The Winners Of This Year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards Have Finally Been Announced, And The Photos Are Too Funny (16 Pics)
After a long wait, the winners of the 2020 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have finally been announced – and the photos are absolutely hilarious. This year, the title of Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year went to photographer Mark Fitzpatrick for his photo titled ‘Terry the Turtle flipping the bird’ captured near the coast of Lady Elliot Island in Queensland, Australia. His photo beat 7,000 other entries from all around the globe, and the man said he was both stoked and honored to be awarded the title.
“It’s been amazing to see the reaction to my photo of Terry the Turtle flipping the bird, with Terry giving people a laugh in what has been a difficult year for many, as well as helping spread an important conservation message,” said Mark. “Hopefully, Terry the Turtle can encourage more people to take a moment and think about how much our incredible wildlife depends on us and what we can do to help them. Flippers crossed that this award puts Terry in a better mood the next time I see him at Lady Elliot Island!”
