A collection of 40 standalone images, three portfolio entries and 10 funny video entries made it to the finals of the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Award.
The competition highlights exceptional wildlife photography and the positive power of humour.
The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Award was started by Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam in 2015 in a bid to help promote the conservation of wildlife and habitats, with jaw-dropping and laugh-out-loud photos.
This year saw a record record number of entries, with just under 10,000 in total from 108 countries, all competing to win the top prize of a one-week safari in the Masai Mara.
A collection of 40 standalone images, three portfolio entries and 10 funny video entries, have made it to this year’s finals.
Among the contenders for the funniest wildlife image of 2025 is a dancing gorilla, a choir of lions, a smoking duck and some frog teamwork.
