The animal kingdom is a dynamic place, filled with plenty of action and drama.
Freeze and capture any moment in time and an animal's behaviour can become hilarious.
A dancing gorilla, a smoking duck and frog teamwork 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.
And this year's selection does not disappoint.
The overall winner, category and highly commended winners will be announced on December 9.
Last year's winner was a photo of a red squirrel seemingly stuck in a tree.
Here is a selection of some of the finalists in the running for 2025.
