Each year the 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards competition supports a conservation organization -- and this year it is working with the Whitley Fund for Nature, a UK charity supporting conservation in the global south.
A standoffish penguin, a horrified monkey and a farting zebra are among the images shortlisted for the 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.
Also among the 40 photos shortlisted from across the globe are a superhero squirrel, a lion cub face-planting into a tree, and a monkey who just can't even...
The awards were co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam.
In a press statement, the pair said their aim was "to create a competition that focused on the lighter, humorous side of wildlife photography but also had an important role in promoting wildlife conservation at its heart."
