9 fascinating images from the Royal Society Publishing Photography Prize
Four young blacktip reef sharks glide through a school hardyhead silversides in the shallow waters of the Maldives. The fish scatter, trying to avoid the hungry predators. The moment (seen below) is captured from a drone above by Dr. Angela Albi. Albi's compelling image documenting the dynamics of predator and prey relationships took home the 2024 Royal Society Publishing Photography Prize. "Just after sunrise or before sundown, the shallow waters of the Maldives become a clear, see-through surface," Albi, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour, said.
