The Top 10 Photos Of The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2017

The finalists of the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2017 have been revealed, and they're as hilarious as you would expect.


In total, forty finalists have been announced, varying from a shocked elephant seal to a giraffe that's seemingly eating a plane.


There were more than 3,500 entries for the awards from 86 countries. The winners will be announced on December 14.


The awards were founded by Tanzania-based photographers Tom Sullam and Paul Joynson-Hicks. They hope that the awards will put a spotlight on wildlife conservation efforts as well as bring some playfulness to wildlife photography.


As Sullam said in a statement:


“Conservation was always at the heart of the competition, along with the fact that people seemed to enjoy images of animals doing entertaining things! But essentially living in a country that has some of the best wildlife in the world – Tanzania – and seeing how destructive human actions can be to this wildlife, made us want to do our little bit to help.”

Here are ten of the funniest finalists featured.

  1. After being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster Dr Oriafo that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Dr Oriafo and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days my ex will come back begging. I thanked him in earnest hoping he will come back to me because I miss him so much.To my very surprise on the 3rd day he came back begging and asking me to accept him back and he will never leave me again. All this would never had been possible but for Dr Oriafo I will always and forever recommend you to the world Dr Oriafo This is his contact below: herbalsolutionhome@gmail.com or call +13103599685

  2. Penguins used to be my favourite animal before I discovered sloths and now they come a close second. My first out-of-zoo encounter was at Phillip Island near Melbourne in Australia. https://GameCameraWorld.com
