A cheeky orangutan, a charismatic crocodile and a sleepy hummingbird are among the finalists for this year's Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

The competition, known for its celebration of the animal kingdom's silliest moments, will announce a winner in December.

More than 10,000 entries were submitted by professional and amateur photographers who wanted to capture the world's creatures in all their glory.
