Wolverine snapped as photographers capture some of the rarest mammals and birds in the world

Incredibly rare shots of a wolverine were taken by photographer Sam Hobson on the Sony RX10 III, which features an extended 600mm super-telephoto zoom lens and silent shutter capability, to ensure the endangered animal was not disturbed. Sony has worked with a number of award winning nature photographers to capture some of the mammals and birds on the IUCN’s (International Union for Conservation of Nature) ‘Red List’ - which highlights species across the globe at risk of extinction. This spring across Europe UK photographer and finalist in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014 and 2016 Sam Hobson, award-winning Finnish wildlife photographer Lassi Rautiainen, Spanish nature photographer Javier Alonso Huerta, Swiss wildlife photographer Markus P. Stähli and nature photographer Gustav Kiburg captured stunning imagery of these animals in their natural environment. The ‘rare’ collection of photographs captures some of the rarest mammals and birds in the world; as part of Sony’s ongoing commitment to support the protection of wildlife.
