‘Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards’ -- So Much Better Than Your Usual Cat Pics

These aren’t your average funny cat pictures.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards showcases the lighter side of photography. Most photography competitions, especially for wildlife, focus on the composition and technique. However, there is an art and skill to witnessing the perfect moment and being able to capture it in an image. These photos do just that, in the funniest way possible.

The contest is open for submissions until October 1, then seven judges in the photography and comedy industries will select the winners. One lucky photographer will win the top prize: a week-long photography safari with a renowned wildlife photographer.

Here are a few of our favorites from this year’s entries.
