The grand title winner. As the group of Qinling golden snub-nosed monkeys jumped from tree to tree, our intrepid photographer struggled to keep up, slipping and stumbling over logs. Gradually he learned to predict their behaviour, and captured this male and female resting. With the sun filtering through the canopy, they are bathed in a magical light, their golden hair glowing against the fresh greens of the forest in Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi Province, China.
They were busy at the water’s edge, rolling the soft mud into balls and carrying them to their nearby nests.By day flying fish move extraordinarily fast, but at night they swim slowly just below the surface. By rapidly beating their forked tails, flying fish such as this juvenile propel themselves in the water until they take off at the surface. By holding their long, pointed pectoral fins out stiffly, they can glide in the air for several hundred metres, away from underwater predators.
