The 2025 Comedy Wildlife Photography Competition Announces its Finalists (24 photos)

If you're lacking warmth and a reason to smile this fall, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2025 is here to help. Organizers have announced the finalists, and as always, it's a festival of animal charisma.





Photographers from all over the world submitted hilarious shots featuring animals: silly, mischievous, cheeky, falling, dancing, talking to each other, and simply making you smile. Choosing the finalists wasn't easy: almost every entry was hilarious from the very first second. And we won't even imagine how we'll choose the winner. The winners will be announced in December, but for now we can just enjoy the contenders.
