Wild and Crazy Photos from the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

The funniest photographs of wildlife from around the world collected here in one must-have book that is perfect for animal lovers of all stripes.

When the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards announced a contest for the funniest animal photo, they received entries from all over the world. Now authors and original award founders Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam showcase the best of the best—as well as some never before seen—to present the most joyful photographs of wildlife ever printed.

A pelican losing its lunch; an elephant falling on its face; a meerkat having a rough day… You’ll love this light-hearted, upbeat book: The images will make you smile, but there’s a serious side to this endeavor: the authors hope to raise awareness for the need to protect wildlife, and the habitats they call home.

Paul Joynson-Hicks is a wildlife photographer. He lives in Arusha, Tanzania, with his wife, their two small boys, and his Springers. He loves being in the bush and taking pictures. He was awarded an MBE for charitable work in Tanzania over the years.

Having spent the first part of his professional life working in financial services in London, Tom Sullam realized the error of his ways to quit everything in order to pursue a career in photography. He won the prestigious Fuji Photographer of the Year award, along with the One Vision prize. He recently moved with his family to Tanzania where the wilds of African landscapes have provided yet another challenge.
