Week in wildlife: a slow loris, a tiny deer and a glamorous dumpling squid | Environment

This photo of a southern dumpling squid, nicknamed Priscilla, was a winner in the Australian geographic nature photographer of the year awards. The photographer, Peter McGee, took the photo in Sydney, Australia. He said: “About the size of a dumpling, the southern dumpling or bobtail squid are treasured photography subjects. These nocturnal creatures emerge cloaked in vivid colours as if wearing shimmering eye makeup. Usually timid, they tend to hide when seen. This one, however, affectionately named Priscilla, happily lingered, posing for a photoshoot”
