The recording of a kangaroo that appears to be playing the guitar was chosen as the overall winner of the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. The moment was captured by Jason Moore in Perth, Australia.
“Few people know that kangaroos are normally quite docile and even a little boring most of the time. However, when I saw this one with a guitar pose, I immediately smiled. I knew I had captured something really special,” said Jason.
The photographer won a week-long trip to a safari, as well as a trophy.
Three other photographs were awarded: the “ballerina” otter, by Otter Lwek, in the “underwater” category; that of a heron diving, by Vittoria Ricci, in the “creatures of the air” category; and two baby birds that seem to be in an argument, by Jacek Stankiewicz, in the Junior and People’s Choice categories.

The award ceremony, which takes place annually, chooses the funniest and most unusual photographs of wild animals taken throughout the year. More than five thousand photos from 85 different countries were submitted in 2023.
The judging team is made up of professional photographers, wildlife experts and celebrities such as television presenter Kate Humble and the actor and comedian Hugh Dennis .
