These are the amazing crisp shots of animals doing things you don't often see... and they're hilarious.

The photography competition aims to raise awareness of conservation through comedy and received more than 3,500 entries from 86 countries.

Its winners, judged by the likes of TV presenter Kate Humble and comedian Hugh Dennis, were announced last night.

There were only five official winners across the categories, but many worthy competitors.
