Winners of the 2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest (20 photos)

National Geographic has announced the winners of its annual photo competition, with the Grand Prize Winner Jayaprakash Joghee Bojan receiving a prize of $7,500 for his image of an orangutan in Borneo. National Geographic was once again kind enough to let us display the winning images and honorable mentions here from the four categories of wildlife, landscapes, aerials, and underwater.
