Wildlife Photographer Of The Year Exhibit Is Coming To The Detroit Zoo

ROYAL OAK, MI — The phenomenal Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit is kicking off its U.S. debut at the Detroit Zoo on Nov. 18. The world class exhibit features photographs capturing some of the most magnificent moments of animals in the wild in places ranging from India to Norway to the Swiss Alps. The pictures featured in this year's show were selected from the 2016 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, which yielded nearly 50,000 entries by photographers hailing from 95 countries.

“Year after year, this awe-inspiring exhibition showcases the most incredible images of wildlife from around the globe as well as the skill and perfect timing of the photographers,” said Ron Kagan, executive director and CEO of the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS), in a statement.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum in London. The show runs through April 2, 2017. Entry to the exhibit is free with zoo admission.
