Top Breathtaking Photo Footages For Top Wildlife

[Watson]

Here are breathtaking 20 top photo footages for top wildlife around the world, captured by Photographers as shared by Daily Mail UK.

The thread happens to be a series of pictures shortlisted for the top wildlife photography award for the National Wildlife Magazine's photo contest that received over 40,000 entries of photos from different photographers around the world

While the Grand Prize winner of the just concluded 2021 contest was an orangutan escaping flooded forest floor, the photo footage is listed second on this thread 'Top Breathtaking Photo Footages For Top Wildlife',

While many believe the orangutan photo footage won the grand prize because it highlights the impact of deforestation on the life of wildlife and its effect on the ecosystem

To get you started, World Forum. begins with highlighting the Huge Humpback Whale
