Clingy bear cubs, a lion-hearted discussion, and a gecko grin are just a few of the giggle-worthy finalists in this year’s Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. From nearly 9,000 submissions from photographers in 98 countries, jurors selected 40 entries for the final round, illuminating a wide range of mammals, amphibians, fish, and fowl around the world.

Co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullamto, the competition fuses wildlife photography with the powerful positivity of humor to help promote conservation around the planet.
