The 2025 Nikon Comedy Wildlife competition is heating up with less than a month left to enter. In the meantime, the organization behind the competition has shared some promising contenders so far from this year’s competition. These include photos of a little lizard sitting pretty on top of big lizard’s head, a roe deer defying gravity, and a couple of mudskippers having the best time in the world.
“That’s right, we have some of the first hilarious Nikon Comedy Wildlife entries from the 2025 competition of . . . well, wildlife being their usual brilliant selves, showing off and making us realise that we are very lucky to have them on this planet!” wrote Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards on Instagram. “There is just under a month to go before the funniest photography competition in the world closes for 2025 entries.”
