Photos : The Funniest Wild Animals Photos Of 2017

This year’s Wildlife Photography Awards features 40 finalists with hilarious images of animals in playful poses. The competition generated 3,500 entries from 86 countries around the world. 

Tanzanian photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam founded these awards to emphasise the conservation of wildlife. “Conservation was always at the heart of the competition, along with the fact that people seemed to enjoy images of animals doing entertaining things!” said Sullam in a statement.
