Believe it or not, there is a thing called The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.
The competition was created for two reasons: a need for a light-hearted photography competition about wildlife doing funny things, and conservation. The competition has now reached its 4th year and the submissions keep getting better.
For this year’s competition, there were 40 finalists with the Overall Winner and Category Winners were announced on November 13th.
Categories included: The Alex Walker’s Serian Creatures of the Land Category, The Spectrum Creatures in the Air Category, The ThinkTank Photo Junior Category, The Amazing Internet Portfolio Category, The Olympus Underwater Category, and The Video Clip Category.
Check out some of the best finalists for this year, and previous finalists, below!
