The annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards highlight hilarious photos of animals striking comical poses and pulling funny facial expressions in the wild. The competition does more than just provide laughs — it also raises money for wildlife-conservation organizations.
A panel of judges will select the winning images, and members of the public can also vote for their favorite to win the Affinity Photo People's Choice Award on the contest's official website. All of the winners will be announced on November 23.
Take a look at the 41 finalists in this year's competition. Photographers' captions have been condensed and edited for clarity.
