Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2019: The winning image
- Published
"Grab life by the..." We imagine there was nothing funny about the aftermath of this photo
Frightened fish, shy bears, sarcastic owls and birds that were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
These are the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards finalists - but we imagine there wasn't much to laugh about for the subject of the winning image, above.
It was taken by Sarah Skinner in Botswana, and shows a lion club "playing"...
The young lioness "continues to thrive in the pride", according to Sarah, who also wanted to "encourage everyone, as a collective" to do their best to help conserve wildlife "so that future generations can enjoy them in the same way I have during my career".
Have a look below at some of the finalists.
'He's... behind me, isn't he?' Where's Finding Nemo's Bruce when you need him?
"Waltz Gone Wrong?" These foxes wouldn't win any awards for their dancing
"Hello, and good day to you"
"Oh My." Ever seen an otter do 'the scream'?
"Follow at your own risk." Finally, justice for anyone who's ever fallen victim to bird droppings
"Holly jolly snowy" - why is this owl mocking us?
"Laid back" - this chimp knows how to relax
"One, two, three - I'm going to find you." Not when your opponent is hidden THAT well
"Hi!" Bye
