The People's Choice and Creatures Under the Water award went to Harry Walker for his photograph, titled 'Oh My!'. We love the sea otter's look of shock and OTTER cuteness!

The Creatures in the Air award went to this funny pair of Croatian birds, who appear to be having a very heated disagreement. We wouldn't want to get in the middle of that...

There were also a lot of Commended Winners on the list that didn't win a category award but were just too funny to miss! This chilled out chimp was pictured in Tanzania.

This was part of a series of images for the Portfolio winning entry. The images give us a snapshot into the romantic lives of cape squirrels. The photographs are named 'First comes love... then comes marriage', and you'll see why next...
