A poignant image of a female elephant carrying her dead calf in the Huab River Valley, Namibia, has won the top prize in this year’s wildlife photography competition.
Italian photographer Federico Veronesi claimed the overall title of Wildlife photographer of the year with his shot, The Aftermath, which offers a glimpse into elephant behaviour and the possible expression of grief in animals.
Run by London’s Natural History Museum, the annual competition received a record-breaking 65,403 entries from 121 countries and territories this year.
