If you’re feeling a bit down about the state of the world right now and need a pick me up, have a look at the winners of 2019’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. They’ll make you smile, they’ll make you chuckle, they’ll make you say, out loud in the middle of your place of work, “Animals really do do the funniest things” (and then you’ll laugh about “do do” because you’re just a big kid really; a big kid with a full-time job, and a mortgage to pay for).

We’ve pulled out some of our favourites from this year’s gallery of champions, and stuck them up for your viewing pleasure below. If you want to see the entire collection of winning shots, picked out of 4,000 entries by the judges, then follow the link at the bottom of this article.
