An image of a high-fiving gorilla has taken the comedic crown at the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards 2025. The photograph of the great ape, dubbed ‘High Five’, depicts a young male high-kicking his way across the Virunga Mountains landscape (Ministry of Silly Walks, anyone?).
Mark Meth Cohn was on hand to immortalize the moment, which has been picked as the overall winner and landed the UK wildlife photographer a safari experience in Kenya’s Maasai Mara, as well as a handmade trophy made by Tanzania-based Wonder Workshop, and a Think Tank camera bag.
