GALLERY: Australian scorpions

Scorpions prey upon anything smaller than themselves: beetles, crickets, spiders and even small frogs and skinks. From rainforests to deserts, the Australian environment is incredibly varied and may be home to more than 100 species of scorpion.

AG Nature Photographer of the Year 2016: Animal habitat shortlist

In this category, we asked for photos showing animals in the environment in which they live – this environment could be natural or built, and the animal, either native or feral. The only rule was that the animal must not be captive and has claimed the habitat independently. This shortlist shows the beautiful variety of landscapes and animals we enjoy in Australia. These photos will be exhibited at the South Australian Museum in Adelaide (18 August to 3 October) and the Australian Museum in Sydney (19 August to 9 October).
