To celebrate the 2024 contest opening for submissions, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards shared previously unseen images from past years of the competition.
Beyond making people laugh with amusing photos of animals, the contest also supports the Whitley Fund for Nature, a UK charity that has distributed over £20 million, or $25.3 million, to 200 conservationists in 90 countries.
The contest is open for entries through its official website until July 31, and the winners will be announced in November.
Here are 10 hilarious wildlife photos that are finally getting their moment to shine.
