This photo, taken by Valtteri Mulkahainen, was included in his winning portfolio for the 2018 Comedy Nature Photo Contest.

Sotkamo-based photographer Valtteri Mulkahainen’s bear photos are again in the final of the Funny Nature Photos competition.

Mulkahai has two images in the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. In one, the bear peers from behind a pine tree and looks at the camera. In the other, a small bear cub sniffs a meadowfoam flower with its mother in the background, eyes closed.

Valtteri Mulkahainen won the Portfolios Series in 2018. The winning tea piece included six of his bear images.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards photo competition is open to wildlife photographers of all skill levels. Its purpose is to celebrate the funlessness of nature. Every year, thousands of photos from all over the world are sent to be evaluated by the jury.

40 photos have been selected for the final of the competition, among which the funniest animal photos of the year will be awarded. The competition will be decided at the beginning of December.
