Animal Planet


Alexander Safonov.
 Common dolphins charging a 'ball' of bait during the sardine run off the east coast of South Africa.


Here at The Year in Pictures, we always enjoy a good animal picture (and we've been incredibly busy setting up the new gallery) so to keep things fresh and for a change of pace are a selection of some of the shortlisted wildlife images from the Sony World Photography Awards.


Ken Conger. A gathering of bald eagles in South Alaska.



Alejandro Jose De Oliveira Sanchez. Jellyfish.



Federico Veronesi. African elephants in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.



Lisa Maree Williams.
