Oooh, minus thirty. Scary.

I have no idea how they managed to pick a winner. These are all incredible shots.

The worst/best one is the picture of the monkey being roasted for sale. It's dead, but it's still looking at you... it's really unsettling, but much more affecting and meaningful than the other ones (though they are incredibly beautiful and great examples of the art of photography).

The whale picture I saw in a recent National Geographic. I sat and stared at it for a few minutes, amazed and jealous as hell of that photographer (and, of course, the one who got the shot!).

Also love the macaque--what a face!

Oh god that frog and snake are amazing! I love that the frog's got him by the neck... "not so fast, snakey!"

Any bets on who won the mighty battle between snake and frog? Usually, I'd give it to the snake. But that froggy looks like he's got some mad fightin' skillz.

Or they're making out. In which case, whoo hoo! Miscegenation RULES!

Oh! And be careful - the NG link's other photos are not for the faint of heart.

That monkey is not real. He is a muppet and you cannot tell me otherwise! Quiet - he is about to tell me about sharing.

Are you sure the winner is real? Straight up, looks like the diorama at my local natural history museum.

By which I mean, great pic, photog!

KITTYYYY.

Okay, so... the snake is eating the frog/gecko? Or the other way around? They look like they're making out.

@odinsraven: I love it, too! I went to Monkey World last week, which is a park in England where there are a bunch of Barbary macaques just roaming around eating, playing, picking bugs off one another, and generally being delightful. I struggle to properly express my joy without being able to use hand gestures.

@R-Star: WHERE in England is Monkey World? That sounds awesome. I'm going to have to take Gherkin on a road trip there and give her a lifetime's supply of heebie-jeebies.

Also: do Barbary macaques have amusingly-coloured bottoms? I do so love a funny monkey bum.

@odinsraven: I've always been a primate-lover, too. I went to the Myombe Reserve at Busch Gardens and the mama and baby gorilla came out and sat on a rock in open across from me and I sat there with tears in my eyes for an hour. LOVE the gorillas!

Did anyone click the link and see the eagle one? I think it's almost my favorite.

The first and the last look like those sort of fantasy moonscape style pics I was partial too (think unicorns) as a kid. Which is AWESOME.

Also, I like how the whale looks like it has GIANT googly-eyes!

A "southern right whale?" They've been pretty down since the War of Northern Whale Aggression. The sea shall rise again.
