50 of the World’s Most Gorgeous Photos of Animals

Earlier this year, the photography app <a href="https://agoraimages.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Agora</a> challenged photographers to submit photos of living creatures from around the world for a contest focused on celebrating the diverse and precious life on our planet. More than 13,000 photos were submitted to the contest before the winner — a dazzling photo of an iguana by Indonesian photographer <a href="https://web.agoraimages.com/profile/78fcb267-cfac-41c6-a61c-fb3dd7b46371" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">JJN Matt</a>—was crowned. From an absolutely charming shot of an arctic fox cub trying (and adorably failing) to look tough to a magical image of a highland cow storming through a misty heather field in the Netherlands to a heartbreaking photo of a devoted dog lying on his master’s gravestone in Bangladesh, each of the finalists has something new to tell us about the beautiful, enchanting, and distinctive creatures who populate the planet. These are 50 of the most captivating photographs from the contest. <a href="https://tenderly.medium.com/50-of-the-worlds-most-gorgeous-photos-of-animals-c52941a5f660">Read More</a>
