The 2021 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have just announced their finalists.

Forty-two images make up the final shortlist for the competition, which received more than 7,000 entries from around the world. They include a laughing snake, racoons seemingly sharing their secrets, a gray seal pup that appears to be giggling, a boxfish that looks like it’s pouting at the camera and a grumpy-looking pied starling.

The awards were founded in 2015 by photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, who wanted to promote wildlife conservation through humour.

You can vote for the image that made you laugh the most here until October 10, and the category and overall winners will be announced on October 22nd.
