A Curious Fox Won The Main Prize At The Mammal Photographer Of The Year Contest

A daring fox, a flying dolphin, and a posing seal are just some of the winning pics from the 2020 amateur photo competition, Mammal Photographer of the Year.

The winning photo, called "Foxhall Zafira", was taken by Roger Cox from London after the fox had jumped onto his car. Roger says foxes often jump on cars to find wild cherries that have dropped from the trees: "I took this picture…when it jumped up on my car to investigate if there was anything of interest for it, as I'd seen it do several times before," he said.

Here are the winning photos this year.
