The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are back! From a seal covering its mouth in a laugh to a real-life Angry Bird and a bear striking a charming pose, each of the shortlisted photos captures a wonderfully funny moment from the wildlife kingdom.

The Funny Wildlife Photography Awards collect photos from photographers around the world that capture hilarious moments of wildlife. In 2021, the finalists included a chuckled seal and an angry bird, as well as a baboon that looked like it was singing loudly.
The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards were founded by Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, both professional photographers and passionate animal conservation activists.
The 2021 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards partnered with "Save Wild Orangutans," aiming not only to bring laughter but also to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation and encourage greater public participation.
The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards will hold an awards ceremony on October 22 to announce the winning entries.
