The funny side of nature: the finalist photos of this peculiar contest are to break out with laughter


What could be the funniest images that nature has given us in the last year? Here are the funniest photos.

Nature is always giving us surprises. The animals are not aware of what their movements can be in front of a camera, so they always appear completely oblivious to the targets. This allows, on occasion, the specialized press in the field to be able to take incredible images. The prizes awarded by National Geographic have had as protagonists, on many occasions, animals due to the spectacular nature of the shots captured in a fraction of a second.

Of course, sometimes we witness images that attract attention, of course, how curious some snapshots can be. Now, did you know that there is a prize that is especially responsible for the analysis of those funny moments or especially interesting? Known as The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, they come to represent the antithesis of the best image of the year, but the truth is that it is another way of seeing what happens daily in nature.

Let’s see, therefore, what are the keys to understand the images shown below, why these are snapshots that attract the attention of the public due to what they represent at any given moment and, of course, to what extent they show a faithful representation of what happens in nature in critical time periods, such as hunting or fishing. Here are the finalist photos from the 2022 edition, some of which include endangered species. Which would be your favourite?

Finalists for the funniest natural photography award you will find

It is true that some of the images they do not include the playful component that might be expected, but they do have something that makes them able to be in this particular quota. It is a representation that aims to raise awareness about what happens in nature every day. Here is the gallery where you can enjoy each of the images. At Urban Tecno we have our favourites.

As you have seen, the assortment of images is very varied. All kinds of representations can be seen, among which the presence of a bear failing at the time of fishing and another specimen that appears ‘waving’ to the camera is particularly striking. As can be seen, we find animals that live on the ground and others that, on the other hand, are found in the depths of the oceans. In any case, the participating photographs have that humorous touch that allows them to be on this list.

And you, which one do you like the most? According to the official website of the award, we are facing a contest that has been repeated over the last few years. In fact, on the website itself you can access and view what were the images that were taken from the award to the funniest photograph in the year 2016 onwards.
