In Pictures: Stunning snaps from Wildlife Photographer of Year award

By The Press Association Oct 14, 2020

A Siberian tigress hugging a fir tree and a fox cub trying to eat a barnacle goose were among the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contenders.

A profile shot of a young male proboscis monkey and a tigress hugging a tree are among the striking images captured on camera for this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

The Duchess of Cambridge, patron of the Natural History Museum and a keen photographer herself, announced the winner in the London tourist attraction’s famous Hintze Hall.

Russian photographer Sergey Gorshkov scooped the prestigious Natural History Museum prize with his image The Embrace, showing a Siberian tigress hugging a fir tree.

Here are some of the category-winning images:
