Gabriella Comi wins Wildlife Photographer of the Year honorable mention
Gabriella Comi, a former lawyer from Italy who now serves as a police officer in southwestern Sardinia, earned an Honorable Mention in the Behavior – Mammals category at the 61st Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. Her photograph, titled "Wake Up Call," depicts a lion facing off against a cobra in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.

Winners will be revealed on October 14, and the exhibition will debut at the Natural History Museum before traveling to Milan's Museo della Permanente from November 15 to January 25, showcasing various wildlife images and the Biodiversity Intactness Index.
