D'oh! This flying lion cub was playing with his sibling in a tree when he tried to climb down. Don't worry, he was just fine though after landing on the ground. He got up and ran off with his friends! This photo won the overall prize for 2022.

It might look like a winged horse at first glance but take a closer look and you'll see it's actually an antelope called a bluebull with a crane hiding behind it! The large bird was scaring the antelope off in India's Keoladeo national park as he got a little too close to its nest.

This picture of a Picasso Triggerfish was taken in Marsa Shagra in Egypt. It might look like it's singing along to a song, but in fact it had just spat out some coral after nibbling on it!

What a QUACKING idea! This picture, taken in the Juanita wetlands in America, shows a duckling waddling across a turtle covered log. Well, that's certainly one way to cross the water!
