A kangaroo flexing its musical muscles in its best rock star pose has taken the crown as the funniest animal picture of 2023.
There were 5,300 entries submitted to the Comedy Wildlife Photographers Awards this year, from 1,842 hopefuls across 85 countries.
And while there was no shortage of animals that brought a smile to the judges’ faces, it was Jason Moore’s shot that bagged the overall winner prize.
His Air Guitar Roo photo shows the female western grey kangaroo appearing to play air guitar while Moore visited a fields in Perth, Australia.
And Moore only captured the picture of a disappointing morning in August 2021 taking snaps of waterfowl at a nearby lake.
He revealed: “I ended up shooting about 40 or 50 frames of the kangaroos with various content including mums, joeys and also some action shots of them bouncing along through the yellow field…
“When I saw this roo striking the air guitar pose, it immediately brought a smile to my face, and I knew that I had captured something really special.”
Clearly the judges agreed and the photo not only won the overall winner prize, but also topped the ‘creatures of the land’ category.
Other pictures that brought a laugh to the judges include a heron falling out of the sky into the water, a squirrel looking like it is trying to fly and an otter appearing to strike a perfect ballerina pose.
