The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards has released some of the best images of animals in funny poses submitted for this year’s competition.
The annual contest highlighting hilarious photos of animals in the wild, now in its sixth year, is free to enter and aims to raise awareness about wildlife conservation.
For amateur and professional photographers, the contest — open for entries until June 30 — selects an overall winner and finalists for different categories from thousands of candid photos of animals in the wild.
They appear to be caught in comic, compromising situations, or making dramatic or silly faces when a photographer, at the right place, at the right time, was able to capture the humorous moment.
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.

I shut my TV off 13 yrs. ago and don't miss it. I'd rather watch videos and look at pictures of animals & birds. What you see is what you get and they are just adorable.
