Hilarious dancing gorilla wins top prize at Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards

Nikon has revealed the winners of the funniest photography competition around, the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards! Mark Meth-Cohn, an amateur wildlife photographer from the UK won with his hilarious image, ‘High Five’ of a gorilla dancing through a forest clearing, taken in Rwanda earlier this year.

Mark’s comical photograph stood out among a record-breaking 10,000 entries from 109 countries – the highest number in the Awards’ illustrious eleven-year history. From this extraordinary collection, 44 of the very best entries, including videos, were shortlisted for the judging panel to select their favourites. The competition was as fierce as ever; however, Mark’s photograph emerged as a clear favourite among the judges – with the shot also claiming the Mammals Category Award.
