And the best caption is…

Posted on by Fay Curtis.

In this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at M Shed
(28 November 2015 – 10 April 2016) we asked visitors to write ‘a caption to make us laugh’ for two images – Turtle Flight by David Doubilet and Komodo Judo by Andrey Gudkov.

We had hundreds of entries but we’ve managed to select our winner who has won a year’s family pass to Bristol Zoo Gardens. Captions do not represent the views of Bristol City Council.
