The 2025 Comedy Wildlife finalists are officially here, and honestly, these shots might be the funniest thing you’ll see all week. This year’s collection is packed with hilarious wildlife photos—the kind that make you laugh first and then wonder how on earth a photographer captured such funny animal moments at the perfect second.

From birds dramatically mid-squabble to lemurs looking like they’re leading a yoga class, to frogs caught in chaotic action scenes, every image has its own accidental comedy. These hilarious wildlife photos prove once again that animals are natural entertainers, and the 2025 Comedy Wildlife finalists lineup is basically a wild blooper reel.

Here’s a look at some of my favorite finalists—every photo straight from the batch you see above. Get ready for dramatic birds, sassy lemurs, airborne frogs, and enough slapstick nature comedy to make you rethink who the true comedians on this planet really are.

Warren Price, “Headlock!”
Mark Meth-Cohn, “High Five”
Grayson Bell, “Baptism Of The Unwilling Convert”
John Speirs, “It is tough being a duck”

Every year, the Comedy Wildlife Awards remind me that nature isn’t just beautiful—it’s hilarious. Whether it’s a bird having an existential crisis or a lemur finding inner peace, these moments feel unexpectedly… human.
