A fake smile from a lioness, a raccoon waving to the camera and a galloping farting zebra are among the 40 images shortlisted for this year's Comedy Wildlife Photo awards.
Narrowed down from thousands of entries submitted by professional and amateur photographers from around the world, the competition aims to celebrate the hilarity of our natural wildlife.
Co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, the competition aims to focus "on the lighter, humorous side of wildlife photography but also [with] an important role in promoting wildlife conservation at its heart".
