European Brown Bears, Finland - Jul 2016
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/skxn
These stunning photos of brown bears in the forests of Finland are the result of one photographer's endless hours of patience. During his two week trip wildlife photographer Will Nicholls spent 15 hours a day in a tiny wooden hide as he attempted to catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Despite their formidable size, the ancient Taiga forests that the bears call home extend for hundreds of miles meaning it can be extremely hard to spot them. Added to this there are estimated to be just 1,700 European brown bears left in Finland. Will comments: "I spent 15 hours each day, every day for 2 weeks, in a small wooden hide on the Russian Border in Finland. "With the sun never completely setting, I was awake through the night in an effort to spot one of Europe's most elusive mammals: the European brown bear.

Mother wildebeest saves calf from leopard attack, Masai Mara, Kenya - 17 Sep 2013

Protective Wildebeest Mother Leaves Leopard Licking Its Wounds After Failed Attack
This young wildebeest looked destined to become lunch for a hungry leopard - but the big cat hadn't counted on a powerfully protective mother.
These jaw-dropping shots show the predator stalking and then pouncing on the seemingly doomed six-month-old calf.
However, its nearby mother was well-placed to react quickly and counteracted with a precision horned-headbutt to the leopard's upper body.
In a blink of an eye, the stunned cat went from being the attacker to scampering off with its tail between its legs with the angry female in pursuit.
The stunning images were captured by Martin Farrell, 54, from Bristol, who was taking a Kicheche safari camp tour of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya.
His wife Kathy, 58, a recently retired pharmacist, also managed to shoot a dramatic video of the encounter: http://bit.ly/1boNUZM
Kicheche guide Benjamin Kaluena, who spotted the cat and sensed that there may be action, said: "Leopard kills in daylight hours are incredibly rare but in over 5,000 game drives I have never seen anything like this!"
Kathy said: "We have done many safari but have never seen anything remotely like this and somehow Benjamin put us in the right place at the right time."
Kicheche camp co-owner and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains: "Martin and Kathy Farrell stopped to observe a sleeping leopard. It soon awoke and immediately started hunting.
"This was a big, fully adult male after a young wildebeest which, during migration will form a major part of its diet. However, having brought it down with a tackle any rugby wing forward would have been proud of, it was not prepared for the 'mother-lode' of anguish and protection the wildebeest mum threw at him.
"Chastened and bruised it slunk away to lick ...

Ultraviolet Undersea Life
A new collection of photographs capture the beauty of underwater life.
Award-winning photographer Louise Murray has spent the majority of her years travelling the globe documenting awesome scenery and wildlife from every country she has visited.
During that time she has often dived underwater to photograph marine creatures amongst the coral reef.
Her latest collection was captured while diving in the dark waters of Tondoba Bay in the Red Sea of Egypt.
The fluorescent images occur when near an ultraviolet torch.
Highlights include a giant clam that appears dull under natural light but glows bright red under the blue hue; a pipefish hunting at night glows orange and camouflaged fish made visible by the ultraviolet torch reveal their florescent green pigment making them known to their prey.
In comparison to the muted browns, golds, pinks and blues of a coral reef during the daytime "it looks like Oxford Street at Christmas," says Louise.
The wildlife photographer uses a powerful blue light to stimulate photosensitive pigments in the marine life, which then emit fluorescent colours.
Louise explains: "Almost all these photographs were shot after dark as the sunlight masks the colours.
"The stronger the light the better the results, I have to filter my camera and eyes with a yellow mask so the true colours are revealed.
"It can be very exciting when I find a new kind of fish or crab that glows orange, yellow or red, as they are extremely rare."
Louise first started capturing the fluorescent colours of marine wildlife over a decade ago.

Amazing close-up pictures show deadly beauty of mantises, Costa Brava, Spain - 07 Sep 2010
With bulbous eyes and their strange stick-like bodies, these mantises look like creatures from another planet. Perched on the tiny stem of a plant, one insect enjoys a lunch of tiny yellow aphids. Another picture shows a mantis about to pounce on an unwitting butterfly and one incredible shot even shows the creatures in larvae form, not much bigger than a thorn. These incredible close-ups were snapped by wildlife enthusiast Jimmy Hoffman. The 50-year-old scours the vegetation around his home in the Costa Brava, Spain, looking for the insects. He said: "I've been interested in nature since I was a child and I've always had an eye for wildlife, especially insects. "Praying mantids are my favourite because of their special predatory behaviour, shapes and colours".
