Take a look at the best wildlife photos of the year

The winners of the 2018 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition have been revealed at a ceremony at the Natural History Museum in London.

Dutch photographer Marsel van Oosten has won the top prize for his stunning image of a pair of golden snub-nosed monkeys in China’s Qinling Mountains – the only habitat for these endangered primates.

The Young Photographer of the Year trophy went to 16-year-old Skye Meaker, who snapped an extraordinary shot of a beautiful leopard waking up from a peaceful sleep at the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana.

The two images were selected from 19 category winners, all depicting the incredible diversity of life on our planet.
