Squished Monkey Balls Win 2021 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards



The natural world and slapstick humor make for a good backdrop for animal comedy. We rely on animals to make us laugh since they can't do stand-up routines. The Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards honor photographers who manage to capture some of the funniest moments on camera. Depending on your workplace, the first photo may be a little risque.

Ken Jensen captured a golden silk monkey in China. Animals are just as weird as humans.

The battle of nerves was captured by Arthur Trevino. The prairie dog jumped towards the Bald Eagle after it missed its attempt to grab the dog. A real David vs Goliath story!

The pigeon was hit in the face by a leaf. We all feel that the long nights and cold weather are on the way.

Is it any more nerve-racking to be woken up by your parent and rushed out the door? The experience was captured by Chee Chee Teo. A mother otter hauls her pup out of the water by the nape of its neck, and on to some important otter business.

It looks like the young elephant took a tumble. The pachyderm was getting lathered in red-orange mud in the park.

I want to fly into a tree. This bald eagle was captured by David Eppley. Eppley said that the Bald Eagle wasn't showing its best form. Sometimes they miss. This photo will live on for a long time, we are all grateful for it.

Mudskippers look gorgeous in a freeze-frame, despite their habitat. Two amphibious fish are watching a third jump. The animals absorb oxygen through their mouth and throat, but we can appreciate that in this photo it looks like everyone is in awe of their friend.

The proboscis monkey is either scratching its nose or really enjoying the tree. A large-nosed proboscis monkey and a tree are the scene of this embrace. "Who are we to judge?" Hodan asked.

It is a little odd to see a Raccoon having a hard time with an ordinary window, since they are skilled at breaking in to bins, attics, and traps. This frustrated fellow stretches spread-eagle across the screen. It will have to wait another day.

The bear that was trying to hide behind a tree was actually climbing down. You can see only one eye of the ursid, as if the animal is trying to hide from the weird human.

The two gophers were caught by Kranitz. The gopher at right is doing a somersault while another looks on.
