Week in wildlife: a peek-a-boo fish, dunkin’ frogs and a white crow

On February 20, 2026, wildlife photographer and columnist Elena Goodinson showcased the best wildlife photographs of the week, gathered from around the world. The collection highlights a bluestriped fangblenny photographed by Jenny Stock, a group of frogs engaging in what the commentator dubbed "dunking" behavior, and a rare white crow, all chosen to celebrate the diversity of nature and to inspire a broader appreciation for wildlife conservation. The fangblenny, a small, brightly striped species found in coastal waters, was captured in striking detail by Stock, illustrating the delicate beauty of reef ecosystems. The frog photographs, taken during their day‑time activities, lend a playful tone to the series, while the white crow—an uncommon, pale-colored variant—serves as a symbol of nature’s unexpected variations. These images were highlighted by the Comedy Wildlife Awards, which recognize excellence in wildlife photography and storytelling. Goodinson’s article intends to bring attention to the importance of protecting varied habitats and showcases how artistic representations can foster public interest in conservation efforts.
