2026 Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards, shortlist is officially in, with an “Elvis-impersonating” caiman, a handstanding leopard, and an orangutan with zero filter
A pantanal alligator with a hairstyle reminiscent of the look of Elvis Presley, a brown bear apparently doing physical exercises and a praise-to-God in an unusual pose are among the highlights of the finalists of the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards 2026, an international contest that rewards well-humored photographs of wild animals. The selection was released after a record of more than 10,000 registrations of photographers from 112 countries.
