Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

These perfectly-timed pictures capture the funniest animals on the planet – from a buffalo covered in bird poo to a tortoise having the time of his life.

The shortlisted final 40 entries of the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been revealed.

This year’s competition has featured more than 2,200 hilarious entries from around the world with photos including a fox face planting in the snow, a dancing brown bear and a pair of seemingly headless penguins – all beautifully photographed with perfect comedy timing and a strong conservation message.

Here are some of my favorites:
