#Animals2020 Captures the Beauty of Wildlife of the World

Edited By: Bhavesh B.

A+ A-

There’s something so pure and reassuring about seeing a wild animal utterly free and at ease in its natural surroundings. Unfortunately, a majority of us haven’t been able to visit any national park or forest reserve this year to gape at animals owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This is where Agora’s #Animals2020 contest has come as a boon for nature lovers.

Agora is a free-to-use mobile app that has launched many wonderful photography competitions in recent times. In August this year, they started the #Animals2020 photo contest and invited photographers all over the world to submit their best shots of living creatures at their finest. The contest received a whopping 13,888 photos of all kinds of animals in different parts of the world. Here, we have selected some of the best photographs from the competition. From African elephants and Icelandic horses to sea turtles and barn owls, these pictures show how beautiful the animal kingdom truly is.
