near homes so they sought the middle of the road for rest.
The fog, noise, and the backlighting of the streetlight made me take
this picture.

A pride of lions behaves naturally for the camera—a remote-controlled car outfitted with
still and video cameras to capture the lions at ground level.
Snowy Owl

This snowy owl
was captured during a snowstorm. Unlike most owls, which are nocturnal,
snowy owls are diurnal—they hunt and are active both day and night.

This
picture was taken at Estancia El Condor, a ranch in southern Patagonia,
near the border of Chile. A lonely gaucho surveys his land.
Canadian Lynx, Yukon Territory
A Canadian lynx is seen in the Ogilvie Mountains (Yukon Territory, Canada)
last winter. I followed fresh wolf tracks, north of Tombstone, before I
found this lynx enjoying the sunset. I spent three hours with the
feline, watching him resting, stretching, and hunting snowshoe hares in
the snow.

Elephant Trio, Namibia
Photograph by Susan McConnell,
Two adult elephants and a baby are at a water hole in Etosha National Park in Namibia. The adults appear to be in heated conversation, but the conflict is resolved quickly and peacefully.
