2.9Mviews
We've already presented you with the nominees for the funniest wildlife photography shot of the year, and now the time has come to find out who the winner is.
The photography awards are held in order to spread awareness about wildlife conservation since 2015 and with each year it's growing more and more popular. "It’s been a real success this year, the quality of images has improved substantially and we have had more entries and from more countries," said one of the founders of the photo contest, photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks.
And while funny photos of clumsy eagles and laughing hamsters are sure to make you giggle, we shouldn't forget about the cause. The photography contest organizers invite everyone to check out the born free website and spread the word about wildlife conservation together with the amusing bunch of beautiful photos.

Animals can give us such enjoyment & can be a touchstone to the earth.
And many of them are good to eat!

ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS by Jean Jacque - should have got in the top 3 I feel. The Composition of the Group is Great and the Subject Matter are a good looking bunch just going about their business and therefore look natural and not staged; the fact that one or two of them have been caught in the act of doing something Different, Astounding, Interesting, and Funny amidst the banality of daily life is definitely proof of Right place right time for the photographer and great entertainment for the World to see.
Yeah! Nice! More of it, please!
I tell you, I couldn't even leave a comment under the photos because the ones there already said it all! Way to go everyone! Love the photos, love the comments! More photos! More photos!
too funny
The dormouse photo has been around for years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2309375/Having-squeal-time-The-tiny-laughing-dormouse-hide-delight-spring-finally-here.html
Love love love these!!
I love these ❤️
Number 2 has been around the internet for at LEAST 7 years and should not even be in the running. The last one, the mud skippers, should be one of the first.
It is so entertaining and fun to watch these funny pictures of the animals. We laugh because at one hand we feel superior to the other species, but at the other hand we recognize similar (or at least seemingly similar) behavioral patterns in human and animals. But what (we think) make us superior is ability to be self-conscious and introspective. Well, guess what, as it turns out, some people have developed their ability for self-consciousness and introspection to such a degree that sets them as far apart from other fellow humans as human in general apart from animals. I do not know if anyone put it better than Carlin! https://youtu.be/-ERFBg2Uh1c (if link doesnt work search youtube for "George Carlin's Greatest Speech"). :-)
The very merry photo is #7 “Cheering-Sea-Otter” made By Penny Palmer
