The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, known for being one of the most entertaining photography contests, has just wrapped up, and this year’s top prize goes to Jason Moore for his hilarious and brilliantly captured photo of a kangaroo, cheekily named “Air Guitar Roo.” Not only did this fantastic shot win the overall competition, but it also rocked the Creatures of the Land category, too.Jason's photo stood out among a whopping 5,300 entries submitted by 1,842 photographers from 85 countries. Moore’s photo of the female western grey kangaroo was taken in the outer suburbs of Perth, Australia when Jason visited a field of wildflowers to snap some pics of the many adult kangaroos and joeys playing there. “The shoot turned out to be a great session, and I am quite fond of several images that I captured,” Moore said in a statement. “Not many people know that kangaroos are normally fairly docile and even a bit boring most of the time if I’m honest. However, when I saw this roo striking the air guitar pose, it immediately brought a smile to my face, and I knew that I had captured something really special."

Grizzly bears are some of the most notorious killers in the woods and there is a good reason for it. They are absolute beasts that grow massive, reaching over 1,000 pounds at their most. These massive bears can stand over 7 feet tall and will hunt just about anything. They have the power to take down a fully grown moose, with a bite that can crush bone.

Nothing is safe if a grizzly wants it.

So, the folks that deal with them for a living certainly have an interesting job. Anyone how works with wildlife learns their ways and is typically calm...

A historic sighting at Yellowstone National Park. Until June of this year, the most cubs that a single grizzly sow has been spotted with is four. But wildlife photographer Stan Mills might have just changed the record books at Yellowstone, because the breathtaking video he captured shows a single mom (who likely works two jobs, loves her kids and never stops) corralling and traveling with five bear cubs.
