Another shows crabeater seals on an ice floe&nbsp;in the Antarctic. The seals depend on sea ice and krill for survival, but sea ice in the region is expected to diminish as a result of climate change, and several countries are looking to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/3891-krill-fishers-agree-to-partial-ban-in-antarctic\/\">develop krill fishing<\/a>&nbsp;in the Southern Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian Owens, director of Science at the Natural History Museum and member of the judging panel hopes the winning images will \u201craise awareness for threatened species and ecosystems\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographs from this year\u2019s competition also highlight direct interactions between animals and people. In one image, a chained long-tailed macaque,&nbsp;trained to perform tricks for passers-by in Indonesia, is grimly forced&nbsp;to&nbsp;wear a clown mask. In another, a critically endangered Marsican brown bear can be seen crossing a road next to a village in Italy. The bears often raid bins and vegetable patches for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2018 winners were chosen from 45,000 entries from photographers across 95 countries, according to the museum. The competition was first held in 1965 and organised by BBC&nbsp;<em>Wildlife Magazine<\/em>&nbsp;(then called&nbsp;<em>Animals<\/em>). It was later developed by the Natural History Museum, which now runs the annual contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhm.ac.uk\/visit\/exhibitions\/wildlife-photographer-of-the-year.html\">exhibition<\/a>\u00a0will show at the National History Museum in London from October 19 to the summer of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image aligncenter block--story-image block--story-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1800x1201.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Marsel_van_Oosten_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"Golden snub-nosed monkeys in the mountain areas\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><strong>The golden couple by Marsel van Oosten, The Netherlands<\/strong><br\/><strong>Grand Title Winner 2018, Animal Portraits<\/strong><br\/><br\/>A male Qinling golden snub-nosed monkey rests briefly on a stone seat.

The species are widespread in Antarctica but dependent on sea ice for resting, breeding, avoiding predators and accessing feeding areas. Despite their name, crabeaters feed almost exclusively on Antarctic krill, using their interlocking, finely lobed teeth to sieve the small crustacean from the water. Krill is also dependent on sea ice, which provides winter shelter and food (algae). So the decline in sea ice will have a knock-on effect on such specialist krill predators, as will overfishing of krill. For the moment, there is no evidence of a decline in their numbers, though counting crabeaters is very difficult.<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/\u00a9_Cristobal_Serrano_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year1.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"558 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1705\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image aligncenter block--story-image block--story-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1800x1200.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Orlando_Fernandez_Miranda_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"a massive desert area\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><strong>Windsweep by Orlando Fernandez Miranda, Spain<br\/>Winner 2018, Earth\u2019s Environments<\/strong><br\/><br\/>Standing at the top of a high dune on Namibia\u2019s desert coastline, where mounds of wind-sculpted sand merge with crashing Atlantic waves, Orlando faced a trio of weather elements: a fierce northeasterly wind, warm rays of afternoon sunshine and a dense ocean fog obscuring his view along the remote and desolate Skeleton\u00a0Coast. Such eclectic weather is not unusual in this coastal wilderness. It is the result of cool winds from the Benguela Current, which flows northwards from the Cape of Good Hope, mixing with the heat rising from the arid Namib Desert to give rise to thick fog that regularly envelopes the coast.

The boundary-post has been chosen with care \u2013 the tree has soft bark, allowing for deep scratch marks that are a clear warning, backed by pungent scent, not to trespass. Jaguars need vast territories to have access to enough prey. But in Mexico, habitat is being lost at a rapid rate as forest is cleared for crops or livestock or for urban development, and much of what remains is fragmented. The loss of even a small area of habitat can cut a jaguar highway between one part of a territory and another and isolate the animal to such an extent that it cannot feed itself or find a mate.<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Alejandro_Prieto_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"1 MB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1707\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image aligncenter block--story-image block--story-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1800x1198.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Marco_Colombo_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"a Marsican brown bear walking on the street in the dark\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><strong>Crossing paths by Marco Colombo, Italy<br\/>Winner 2018, Urban Wildlife<\/strong><br\/><br\/>A shadowy movement caught Marco\u2019s eye as he drove slowly through a village in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park in Italy\u2019s Apennine Mountains.

From elephants stroking the bones of dead family members to dolphins who try to keep dead companions afloat, there is an abundance of credible evidence that many animals \u2013 ranging from primates and cetaceans to cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and some birds \u2013 behave in ways that visibly express grief, though individual reactions vary<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ricardo_Nu_n_ez-Montero_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"1 MB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1947\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image aligncenter block--story-image block--story-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year-1800x1198.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Michael_Patrick_O_Neill_-_Wildlife_Photographer_of_the_Year.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"a flying fish in the deep water\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><strong>Night flight by Michael Patrick O\u2019Neill, USA<br\/>Winner 2018, Under Water<\/strong><br\/><br\/>On a night dive over deep water \u2013 in the Atlantic, far off Florida\u2019s Palm Beach \u2013 Michael achieved a long-held goal, to photograph a flying fish.
