These photographers have submitted their most hysterically amusing photos of animal creatures in the wild and 45 of them made it to the next level which will take place before the month ends.
Winners from this level will be announced on November 11. The champion will receive a prize of a round trip ticket for 2 to one-week photographic safari in Southern Tanzania and a Nikon D750 camera. Prizes will also be given to silver and bronze winners.
Wildlife TV presenter Kate Humble, photographers Tom Sullam and Will Burrard-Lucas, comedian Hugh Dennis and Will Travers OBE, president of the Born Free Foundation are part of the judging panels.
