Are these the most stunning wildlife photos ever? Jaw-dropping pictures showing nature in all its glory go on sale for charity




The environmental non-profit Vital Impacts is selling over 100 stunning photos to benefit the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots and Shoots youth program. The shots were taken by a series of renowned nature photographers, including Jimmy Chin, Beth Moon, Steve McCurry, Xavi Bou, and David Doubile. The photos were taken all over the world, and include images of sleeping sperm whales, posing polar bears, swimming elephants, and mountain lions lurking beneath the Hollywood sign. The proceeds of the sales go to Goodall's organization, along with an environmental-photography mentorship program organized by Vital Impacts.

    The picture of the male lion watching the approaching storm clouds, seems to me like he see's these clouds as the clouds of extinction of his species approaching, and even though he is the king, there is nothing he can do about it.

    'World's loneliest albatross' named Albie and a rare multi-coloured sea slug are among the most incredible wildlife sightings off the UK coast in 2022



    The Wildlife Trusts' annual marine review has highlighted some of the most extraordinary wildlife sightings in UK waters this year. Top sightings include a colourful sea slug spotted in UK waters for the first time. The slug, called Babakina anadoni, was found by a diver off the coast of the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago southwest of Cornwall on July 29. It's just 0.8 of an inch (2cm) long, less than half the size of a little finger, and is covered with an array of jewel-like 'cerata'. Also included in the list is a swordfish that turned up off the Isle of Man in August, and a 100-year-old Greenland shark that washed up on these shores for only the second time ever. But Wildlife Trusts has warned of 'huge threats to marine life', including avian flu that has killed tens of thousands of seabirds.

    Asia's oldest-known stegosaur, frogs smaller than a penny and a tiny beetle trapped in Ukrainian amber are among 351 new animal and plant species uncovered by Natural History Museum scientists in 2022




    Natural History Museum names 351 new animal and plant species its uncovered this year
    From the oldest-known stegosaur to frogs smaller than a penny, scientists at the Natural History Museum in London have uncovered 351 new animal and plant species this year. While these creatures may have already been observed by humans around the world, 2022 saw them being officially named and documented, aiding their protection for future generations. They were mostly invertebrates - as these make up the majority of the animals on Earth - with hundreds of new species of beetle, moth, stick insect and wasp, but also fish, frogs and minerals. Fossil discoveries also resulted in the identification of new species of dinosaurs and ancient mammals, including the oldest lizard known to science.
