Our absolute favorite photo among the finalists at this year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is this shot of a snake laughing its head off.

The world’s funniest wildlife photos are chosen at the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. From the 42 pictures that made it into the final this year, we will show you our 14 favourites. Bet the photos make you laugh too?

The competition was created six years ago by photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam. Anyone can submit photos, the competition is held online globally. According to the initiators, the aim is to remind people of the importance of species protection in a playful way. On October 22, the jury, consisting of twelve environmental activists and photographers, will choose the winner of this year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

But you too can vote for the winner. The Affinity Photo People’s Choice Award is solely based on which photo gets the most votes here. On the website you can also see the rest of the pictures that are in the final.
