December is already pretty darn joyful, but why not up the merry ante with a peruse of the winners of this year’s Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards?
The winner for 2025 is (drum roll, please!) Mark Meth-Cohn, who snapped an adorable picture of a dancing gorilla, entitled ‘High Five’.

But this was far from the only charming image recognised at this year’s awards – we covered a roundup of all finalists back in October, but below are our handpicked favourites of the 2025 champions, which includes the winner of the Thinktank Bird and Junior Photographer categories.
Keen to get involved next year? The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards will be open for new submissions on March 14. Oh, and here are the champions from the 2024 competition.
