A flamboyance of flamingos dazzling against a backdrop of power lines, a crafty crab hitching a ride on a jellyfish and a young sloth safe in his mother's embrace are among the shortlisted images for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award 2026.
London's Natural History Museum teamed up with an international judging panel of photography, wildlife, conservation and science experts to select 24 images from a total 60,636 entries submitted from 113 countries.
The overall winner will be chosen by a public vote, the organizers said in a statement.
"Whether showcasing fascinating behavior or platforming a powerful story, this year's selection of images is truly exceptional," Douglas Gurr, the director of the Natural History Museum, said.
As well as cheeky possums and young kestrels readying to make their first flight, this year's gallery also includes images that ask bigger questions about the human impact on the planet.
