Jennifer Hadley, the American photographer whose photo (above) of a lion cub falling out of a tree took top honors in this year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, hit twice; she also won an award for this one, titled “Talk to the fin!”
The awards were founded in 2015 by two photographers and conservationists Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, who wanted to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation by capturing some of the more fun and quirky moments in the wild. This year, there were over 5,000 entries from 85 countries.
Other winning pictures include a pair of grinning triggerfish, a hidden owl and a heron who appears in danger of being swallowed whole by a yawning hippo. You can see all the winners and finalists HERE
The winner will have a good chance at prize entries for next year: The main prize Hadley won is a week-long safari trip to Masai Mara.
