Natural World Photography - Exhibition - California Academy of Science

A black bear emerges from the inky North Carolina night to investigate a well-lit back porch. A kelp plant succumbs to an urchin invasion. An orphaned baby wombat and a veterinary student relish a nose-to-nose nuzzle at a sanctuary outside Melbourne. Each of the winning images in the *BigPicture: Natural World Photography* exhibition enshrines a fleeting moment that might otherwise escape our attention. Visit the exhibition at the Academy to embark on a visual odyssey around the world, where the triumphs, tragedies, and textures of our planet are on dazzling display.
