Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

It’s the first annual ‘Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards’ founded by wildlife photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks. The competition was open to anyone with outrageous and weird photos of animals doing funny stuff.

Austrian photographer Julian Rad was selected as this year’s winner with a photo of a cute hamster. Rad was awarded a trophy, a 7-day safari through southern Tanzania in East Africa, and a Nikon D750 DSLR with a 24-85mm lens.

The silver prize runner up this year was photographer William Richardson of the UK, who captured a photo of a deer wearing what looks like camouflage over its face.

Third place went to Oliver Dreike of Tanzania with a photo of a gorilla picking its nose.
