These contest-winning images of funny animals will make your day better
Any wildlife photography competition whose terms and conditions say "you must have taken the picture yourself within the last 99 years" and "you must think Bohemian Rhapsody one of the greatest pieces of popular music ever written," will turn some heads.

These requirements are quips, of course, but that's the point. The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are all about honoring exceptional field photography that also happens to be hilarious — planned or not.
The final images from the contest do not disappoint. Don't believe me? Take a look at this baby hippo having a conniption fit over being besieged by these birds.
The contest was founded by photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks. He is passionate about conservation and, therefore, is adamant that no animals are harmed during the photo shoot. Entrants also must not submit photographs of their pets, farm animals, or captive animals.
Here are some of the most hilarious photos from this competition we've seen.
