Wildlife photography can be a serious be a serious business as the genre is a great platform to raise awareness about important conservation or environmental issues. However, there’s still some for some lighter moments – especially as photographers often spend hours upon hours out in the field.
This is where the Comedy Wildlife Photography awards come in. The awards, which supports the Born Free Foundation that helps wildlife conservation, invites photographers to submit the humorous moments captured while out on location with prizes to be won.
This year’s awards finalist images feature everything from ninja squirrels to yawning owls, with the winners due to be announced on November 15, followed by the release of a book. So, let's take a look at some of the funner captures. . .
