Here are some of the hilarious entries from the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards in the 2022 contest.
Photographers enter their best wildlife photography—with a humorous twist, of course—for the chance to win prizes like a safari in Kenya. All this is also to benefit wildlife, with the contest pairing with a different conservation non-profit each year.
