Stoats, a kind of short-tailed weasel, are recognized for his or her mesmerizing dances, a distraction tactic that entails twists and leaps just like the one captured by photographer Jose Grandío. Leaping above the snowy panorama, the ermine bends its tiny physique and opens its mouth in an extravagant gesture. Grandío’s shot is one in all a dozen winners within the 2022 BigPicture Natural World Photography competitors, which showcases the gorgeous range of life around the globe. Just like the 2021 contest, this yr’s iteration focuses on the chance the local weather disaster poses to the ecosystem and creatures so deftly captured by a world group of photographers.
