Funny Animals, Part 12

"QUANTUM SHOT" #469
link


This page perhaps contains more hilarity than you've seen all week

I know, it's not very modest headline, but hey, what if it's actually true? Some images here are so great, that they might stick with you for 24 hours or more (but then again, you might be already so jaded by Fark / Reddit Image section combination that nothing short of picture of.... say, newly-discovered alien gangster worms getting drunk in the middle of Brooklyn, will move you.)

Animals don't care about any of that, and routinely put up their best expressions for the fun of it, or simply to live and to communicate. The fact that it later becomes a work distraction for thousands of bored office workers (and a fertile ground for the subsequent LOLlification) is just an inevitable byproduct.

We'll start traditionally with "The Cute, The Weird and The Ugly" section - Cute comes first (an adorable baby sloth):

Sun Bears or Malayan Sun Bears are the smallest bears in the world (more pics... this one does not seem very happy) -

Big-eyed beauty... A face that launched 10,000 hikers (up the tree) -

Best hair since Elvis

Mary River turtles! See more of these beauties from Sunshine Coast, Australia, in this photo set:

By the way, this particular type of turtle is only found in one river and the Queensland Government is about to dam it... not cool.

Another creature with a radical hair:



And great facial color of the Golden Monkeys from Korea:

But we mentioned the ugly... you want "ugly", so we provide:




Family Matters!

This mother definitely has the right priorities:



Another proud parent:

Men are from Mars, Cats are from...

They know where they're from, but they're not telling:







Some cats have to earn the living the hard way:



They get stressed, too:



"Here's Johnny!" (Jack Nicholson in "the Shining") -



This is what happens to normal kittens when they get "all work and no play". Or, he turns into Japan's Godzilla-Cat Monster:



Slightly mad kitten:

Kitten from ASCII -



What else can you do with cats? Dance with them, of course! -




It's a Dog's Life

Some dogs avoid to be that hilarious. You'd love them to death.



The image above should teach a lesson to those putting up unreasonable signage.









Sleeping dogs are irresistible... even to cats:

We saw slightly mad kitten, now let's see a totally goofy dog:

Animal Acrobatics

Yoga classes are always a good idea for your pet:




(part of the clever Rubik's Cube ad, see more)

Various exercises keep birds and animals in shape:

"Horses (and donkeys) stuck in manholes" becomes a theme of its own, amazingly:

We conclude this section with the most improbable gravity-defying act (... luckily for this elephant, it's just a sculpture - by Daniel Firman) -

Humans / Animals interaction

Awwww... very good interaction, indeed -



Intense! -





Time to go to work:



Some really big bird must live here:



These bulls do not seem to mind -




Some stressful situations & encounters

This is probably the tightest:

Try this interesting version, too.

"It's definitely getting smaller..." -

Great ingenuity:




Chilling Out, Having a Good Time...









...or even a romance:



Lizards can be fun:
