Life in the wild is no joke for most in the animal kingdom.
If the winners of the annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are anything to go by however, there are a few of our furrier friends out there who can still see the lighter side of life.
Fans of the images are urged to take the time to learn about ‘Born Free’ and its endeavours to promote animal welfare and compassionate conservation.
