DownloadI'd like to introduce you to this comedy wildlife competition.
Now no one’s day will ever be as chill as that of a raccoon.
Indeed, life throws bad days at all of us.
And sometimes things can get worse.
You can wake up with a bad hair day.
(Laughter)
Now the pictures you're seeing today
are the result of a wildlife photography competition
that we created to recognize the positive values of wildlife
and how it impacts all of us.
Now as the competition developed,
we started to receive thousands of photographs,
more than we'd expected.
And these photographs began to communicate with us in many different ways,
ways we might have expected,
and then these ways.
