Eight Pictures From The 'Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards' Guaranteed To Make You Smile
We’re all used to seeing stunning and inspirational photographs of wild animals in their natural habitat - so it’s refreshing to see some that will simply put a smile on your face.
These hilarious pictures have been entered into the very first Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards - and they show animals have as much comedy timing as any stand-up.
One picture shows a lion with a combover that would rival presidential candidate Donald Trump, while another shows what appears to be the world’s first three-headed giraffe, captured by Tony Murtagh.

A floating squirrel appears to be the David Blaine of the animal kingdom, while a baboon reads an empty packet of crisps with a look of complete amazement.
The contest has been launched by Brit wildlife photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks, who is based in Tanzania
The dad-of-two said: “I am a wildlife photographer myself and am deeply passionate about taking pictures of all sorts of wild creatures.

"I am also hugely passionate about conserving our wild environments, which is why it’s so important to make sure when we are taking pictures we are also taking care of the creatures we are photographing.”
Photographs from both amateur and professional photographers are welcome and the winner will go on a one-week photographic safari in southern Tanzania with a guest with return flights, and a Nikon D750 camera.
Paul said winning entries will combine the best in technical excellence with the most amusing content and caption.

He added: "We are looking for funny, creative, dynamic and interesting wildlife photographs as well as being technically proficient.
"And don’t forget, the caption makes it funnier!”
Will Travers OBE, president of the Born Free Foundation and one of the judges, said: “At Born Free the stories we hear about wildlife are all too often filled with gloom and suffering.
"So it is wonderful – for a change – to consider the naturally humorous side of nature.”
