Acechando en la noche de Sergio Marijuan Campuzano de Laguna de Duero (Valladolid)
Place: Sierra de Andújar (Jaén)
Description: The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), with its great capacity for mimicry, goes unnoticed in the Mediterranean mountains where there are many mastic trees, shrubs that can be used both to hide and spend the day and to take advantage of them in the hunting technique. In the image, on a cold winter day , a lynx emerges in a lurking attitude from inside the shrub, fixing the magical look of one of its eyes on the outside.

Al borde de la duna de Juan Carlos Muñoz Robredo de Liendo (Cantabria)
Place: Desierto del Namib, Namíbia (África)
Description: It seems unimaginable that the enormous dunes of the Namib Desert have managed to grow and move inland only with the force of the wind moving the sand grains. The presence of the Gemsbok (Oryx gazella), adds a touch of beauty and reality to an inhospitable landscape where this antelope as however managed to survive taking advantage of the humidity brought by the sea breeze that it perfectly captures through the many capillaries it has in its nose.
