The 2025 Comedy Wildlife Awards Showcase Furious Brawls and Relatable Mishaps

As it turns out, humans aren’t the only animals with a flair for drama. The 2025 Comedy Wildlife Awards (previously) presents another collection of angsty, surprised, and utterly terrified creatures around the globe. This year’s competition highlights several characters that would be right at home in a neighborhood yoga studio, from the elegant orangutan doing her own interpretation of tree pose to a fox crashing onto its neck after an all too relatable misstep.
