Caption: Baby foxes, known as kits, spend their first weeks close to the den while their parents provide food and protection. During this time, they grow rapidly and use play to develop coordination and social awareness. As they mature, these early interactions help build strength, balance, and the skills needed before they begin venturing farther from the den with adults. 📸 @karl.ramsdell

Caption: Astrophotographer Evan McKay captured this incredible view of the Andromeda Galaxy above a snow-covered mountain. Images like this are created using long-exposure astrophotography and careful processing, revealing details and scale that aren’t visible to the naked eye. But the reality behind it is just as powerful. You’re not seeing Andromeda as it is today, but as it was 2.5 million years ago. That’s how long its light has taken to reach Earth. Every time you look at the night sky, you’re looking back in time. Image Credit: : @galactic_kiwi

Caption: Whale watchers off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, were stunned when a rare white orca appeared swimming with its pod ✨ Photographer Noriyuki Hayakawa captured the incredible moment, with experts suggesting the unusual coloring may be caused by a rare condition such as leucism or albinism. 📸: @shiretoko_orca_photo_album

Location: Namib Desert
Caption: The Namib Desert spans the coasts of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, making it one of Africa’s most dramatic natural landscapes. Considered one of the oldest deserts on Earth, its towering red dunes, sun-scorched valleys, and wild Atlantic shoreline create a sight that feels almost otherworldly. A true reminder of how raw and enduring Africa’s landscapes are. (📸: @jessartes @adyleao @okuyaadventures)

Caption: Meet Mitesh Patil, a creative Indian photographer who turns sunsets into magic. He is widely recognized for his imaginative “sun-centered” photography that transform everyday sunsets into playful visual illusions. Patil’s signature style plays with perspective, turning the setting sun into a prop. In their images, it looks like people are kicking it like a soccer ball, holding it in their hands, or even using it as a glowing light bulb, blending imagination with everyday scenes in a way that feels playful and surreal. He transforms the fleeting “golden hour” into interactive visual stories, proving that true art isn’t just about what you see, but how you choose to see it. Photographer: @mitz_patil

Caption: Imagine a map of Earth without borders, focused entirely on nature. Anton Thomas’s “Wild World” (2023) is a hand-drawn cartographic masterpiece that reimagines the Earth as a unified wilderness by removing all man-made borders, cities, and human structures. Created over three years (July 2020 – July 2023) using only colored pencils and pens, the map focuses on “emotional geography”, highlighting the planet’s natural beauty and biodiversity. The map features precisely 1,642 species, each meticulously researched and placed in its native habitat. To maintain authenticity, Thomas followed three strict rules for every animal included: they must be wild, native to their region, and extant (not extinct). While artistic, it remains a highly accurate physical map based on the Natural Earth projection, detailing everything from mountain ranges and river systems to waterfalls and underwater topography. In place of political entities, the map highlights natural landmarks and often uses names preferred by local inhabitants. Ultimately, Thomas intended the work to be a celebration of biodiversity, a reminder that despite our ecological challenges, much of the world remains wild and worth protecting.

Location: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda
Caption: 🇺🇬 In the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, a unique population of tree-climbing lions has become famous for spending hours stretched across large fig trees, a behavior rarely seen in most lion populations. Researchers believe one reason for this unusual habit is to escape the constant irritation of biting tsetse flies and other insects found on the ground. By climbing into the cooler branches, the lions can rest more comfortably while also avoiding the daytime heat of the savannah. The sight of massive lions balancing effortlessly on tree limbs often looks unreal, almost like a glitch in nature, since lions are traditionally known as ground-dwelling predators. Over time, the behavior has become closely associated with the Ishasha lions, turning them into one of Uganda’s most fascinating wildlife attractions. Scientists also suggest the trees may provide better visibility over prey and surrounding territory, but the tsetse fly theory remains one of the most popular explanations behind this strange feline adaptation. 📸 @engagisafarisltd / Extreme Frontiers

Caption: Deep in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, members of the Buton tribe are known for their striking blue eyes.. a rare and fascinating feature in the region. 🇮🇩 The unique eye color is believed to be linked to Waardenburg syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can affect pigmentation in the eyes, hair, and skin. Rather than coming from outside ancestry, the trait is the result of a natural genetic mutation passed down through generations within the community. Photos by: @geo.rock888

Caption: Last year, one of my ( @willbl ) camera traps spent months overlooking this secluded river crossing in a closed-off part of Kenya’s Maasai Mara. I placed it there in collaboration with The Safari Collection, the Narok County Government, and the Maasai Mara National Reserver Rhino Unit to help document how black rhinos and other wildlife were using these dense, hard-to-monitor forest corridors. The aim was not only to create photographs, but also to support rhino monitoring in an area where direct sightings can be difficult. What the camera revealed was a world far removed from the open plains most people associate with the Mara. The setup used one of my own Camtraptions camera trap systems, which I’ve developed to photograph elusive and nocturnal wildlife in remote places. A big thank you to everyone who played a part in this project — it was truly a team effort. Particular thanks to the rangers who helped identify locations and looked after the cameras while I was away. Photographer: Will Burrard-Lucas @willbl

Caption: Adorable cuties by @y.odamon 😍 Did you know… ❄️ This tiny “snow fairy” is actually one of the most magical little birds on the planet - the long-tailed tit! ✨ In winter, they puff up so much they look like floating snowballs with wings. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 They’re incredibly social - whole families stick together and even help raise each other’s babies. 🪶 If their nest gets destroyed, other birds will literally “adopt” the chicks and care for them. 🏡 Their nests are engineering masterpieces - made from moss, spider silk, and feathers, stretching as the babies grow. 💞 On cold nights, up to 20 birds huddle together to stay warm - like a tiny feathered sleepover.

Caption: 🎭At sunrise, light and atmosphere can sometimes combine to create a stunning optical illusion. During a partial solar eclipse near the horizon, the Sun can appear as two glowing arcs rising from the Earth resembling a pair of fiery horns. This rare phenomenon is known as the Etruscan Vase effect. Caused by the interaction of the eclipse, atmospheric distortion, and the low angle of the Sun, the illusion briefly transforms an ordinary sunrise into something that feels almost mythological. 📸By @eliaschasiotis
