FUNNY CREATURES – A Wildly Hair-larious Photo Safari!

Centre des sciences de Montréal

Travel the world to meet all kinds of living animals! A fun activity to do in Montréal, this all-new edition of the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards features 60 photos taken across the Earth’s vast ecosystems capturing charming creatures in their natural habitats.

  • Tropical forests
  • Open landscapes (savannahs, prairies, shrublands, and Mediterranean woodlands)
  • Temperate and boreal forests
  • Freshwater environments
  • Polar regions
  • Oceans

Meet animals from all over the world, including some you may have never seen before. Explore their habitats and see that animals can be as funny as we are, no matter where they live!  Meet rare and lesser-known species, such as:

  • the Komodo dragon
  • Verreaux’s sifaka
  • the painted frogfish
  • the Japanese snow monkey
  • the mountain gorilla
  • the crab-eating macaque
  • the grey kangaroo
  • the elephant seal
  • …and many more!

Take the challenge! See if you can recognize the songs and cries of different animals by playing a fun and interactive quiz game. Made to entertain and amaze visitors of all ages!

An exhibition created by the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards in partnership with Terra Esplêndida and the Montreal Science Centre.
