Comedy Wildlife Awards 2025Nature, you're hilarious!
Julia Butterflies will often land on a caiman’s eyes to lap up the minerals found in their salty crocodile tears. This particular Spectacled Caiman in Brazil’s Pantanal looked especially pleased with its new fashion accessories, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo of that self-satisfied look.

The Comedy Wildlife Awards opened for entries this week and to hype up the 2026 competition.
The top wildlife photography competition for not-so-serious animals has released outtakes from last year’s contest. And they don’t disappoint. We get a caiman with butterfly accessories, a cub running face-first into mom's butt , and the world's longest parrot. More than 10,000 entries competed in 2025 with top honors bestowed on UK-based photographer Mark Meth-Cohn. And the competition isn’t just about laughs—it also works to boost conservation issues. “The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards is proud to support Born Free Foundation, an international wildlife charity that has been championing compassionate conservation and campaigning to protect wild animals for over 40 years,” a statement reads. The contest is free to enter, and photographers can use any type of camera brand. Entries must be submitted until June 30, 2026, with a shortlist revealed in October and the winners announced in December. Content from Popular Science
