"Stuck Squirrel" by Milko Marchetti
Milko Marchetti's photo won first place in the "Mammals" category and the contest's grand prize.
"I have taken many, many photographs of squirrels in many situations over the years in Italy, but this one struck me as really funny and such a strange position because it is that exact moment when the squirrel is detaching its back legs from the trunk to enter its hide. Whenever I show this image at the nature seminars at my local photography club, the audience always explodes with raucous laughter, so I had to enter it!" he says.
Earlier, National Geographic presented its "Pictures of the Year" selection, featuring the most exciting photographs from around the world.
