image of a squirrel stuck in a tree has been named the overall winner of this year\u2019s Nikon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/travel\/comedy-wildlife-photo-award-2023-winners-revealed\/index.html\">Comedy Wildlife<\/a> Photography Awards, with a frog in a bubble and a bream chasing a bald eagle

data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            \u201cStuck Squirrel\u201d by Milko Marchetti was chosen as the winner from more than 9,000 entries, the highest number received in the competition\u2019s 10-year history, the organizers said in a statement published Tuesday.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4jox6wi0000356m3vesk24u@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            The team whittled the entries down to a selection of 45, which were then put to a judging panel that selected the overall winner as well as nine category winners.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph

data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            Marchetti\u2019s photo shows the moment a red squirrel is entering its hide in the trunk of a tree, with its legs at right angles to the trunk.\n

data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            \u201cI have taken many, many photographs of squirrels, in many situations over the years in Italy, but this one struck me as really funny and such a strange position, because it is that exact moment when the squirrel is detaching its back legs from the trunk to enter its hide,\u201d Marchetti said in the statement.\n

Stefan Maier, senior general manager of marketing at Nikon Europe, said he was thrilled to announce Marchetti\u2019s win, adding that his image \u201cbrilliantly captures the playful and unpredictable moments that make nature so enchanting.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"

Among the nine category winners were Kingston Tam, who won the Nikon Young Photographer Award with a close-up shot of a smiling frog, and 10-year old Flynn Thaitanunde-Lobb, who became the youngest ever category winner with four images of a rock star squirrel that took home first place in the Portfolio category.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"
