A photo of a grumpy sea turtle apparently giving the finger won the top prize at this year’s Comedy Wildlife P – Business Insider India

While swimming off the coast of Lady Elliot Island in Queensland, Australia, photographer Mark Fitzpatrick encountered a sea turtle coming towards him.

At just the right moment, he snapped a photo of the turtle's flipper pulling back into what appeared to be a middle finger. Coupled with the turtle's grumpy expression, it made for a hilarious shot.

As the winner of the 2020 contest, Fitzpatrick won a safari in Masai Mara, Kenya, a Think Tank photography bag, and a Nikon camera.

He continued, "I hope Terry the Turtle can encourage more people to take a moment and think about how much our incredible wildlife depend on us and what we can do to help them. Flippers crossed that this award puts Terry in a better mood next time I see him at Lady Elliot Island!"
