Common dolphins charging a 'ball' of bait during the sardine run off the east coast of South Africa.
Here at The Year in Pictures, we always enjoy a good animal picture (and we've been incredibly busy setting up the new gallery) so to keep things fresh and for a change of pace are a selection of some of the shortlisted wildlife images from the Sony World Photography Awards.
Ken Conger. A gathering of bald eagles in South Alaska.
Alejandro Jose De Oliveira Sanchez. Jellyfish.
Federico Veronesi. African elephants in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Lisa Maree Williams.

I also enjoy a "good" animal picture.
An animal image captures my interest when it reveals something of life as felt outside our own small, self-absorbed worlds.
The dance of dolphins and sardines does this, as does the koala image. Thank you!
Oh wow. These are beautiful. The shot of African elephants is superb.
The image of the joey koala is incredibly depressing. Sweet but depressing.
love these.
the ken conger image puts my hellish day in perspective! the federico veronesi is spectacular.
the elephants..... incredible!
