In the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, a spirited greenfinch receives a telling-off, a batfish seems to swim with human legs, and a kangaroo appears to play an imaginary guitar. Established in 2015, this yearly competition (as noted before) seeks to create a connection with wildlife, highlighting the challenges they encounter. Every year, it attracts thousands of entries globally, offering a plethora of charming photographs. These images remind us of the similarities between animals and humans, whether it’s unique personalities, amusing antics, or our shared planet.

The 2023 finalists’ collection is viewable on the event’s website, where the public can still participate in voting for their favorite image for the People’s Choice Award.
