The kaye torres sex videoWildlife Photography Awards really is the gift that keeps on giving.
A couple of months back we had the contest's highly commended entries, then we had the overall winners, and now it's time for the People's Choice category.
On Tuesday, London's Natural History Museum — the organisation behind the competition — released a 25-strong shortlist, which ranges from the adorable and the amusing to the dark and disturbing (fair warning, there are a handful of entries right at the bottom of this list that show animals that are either hurt or in captivity — they serve to highlight issues surrounding cruel human treatment of animals, hunting, and the need for conservation but they may well be upsetting, so tread with caution). The following images have been shortlisted from 49,000 entries.
