Every year, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards highlight the funniest photos of animals taken in the wild. Talented photographers from around the world manage to capture moments where animals seem to be experiencing very human emotions or dilemmas.
Founders Tom Sullam and Paul Joynson-Hicks started the contest to raise awareness about wildlife conservation. They hope the pictures encourage people to shop responsibly, be mindful of their water use, and speak out about environmental issues — in addition to making people laugh.
The 2020 contest is now open for submissions, and people have already started sending in photos of lions, owls, hippos, and other species striking hilarious poses or pulling amusing facial expressions.
Here are 12 of the best submissions to the 2020 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards so far.
