Terrestrial Life Winner: Spider Web
Spider Web by Bence Máté
In Hungary, where Bence Máté captured this photograph, Eurasian beavers were extirpated (or made locally extinct) by hunters in 1865. However, the large rodent returned to Hungary in 1985 via natural dispersion. Their populations have been growing since.
Beavers are a keystone species that help shape the ecosystems they live in, making habitat for other animals to thrive.
