These stunning images capture the highlights of the year's best wildlife from Cater's News Agency Best Nature photos of 2018.
From the depths of the African savanna to the freezing wastes of the arctic, 2018's photos feature some of the most remote places on earth and some of nature's most fearsome predators.
One set of images show a shark bursting through a sardine bait ball off the coast of South Africa while other dramatic pictures taken from under the water show the battle between sharks and gannets, both picking away at a giant school of sardines desperate to escape.
Another series of images show the strength of the bond with man and animal.
A bald eagle and a red fox tussle in mid-air over a European rabbit in San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state. The fight began when the bald eagle attempted to steal the rabbit away from the young fox, known as a kit. When the bald eagle grabbed the rabbit, it inadvertently also caught the fox, lifting both more than 20 feet into the air. Eventually the fox is forced to let go and the eagle flies off with the rabbit in its clutches

Puffs of feathers fell from the guinea fowl as the tigers caught them with sharp claws in a Siberian Tiger Park in the city of Hanlin, northern China

Pete Walkden, 45, from Birmingham, took a series of photos while visiting the woodland in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness. Each squirrel has its own style for jumping across. Some appear very flat whereas others have their legs and tail going in all directions. The tail is used to help balance the jumps, and is twisted and shaken as the squirrel hurtles through the air

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
