    ‘Coexistence’ by Pallavi Prasad Laveti (above) shows an Asian palm civet kitten peeking out of a bag in a small remote village in India.

    The image shows how comfortable the creatures are in the company of the humans who live there. This, says the photographer, is an “image of hope”, because in other parts of the world, “animals are not so free”.

    Laveti is in the running for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award.

    The winner of the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer Of The Year was announced in October, with Sergey Gorshkov claiming the top prize for his picture of a Siberian tigress hugging an ancient Manchurian fir tree in the Russian Far East.

    Via Sky News, the judges have stepped aside, and voting is now open to the general public to choose the image that they love the most.

    Here are some of our favourite photos on the shortlist:

    Image: ‘Family Portrait’ by Andrew Lee – a family of 10 burrowing owls of Ontario.

    Image: ‘Eye To Eye’ by Andrey Shpatak – a Japanese warbonnet fish, snapped in the Sea of Japan

    Image: ‘Drawn And Quartered’ by Laurent – the sharks of Fakarava Atoll, French Polynesia, hunt in packs but tend to be selfish and do not share their prey.

    Image: ‘Hare Ball’ by Andy Parkinson – a little female hare covered in a dusting of snow, curling her body into a perfect spherical shape.

    Image: ‘Baby On The Rocks’ by Frederic Larrey – a six-month-old snow leopard cub seeking safety among the rocks on the Tibetan Plateau.

    Image: ‘Close Encounter’ by Guillermo Esteves – this image shows the large bull taking an interest in the canine visitor.

    Image: ‘Drey Dreaming’ by Neil Anderson – two Eurasian red squirrels finding shelter in a box.

    Image: ‘Border Refuge’ by Joseph Dominic Anthony – taken at the Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong within the Frontier Closed Area on the Chinese border.

    Image: ‘Turtle Time Machine’ by Thomas Peschak – green sea turtles are classified as endangered, but at locations such as Little Farmer’s Cay in the Bahamas they are thriving.

    You can check out the rest of the shortlist, and cast your vote, here.

    It’s going to be tough to choose.
