A kangaroo playing an air guitar has won the title for the funniest animal photo of the year. It was accidentally captured in Australia
This year the jury for the Comedy Wildlife Photo Award assessed more than 1,800 photos from 85 countries. One image in particular caught the jury’s attention: a kangaroo in an air guitar pose.
In addition to the winner of the main category, other animal photos were also honored. Here are the winning images – and how they were created.
“An unusual and almost unfortunate ending to a perfect moment previously set up for successful fishing.”
«The ground squirrel jumped as if it could fly. Unfortunately he has no wings. To his surprise, it fell back to the ground.”
«I shot this scene while bird watching in the Bialowieza Forest. The young greenfinch was still being fed by his parents. But every now and then it seemed like the birds were having a fight. My friends interpret this scene in two ways.
1. A young, naughty child argues with a parent.
2. A child tells his parents that his brother has done something wrong: ‘Look, he broke the glass in the window.'”

«An otter ballerina dances gracefully in an arabesque position. The otter jumped while trying to grab the overhanging leaves and ended up in an arabesque position via an unusual landing. I showed this photo to a ballet teacher and she said the otter was a natural and just needed to pull its belly in a little, which is exactly what a ballet teacher would advise.”
“I drove past a group of western gray kangaroos feeding in an open meadow with beautiful yellow flowers. I had my camera with me so I stopped to take a few pictures. Suddenly I noticed this person striking a humorous pose – to me it looks like he was practicing playing his air guitar.”
