The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards has announced their 2023 finalists, giving us our feel-good fix for the day. This year's shortlist includes 41 standalone photos, three portfolios, and three videos that show off the silly side of wildlife. In addition, the People's Choice Award is now open for voting, which allows the public to have their say in who has the funniest animal photo this year.

喜剧野生动物摄影奖已经宣布了2023年入围者，让我们又过了愉快的一天。今年短名单包括41幅独立照片，3组照片集，还有显示野生动物愚蠢的三条视频。另外，人民选择奖现在开放投票，这让公众对谁拥有今年最有趣的动物照片有发言权。

From an overly expressive lemur to a kangaroo playing air guitar, this year's finalists have captured animals in all types of funny situations. Some of the photos, like a dragonfly perched on a happy turtle's nose, are simply adorable. Others, like a gray fox lounging with a piece of wood in its mouth, pose in ways that make their actions seem almost human. And some, like a batfish swimming in front of a diver, rely on the quick timing of the photographer to create a funny scene.

从表情过份的狐猴到演奏空气吉他的袋鼠，今年入围者抓拍的动物有各种有趣情况。一些照片，像一只蜻蜓落在一只高兴的乌龟的鼻子上，简单可爱。其他的，像一只灰狐嘴里叼着一截木头，懒羊羊地躺着，摆出的姿势和人像极了。还有一些，例如一条蝙蝠鱼游在潜水员前面，被摄影师快速抓拍下的瞬间创造了一个有趣的景象。

But no matter how the images were captured, they all share a common denominator—they make us laugh. And the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been using laughter to shine a light on wildlife conservation for the past eight years. In fact, each year the organizers sext a sustainable conservation organization to support. This year, they're working with Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN), a UK charity that supports conservation leaders working in their home countries across the Global South.

但是不管照片怎样抓拍的，它们都有一个共同点——让我们大笑。喜剧野生动物摄影奖已经用笑声照亮野生动物保护八年了。实际上，每年组织者都选择支持一个可持续保护组织。今年，他们与惠特尼自然基金（WFN）合作，此基金是英国的慈善组织，支持工作在自己祖国的全球南方国家保护组织领导人。

Check out some of our favorite finalists from the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

“What nice teeth you have” by Henry Keepin. Animal: African Wild Dog. Location of shot: Lion Sands Game Reserve, Kruger National Park, SA. “I photographed this Painted Wolf at Lion Sands Game Reserve, a protected reserve with open borders next to the Kruger National Park in South Africa. It is wearing a tracker because, sadly, this species is endangered and is therefore being closely monitored by scientists. There may only be 1400 left in the wild, and 300 left in this part of Africa with one of the main reasons for this being persecution from humans. We need to learn to love our beaming neighbors!”

“你的牙真好” 作者：Henry Keepin 动物：非洲野狗 拍摄地点：克鲁格国家公园狮沙禁猎区，在南非克鲁格国家公园一个边界开放的保护保留地。它带着追踪器，因为，不幸的是这个物种濒临灭绝，因此被科学家紧密监视着。野外仅有1400头，有300头在非洲这一区域，造成这种状况的一个主要原因是来自人类的迫害。我们那需要学会爱我们笑容满面的邻居。“

One day while practicing their hunting skills on bits of moss and branches, one of the kits lunged at a small chunk of wood and started rolling around with his prize. Tired after his hunt, the kit lounged on his belly, still holding the wood in his mouth, which gave the strong resemblance of a cigar. I was very envious of the kit at this moment cause who wouldn't want to just lay around all day relaxing.”

“当我在佛吉尼亚森林深处工作的时候，一个灰狐家族居住在我隔壁被抛弃的村舍平台下面。某一天，当它们咬苔藓和树枝练习狩猎技巧时，一个小家伙冲向一小块木头，然后开始围绕它的奖品打滚。打猎累了，它懒洋洋地肚皮朝上躺下了，嘴里仍然叼着木头，跟雪茄非常相似。我当时非常羡慕这个小家伙，因为谁不想整天只是躺着放松呢。”
