We’ve all been eagerly waiting and the moment of truth has finally come: the winners of the 2020 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been announced! We think all the finalists this year were fabulous, but this year’s winners are, in our opinion, genuinely worth the honor of being called the best of the best.
This year’s overall winner is Mark Fitzpatrick for his amazing photograph, ‘Terry the Turtle flipping the bird,’ which beat 7k other entries from around the world. Mark captured the image when he was swimming with the turtles off Lady Elliot Island in Queensland, Australia. He managed to catch the moment when Terry’s flipper is pulling back as he swims towards the camera, making it appear as if the turtle is actually flipping Mark the bird and means it.
Scroll down, check out all of this year’s winners, and read on for Bored Panda’s interview with Tom Sullam, one of the founders of the marvelous photo competition. When you’re done enjoying the magnificent photos, have a look through the full list of this year’s finalists here and check out last year’s winners right here.
