Hang around wildlife long enough, and you’re sure to come across a moment of hilarity now and again. These photographers were lucky enough to snap a photo at those precise moments.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards highlight the humor in nature, and this year’s finalists are guaranteed to make you laugh.

A panel of judges will announce the winner on Nov. 15, but this year the Affinity People’s Choice Award allows you to vote here for your favorite (the winning photographer will receive an iPad).

The overall winner earns a week-long safari with Alex Walker’s Serian — and hopefully the chance to snap some more hilarious photos.

Check out some of our favorites below, and all of the finalists here.

And if you can’t get enough of this photography, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards Vol. 2 will be available in hardcover Oct. 4. Pre-order the book here.
