After dark, they were joined by hundreds of grey reef sharks, hunting the groupers in packs.

It is surprising, energetic, and intriguing and has an otherworldly beauty. It also captures a magical moment \u2013 a truly explosive creation of life \u2013 leaving the tail-end of the exodus of eggs hanging for a moment like a symbolic question mark.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhm.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natural History Museum<\/a><\/strong> says, \u2018This year\u2019s Grand Title winner reveals a hidden underwater world, a fleeting moment of fascinating animal behaviour that very few have witnessed. In what could be a pivotal year for the planet, with vital discussions taking place at COP15 and COP26, Laurent Ballesta\u2019s <em>Creation<\/em> is a compelling reminder of what we stand to lose if we do not address humanity&#8217;s impact on our planet. The protection provided to this endangered species by the biosphere reserve highlights the positive difference we can make.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021<\/h3>\n<p>Ten-year old <strong>Vidyun R Hebbar<\/strong> was awarded the <strong>Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021<\/strong> for his colourful image, Dome home, of a tent spider as a tuk-tuk passes by.

The picture is perfectly framed, the focus is spot on. You can see the spider\u2019s fangs and the crazy weave of the trap, the threads like some delicate nerve network linked to the spider\u2019s feet. But the really clever bit is the addition of a creative backdrop \u2013 the bright colours of a motorised rickshaw,\u2019 says Rosamund \u2018Roz\u2019 Kidman Cox OBE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Natalie Cooper, a researcher with the Natural History Museum and jury member<\/strong>, says \u2018The jury loved this photo from the beginning of the judging process.
