I like big bots and I cannot lie: This is strange. The first-ever “Miss AI” beauty pageant unveiled its 10 finalists from a pool of 1,500 AI-generated models. Judges (both human and droid) choose contenders like Morocco’s Kenza Layli and Europe’s Anne Kerdi. There’s $20,000 on the line. Click here to see who else is in the running. I’m surprised by how normal the women look.
You have to see these comedy wildlife photo finalists
If you want to go through a full range of emotions in one 30 minute period, all you need to do is flip on a nature show. Watching wildlife in its native habitat can fascinating, heartbreaking, and hilarious depending on the moment.
Ever seen a TikTok of a tiny monkey hanging out with a kitten? Tap or click here to see if TikTok is really a national security threat. What about that video of the young kid being pulled into the water by a sea lion? Then you know exactly what we’re talking about. Getting a glimpse of animals being, well, animals can be pretty amusing.
While there’s tons of wildlife content out there to dig through, not all of it captures the true essence of what it means to be a wild animal. It can take some time to find the funniest wildlife photos, so we’re lucky to have a wildlife photography competition that can help us out.
Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards
Each year, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards digs through tons of animal images to find the funniest photos. The competition was founded by conservationists and professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is free to enter and open to photographers across the world, and it results in some seriously hilarious images.
This year’s entries have already been narrowed down by the judges to the 44 top images for 2020. These photos include a fox in heavy negotiations with a mouse, a seriously smiley fish, a photo-bombing giraffe and a very poorly p-p-p-penguin, among a ton of other gut-busting images.
The Category and Overall Winners will be announced on October 22. The photographer with the top image submission will win a one-week safari with Alex Walker’s Serian in the Masai Mara, Kenya, and a unique handmade trophy from the Art Garage in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
