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

Award-winning photographers have captured some of the rarest mammals and birds on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s ‘Red List’ – which highlights species across the globe at risk of extinction.

Incredible shots of an Atlantic puffin, a wolverine and a common pochard were sent in by snappers as part of Sony’s ongoing commitment to support the protection of wildlife.

The puffin was captured in Skomer Island, Wales, 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.

These are the incredibly rare shots of a wolverine:
