It's that time of the year again! Now in its 5th year, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards continue to delight everyone with the stellar quality of their entrants, in both a technical and comedic sense.

Behind the laughter is a serious message from founders of the photography awards, Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam. “Remember, we are all about conservation,” they write on their website. “We want you to take up our banner of wildlife conservation, bang the drum, beat the cymbal and make some noise, we need to spread the word – wildlife, as we know it, is in danger, all over the world and we need to do something to help save it. You can start by going and having a look at what the Born Free Foundation are doing at www.bornfree.org.uk”

With the level of competition at an all-time high this year, the judges faced a nigh-impossible task of narrowing them down to just 40 best photos. However, they got there in the end and the results are here! Which are your favorites from this photo contest? Who do you think will win? Scroll down below to check out the final 40 for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!
