New images from July 2025: closer to the wild.

En ce mois de juillet, Biosphoto met en ligne une série de nouvelles images consacrées à la faune sauvage dans son environnement naturel. Ces photographies récentes documentent des comportements animaux observés dans des écosystèmes variés : milieux alpins, savanes africaines et forêts tropicales d’Amérique du Sud.

La photographe Monique Morin livre un travail axé sur les bouquetins des Alpes, observés dans le massif du Creux du Van, en Suisse. Ses images capturent avec précision des interactions sociales telles que les luttes hiérarchiques entre jeunes mâles, ainsi que des comportements maternels. La présence d’éléments météorologiques (pluie, brume) contextualise chaque scène au plus près des conditions de terrain.

Clément Fontaine, de son côté, présente une série issue de ses récentes missions en Afrique et en Amazonie. À travers des espèces comme le jaguar, l’éléphant, le lion, la hyène ou le léopard, ses images illustrent divers aspects de l’éthologie animale : stratégies de chasse, relations intra- et interspécifiques, territorialité, ou repos. Chaque photographie met en valeur la relation entre l’animal et son habitat, dans une approche naturaliste et rigoureuse.
