An image of two mice fighting over crumbs on the London Underground has been crowned the winner of a prestigious wildlife photography award.


Station Squabble, taken by Sam Rowley, was voted the best image from a 25-picture shortlist selected from 48,000 images submitted to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Lumix People's Choice award.

The photographer spent five nights lying on a "tube" platform to capture the low-angle shot.

"I hope it shows people the unexpected drama found in the most familiar of urban environments," Rowley said.

The 25 images shortlisted for the prize, which is voted for by the public, will be displayed at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington until May 31.

Other highly commended images include Matching Outfits, by Michel Zoghzoghi, showing a jaguar mother and her cub dragging a similarly patterned anaconda across the photographer's path in the Pantanal in Brazil.

The Surrogate Mother, by Martin Buzora, shows a ranger in a park in Kenya looking after an orphaned black rhino. The infant rhinos are cared for at the sanctuary either because of poachers or because their mothers are blind and cannot look after them in the wild.

Losing The Fight, by Aaron Gekoski, captures an orangutan dressed in boxing attire at Safari World in Bangkok.

The shows in the Thai capital were temporarily stopped in 2004 due to international pressure, but they continue with hundreds of people paying to watch the creatures box, dance, and play the drums, the Natural History Museum said.

"Sam's image provides a fascinating glimpse into how wildlife functions in a human-dominated environment. The mice's behavior is sculpted by our daily routine, the transport we use and the food we discard," Museum director Sir Michael Dixon said of the winning picture.

The internet had a lot of thoughts.





"This image reminds us that, while we may wander past it every day, humans are inherently intertwined with the nature that is on our doorstep."

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
