The Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2026 award was won by Italian photographer Federico Veronesi for his image titled 'The Aftermath,' showing a female elephant carrying a dead calf in Namibia's Huab River Valley. The photograph highlights complex animal behavior and emotional depth, with researchers noting the elephant may not be the calf's mother.
