Roundup at Revillagigedo. The finalist of aquatic life. Rich in the nutritious and planktonic waters of the Reviglageggedo archipelago, Mexico, create an unusually healthy ecosystem. There were more than 1000 best predators, including many sharks and yellow-brown tuna. (Photo: Ralph Pace / BigPicture).

"Feather in flame." The finalist of the winged life. Farmers in Singura, West Bengal, India, burn the stubble left after harvesting, and black drongos attack insects fleeing from the flames. (Photo by Kallol Mukherjee / BigPicture Natural World Photography Competition 2017)

"Synchronized sleepers." Man / Finalist of nature. Franco Banfi and his fellow divers followed this pod of sperm whales in the Caribbean from the Commonwealth of Dominica when they suddenly plunged into a vertical sleep. For the first time observed in 2008, scientists found that these massive marine animals spend about 7 percent of their time.

"Camokuna Lava Fireman 25". Landscapes, water landscapes and the winner of the flora. During the week in January, a constant stream of lava, called a fireman, suddenly pushed out of the underground lava tube at the base of Kilauea volcano Hawaii and spilled into the Pacific Ocean. As the molten rock met with colder sea water, air, sand and pieces of cooled lava exploded into the air. (Photo: Jon Cornforth / BigPicture).

"The pandas have gone wild." Winner of man / nature. At the Hetaoping Research and Conservation Center in Wolong's Nature Reserve in China, teenage giant pandas were raised with the hope that one day they would return them to the wild. To ensure that young pandas are not captured and attached to their caregivers, the staff of the center wear suits that mimic the characteristic black and white picture of animals.

"Snowball". Winged winner of life. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico is home to a huge population of snow geese, in part because of the overgrown fields of grain that have appeared on their migration routes over the last 60 years. Going down into huge flocks, geese leave traces of hobbling plants and are exposed to soil, which can take decades to recover. (Photo by Denise Ippolito / BigPicture).

«Mantis Mom». Winner of aquatic life. Surrounded by black volcanic sands, a peacock-mantis shrimp stands over its ribbon-like mass of fertilized eggs in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. (Photo by Filippo Borgi / BigPicture, competition for participation in the natural world contest 2017)

"Salmon traps." Terrestrial wild nature. To capture this view of the grizzly bear's mother and her cub, photographer Peter Mather set a camera trap on a log that he knew bears tend to cross during salmon fishing in the watershed of the Yukon River in Canada. (Photo: Peter Mather / BigPicture).

«Sea Jewels». Art of Nature. Dozens of seamen-seamen up to three inches long, which are seen in a bucket of water in the National Marine Reserve in Monterey, California. (Photo by Jodi Frediani / Competition on "World Photography on BigPicture 2017)

"Ecosystem". Winner of terrestrial wildlife. The termite mound in the national park of Emas, Brazil, shines with the light produced by the beetle larvae. (Photo: Marcio Cabral / BigPicture).

"The bigger, the better". A land finalist of wild nature. Monkey macaques shrink together on the island of Shodosima, Japan, combining body heat with a drop in temperature. (Photo by Alexander Bonnefoy / Competition on the theme "World Photography" BigPicture 2017)
