The Funniest Pics From Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards
Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE, Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards Co-Founder, said: “A lot of wildlife shown in these images are facing threats to their populations and habitats that are heart-breaking.
‘With this competition, we wanted to capture people’s attention and energy by giving them a giggle. In order to protect animals, we need people to fall in love with them.
‘We think these wondrous shots show a side of wildlife that we don’t often get to see. They remind us of the beauty, and comedy, in our natural world that needs protecting.’The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2021 is free to enter, with photographers able to enter up to ten photographs across six different categories.

The images shared by the awards organisers are designed to showcase the ‘best so far’, but suggest many more images could still be submitted and the first prize award is ‘wide open’.
One image they shared was taken by Lucy Beveridge from Spain, it shows a young springbok ‘all ears and spindly legs pronking’ at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa.
