STRIKING images taken across the world show the very best of wildlife photography.
Each photographer who has captured these images is up for a gong at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award.

The chilly trio were captured while huddling together at China’s Qinling Mountains.
Also photographed was Olobor, one of a five-strong coalition of lions in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve.

They are run by the National History Museum in London.
