En pruttande zebra och en tjur med vingar – här är årets roligaste djurbilder
Djurliv
En zebra som råkar släppa sig under en springtur, en tjur som fått vingar och en räv som flirtar. Ibland uppstår det dråpliga situationer i naturen, och med lite tur fångas det på bild. Nu har 40 finalister nominerats till Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards 2022.

40 finalister är nominerade till Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2022.
Sedan 2015 har Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards utsett årets roligaste djurbild. Syftet med fototävlingen är, förutom att sprida glädje, även att uppmärksamma planetens djurliv och bevarandet av detta.
Juryn har fått in hundratals bilder, och valt ut 40 av dem som finalister i 2022 års tävling. Bilderna visar allt från en galopperande, pruttande zebra, en charmig tvättbjörn som vinkar mot kameran, en anka som tar sig en promenad över några sköldpaddsryggar och en uggla som passar på att flirta lite.
En fotograf som spenderade hela sin morgon med en lejonhona, fångade henne när hon precis gäspat och titta kaxigt rakt in i kameran. En annan fotograf lyckades fånga en björn som jagade efter lax, men i stället ser ut att själv bli nedtacklad av laxen.
I bildspelet nedan finns ett urval av bilderna:

Description: I was told that I can find a lot of little owls in the Judean Lowlands in Israel. So, I went on a journey early in the morning and really, I found a lot of little owls standing on the ground, on stones, near the nest and on tree branches. Suddenly, my eyes were caught by two fledgelings that were playing with each other on the ground. One of them crossed my field of vision. I started taking pictures in sequence and this is what came out…

Description: After hearing Borneo’s borders would reopen again in April 2022 I couldn’t wait to visit and photograph some of the weird and wonderful wildlife on the island. After 2 years with no tourists it seemed like the wildlife was just as shocked to see me as I was to see them. This young proboscis monkey watched in amazement as I cruised by on the kinabatangan river.

IndiaTitle: I CU boy !
Description: Few hundred miles away we went to explore wildlife of a small town named ‘Bikaner’. It was after almost a year I travelled because of covid. We hired a guide to explore places around. During last day of our trip we came across a pipe in a city where we spotted an owlet. I have earlier clicked owls in a pipe before so I was sure that I wasn’t mistake. We waited for a short while and it didn’t take a long time and one of the spotted owlet came out of the pipe. It was really funny when he came out and looked at me straight, before going inside he closed one of his eyes and felt like he wanted to say I CU boy ! and I immediately snapped a picture when he gave this pose.

Description: We encountered this little squirrel when climbed mountain in June. When noticed our approaching, instead of escaping right away, he just kept standing on the edge of cliff and overlooked into the distance, then turned around to staring at us as if we had interrupted his meditation. We left him with some biscuits for inconvenience and I took a photo of him telling thanks, just found that he was a lisper.

United StatesTitle: Not so cat-like reflexes
Description: This 3 month old cub and his sibling were in a tree. The other lionesses were in other trees and on the ground. He wanted to get down and walked all over the branches looking for the right spot and finally just went for it. It was probably his first time in a tree and his descent didn’t go so well. He was just fine though after landing on the ground. He got up and ran off with some other cubs.
