The fruit shell selected some of the shortlisted works to see the animals' appearance and happy moments.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > "Mom, hair tight"</h1>
Photographer: Chee Kee Teo
In Singapore, otters (Smooth-coated otters) seem to adapt well to urbanization, nesting under bridges, running on roads, eating ornamental fish in the pool in front of the hotel...
Although there are occasional conflicts, people still love these otters. In Singapore, different otter families have their own names, and there are currently about 10 otter families with at least 90 individuals, and the number continues to grow. In the wild, most otters leave home around the age of 2, but Singapore's otters usually wait until they are three or four years old (similar to humans' 35 years old) to leave their parents in order to expand their territory.
However, the photographer Chee Kee Teo said that the otter in the photo was not actually its mother, but other otters in the family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="178" > Hum! Did I let you shoot it! </h1>
Photographer: Patrick Dirlam
Although its body looks round and hairy, the ruby-crowned kinglet is still very flexible, constantly shuttling between different branches. The photographer followed it all the way and watched it bounce around for 15 minutes. Because it is too active and moves quickly, this bird is very difficult to shoot.
But suddenly, it stopped, perhaps finding itself secretly photographed, staring at the photographer with a serious face for three seconds.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="179" > kicked a lonely one</h1>
Photographer: Lea Scaddan
During the breeding season, in order to win the female's favor, the male kangaroos will engage in "boxing" matches in an attempt to push each other down. In the process of pushing and shoving, the kangaroo will suddenly grab the other party, the tail is again edged, and then both feet are kicked up at the same time, kicking at each other.
In Perth, off the west coast of Australia, two western grey kangaroos are fighting fiercely. The kangaroo on the right jumped up in the air, originally wanted to kick each other's feet twice, but kicked a lonely... Just happened to be photographed by the photographer. Sometimes, young kangaroos punch just to kill time.
Usually, only the strongest males in western grey kangaroos have the opportunity to mate and reproduce. In addition, adult males have a strong curry smell on them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="180" > "Wow!" </h1>
Photographer: Ken Jensen
In Yunnan, a monkey sits on a wire with its mouth wide open and its eggs evenly stuck on either side of the wire.
It's hard not to think of the pain of hurting your intimate parts. But in fact, this "whoosh" is a manifestation of the monkey's aggressiveness. As for whether its reproductive important parts are painful or not, in fact, it is not known.
Are you, are you zooming in on the picture and looking at it carefully?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="182" > summer slipped by, leaving me autistic</h1>
Photographer: John Speirs
The photographer was photographing a pigeon in flight when a dead leaf suddenly stuck to the pigeon's face. "I guess summer is over."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="183" > Monday</h1>
Photographer: Andrew Mayes
Did you have the same expression this morning?
Pied Starlings have round eyes, a circle of "white eyes" surrounded by black eyeballs, looking angry. Coupled with the fact that their downward curved beaks are conspicuous yellow, the photographer can't help but exclaim, "Like me on Monday morning." ”
However, they don't have to go to work on Mondays. At the time of the photo, the birds were resting in a tree in a nature reserve in South Africa.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="185" > don't worry, have fun</h1>
Photographer: Axel Bocker
Early in the morning, a blue dragonfly parked on a pink flower seemed to give the camera a big smile.
In the past two years, everyone's emotions have been affected by the epidemic. "But when you walk out the door and look closely at the beauty of nature, it seems to me that the problem becomes less of a problem," says Axel Bocker, the photographer who photographed the smiling dragonfly. If the day doesn't go well, look at this photo, and the smile will always come back to the face.
Well, Monday is over, have a good night's sleep.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="187" > blue enough? </h1>
Photographer: Larry Petterborg
In a national park in Zambia, Africa, a male black long-tailed monkey with a small black face bowed down seems to observe his blue eggs. For black long-tailed monkeys, the degree of testicle blue is related to their social status — the lower the rank, the lighter the blue color of the testicles.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="188" > let goose kangkang</h1>
Photographer: Charlie Page
In the meadow, a flock of foraging geese attracted the photographer's attention. At this time, a small goose suddenly found another way and hid behind the legs of a bench. After a while, it tilted its head and poked out its small head:
"Let the goose kangkang, who is secretly filming the goose."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="189" > strong people also miss it</h1>
Photographer: David Eppley
The bald eagle is a large bird of prey, the female is larger than the male, and the width of the wings can reach 2 meters. To find a safe place for the eggs, they build a large nest in a very tall tree. Some bald-headed sea eagle parents return to the same nest every year, bringing some broken branches, leaves or dry grass and other materials to add bricks and tiles to the old nest.
Usually, for them, breaking a branch is a trivial matter. But apparently, the bald-headed sea eagle in the photo is a bit out of order. However, it flapped its wings twice and quickly adjusted back.
After a short rest, the birds of prey began to pick up the branches again.

Although it was only founded in 2015, the Funny Wildlife Photography Awards attract widespread attention every year. Every year, a portion of the competition's profits are donated to an animal protection agency, and this year is no exception, with 10% of the competition's net proceeds going to a Borneo orangutan conservation organization.
The tournament's founders say the fun photos allow people of different cultures and ages to see creatures they may never see in their lifetime.
In the past, people have seen too many photographs of wildlife and their habitat suffering. Therefore, it is necessary to try to raise awareness of wildlife conservation in a relaxed way through humor, a unique tool.
