The "Blacktip Shark" is the winner of this wildlife award. This image of a blacktip shark swimming among a plethora of fish was captured by photographer Adam Barker off the Bahamas' Abacos Islands. The 120-mile stretch of islands known as the Abacos Islands is home to abundant natural species that appeal to both snorkelers and photographers.

Walker's Cay National Park is where blacktip sharks, turtles, and eagle rays are most frequently spotted. Typically, blacktip sharks are rather shy and observe swimmers and divers from a safe distance. They would only become hostile in the presence of food, as seen in this picture. It's possible that the SwellPro Spry, a popular drone for close-up photography in humid environments, was the one utilized.
