In pictures: The winning shots from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025

Sure, most of our camera rolls will feature snaps of that cute pooch that was sat opposite us on the train or those horses we passed on a countryside walk, but the winners of 2025’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards know a thing or two about catching our planet’s brilliant creatures at their most dramatic. 

This week, winners across various categories were announced at a ceremony at London’s Natural History Museum, and while there was a shedload of impressive images, we’ve rounded up a selection of our favourites below.   

Head to the Natural History Museum’s website for a gallery of all the winning photos, plus information on the exhibition and how to get tickets. 

Oh, and take a look back at the first batch of stunning images that were announced back in August. 

Did you see that the world’s most powerful passports have been named – with one surprising country dropping out of the top 10?
