Few things are as enveloping as an image of wildlife at work, at play, or (above) asleep in a patch of fireweed in summertime Manitoba.
From thousands of images, National Geographic chose these 21 pictures to reflect the rich variety of Earth’s life. Enjoy!
Here are our top animal photos of the year.

 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY DAVID LIITTSCHWAGER | | | Masters of disguise: Ribboned pipefish (pictured above), like related seahorses or sea dragons, often have to camouflage themselves to stay alive. The family of fish are known for long snouts, fused jaws, bony body armor, and males that incubate eggs. From: The weird, wondrous world of seahorses. | | | |

 | PHOTOGRAPH BY PETE MULLER
| | Learning at home: The mother of photographer and Nat Geo Explorer Pete Muller sits in a darkroom where Pete often accompanied her on assignments growing up. “In those hours in the darkroom, as my mother made enlargements and I ran the prints through the chemicals, she did her best to explain to me what was motivating some of the difficulties we'd captured that day,” he tells us. “This was really the beginning of my social education.”

| | Show Yourself: Arctic researcher Katie Sipes knew she’d be spending time in the far reaches of Norway, scenery that inspired the movie Frozen. So she packed along a costume of her favorite character, Elsa, on a permafrost expedition, and Esther Horvath photographed her in costume during a break. Her day job is urgent, Sipes tells Horvath. “This endangered ecosystem,” Sipes says, “is on the cusp of being lost forever.” | | | |
 | PHOTOGRAPH BY ESTHER RUTH MBABAZI
| | Dignified models: When Nat Geo Explorer Esther Ruth Mbabazi (above, left) arrived at a Ugandan center for women with special needs, she asked the women a rare question: How would you like to be photographed? They said they wanted to be seen as capable, equal, and intelligent—ways people with disabilities are rarely viewed in Uganda, Nat Geo reports.
