11 Of The Best Animal Photographs You'll See All Year

Nature is stunning.

A baby baboon with a tire, a snake slithering on a rock and three resting polar bears — they’re all winners in our book!

On top of that, they’re also winners according to the Zoological Society of London, which announced the champion images for the 2016 ZSL Animal Photography Prize.

The images will be on display starting Friday through February 2017 at the ZSL London Zoo. The top prize went to a photograph of a fan-throated lizard by Pratik Pradhan.

Check out the images!
