Desde un simpático mapache saludando, un par de monos que juegan a médicos y enfermeras y hasta un canguro que juega a volar en Australia. Las imágenes presentadas en el Comedy Wildlife Photo siempre dejan momentos hilarantes, porque los animales también pueden protagonizar fotos para el recuerdo. Y para echarse un par de risas.
El certamen acaba de anunciar las cuarenta fotografías finalistas de la edición 2022, después de recibir un buen número de candidatas. El proceso no acaba aquí. Ahora, los usuarios podrán votar por su imagen favorita hasta el 27 de noviembre y los ganadores del Comedy Wildlife Photo de cada una de las categorías se anunciarán el próximo 8 de diciembre.
