The world-famous Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards competition is now open to entries.
There's just over a month to go before the 2024 competition closes, meaning you still have time to submit your funniest wildlife images.
Looking for a bit of inspiration? Here are a few of the funniest photo entries so far, from joke-telling polar bears to (slightly) awkward penguins.
