How does a wildlife photographer strike comedy gold? Know-how, patience -- and lots of luck
Wildlife photographer Jennifer Hadley's goal is to show wild animals "living their lives and being who they are."
Sometimes, that means capturing a creature's inherent grace, majesty and ferocity. Other times, it means showing them being downright goofy.
"For me, it's really about capturing all the wonder that these animals bring to our lives and to ask people to see them, to protect them and to fight for them," Hadley told As It Happens host Nil Köksal.

Two of the photographer's shots are finalists in the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, an annual contest that "uses humour as a tool to bring audiences in on the wider story about sustainability, and crucially wildlife conservation."
