Is there a more efficient way to inject a bit of joy into your day than by ogling amazing photos of our planet’s wonderful animals? We’d argue not, especially when photographers have managed to capture creatures who are getting up to some mischief.
The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards are here to do just that, as the finalists for 2024’s competition have just been announced. The overall winner will be announced on December 10, but until then, there are some truly hilarious and adorable snaps for us to admire.
Think gossiping raccoons, giggling seals, grinning toads and sneaky puffins – here’s a selection of some of this year’s 40 finalists.
Cute, right? Keep an eye on the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards website for news of the winning shot at the end of the year.
