Aside from being educational, animals can also provide entertainment. Their strange actions and amusing expressions show that being out of the ordinary can be endearing. To showcase this, we scoured the web for amusing pictures of animals engaging in unusual activities. Take a peek at these hilarious shots of animals exhibiting eccentric behavior.
New Hat?
If you have less hair, you may feel colder than usual. This could be the reason why a man in the picture requested the Australian magpie to sit on his head, as it could help keep him warm. The picture was shared by a Reddit user and it looks quite amusing.
Despite being considered as pests in Australia, magpies are not entirely portrayed negatively as demonstrated by the picture which depicts their caring and amiable traits.
Stretch!
It’s a well-known fact that cats enjoy stretching, particularly when it comes to extending their lengthy limbs and paws. This particular cat, we can assume, had spent the day lounging on the couch and thus felt the urge to stretch his muscles; this delightful photo was captured in the process.
The cat appears unusually long and has a “mittens” look when he stretches his limbs, as described by a Reddit user. It is uncertain if he was born with exceptional paws, but he is undeniably cute and flawless.
Synchronized Silliness
When we first saw this picture, we were so surprised that we had to look at it twice. We thought that the photo was of one dog that had been copied, but it was actually two dogs in the picture that were captured by their owner. Both of them looked silly and cute.
It is unclear how these two puppies were able to coordinate their unusual position, but they were able to do it simultaneously. Although we are familiar with synchronized swimming, seeing synchronized stretching is a new experience.
Sitting on His Porcelain Throne
Owners of felines often make humorous remarks about how cats tend to curl up and relax in peculiar spots, as if their thought process is “if it fits, I shall sit.” However, this particular cat is defying the stereotype that all cats dislike water, by choosing a rather unconventional spot to sit.
The cat has chosen the owner’s bidet as a perfect place to sit and ponder about life, although we are concerned about the possibility of the owners needing to use it soon.
Drop It!
Similar to human siblings, dog siblings may occasionally engage in a dispute over a particular toy. In this scenario, two dogs appear to be fixated on the identical object, a pink spiked ball. It is unclear which dog initiated the attempt to obtain the ball, but they have both found themselves in a difficult situation.
It appears that the dog on the left will come out victorious in this game of tug-of-war for the ball, based on the intense focus in his eyes.
Needs More Horsepower
It is uncertain if the owner of this car intended for their desire for more horsepower to involve a horse. The owner of the horse stated that the animal chose to roll and frolic near the car.
The outcome was a humorous image along with numerous jests concerning the horse’s resemblance to faking an insurance scam by feigning being struck by the stationary vehicle. It’s amusing how the creature doesn’t comprehend its large size and likely perceives itself as a little pony enjoying the greenery.
Got It!
A piece of string or yarn is the ultimate favorite of cats, even more than costly toys or catnip, as this particular cat appears to be highly enthusiastic about it.
The cat appears to be more adaptable than usual as it performs its yoga positions in an excited state. Its expression, wide-eyed and focused on the piece of string in its paws, is amusing and causes us to burst out in laughter.
A Smile Only a Mother Could Love
To put it frankly, llamas are typically not recognized for their elegance. With their tangled and curly hair resembling a mullet and their tendency to spit, llamas don’t exhibit exceptional physical beauty.
However, despite the circumstances, these llamas chose to strike a pose and display their bright smiles for the camera, resulting in a comical photo. Although we have no knowledge about the one on the left, it’s apparent that the llama on the right has a potential career in modeling.
Spider Cat, Spider Cat
As children, many of us would imagine ourselves as superheroes. Interestingly, kittens also seem to share this aspiration! One particular kitten decided to transform into his own version of a superhero, Spider Cat.
The little cat without a Spidey Suit seems to be challenging Pet1er Parker in his abilities. It’s not clear how the cat managed to climb up there, but it looks at ease. It’s amusing to see the cat’s lesser skilled companion looking up with a mix of astonishment and fear.
Purrr-anormal Activity
Generally, we fail to comprehend the correlation between cats and eerie occurrences. But after observing this picture, we are now starting to comprehend why these cats have gained a frightening image.
The sphinx cat owned by this individual was captured looking particularly frightening while sitting on a high shelf. Due to the ideal dim lighting, the cat-like sinister antagonist from a horror film. It is recommended that the owner sleeps with the lights on henceforth.
That’s My Best Bunny
Just like people, animals with different personalities may attract each other. Despite the fact that cats and bunnies are generally not compatible (at least not without conflict), these two adorable creatures have developed a strong and affectionate bond.
It seems that friendships between bunnies and cats are more common than we thought. The owner of this unique pair revealed that the cat enjoys cuddling with the bunny, and we can see that the bunny seems to be quite at ease while snuggling up with its feline friend.
Undercover Turtle
Although it is unclear how this small turtle ended up beneath a heap of covers, he seems content in that position. While we acknowledge that turtles might require cuddle time with their human caregivers, the covers are probably not sufficient to keep this little creature warm.
All reptiles including turtles are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources such as sunlight or UV light to regulate their body temperature. However, it is amusing to witness a turtle hiding under covers.
Fox in the Fridge
Although many of us only turn to leftover food when it’s our only option, this fox has no qualms about searching the refrigerator for a snack. It’s unknown how this clever fox was able to infiltrate a kitchen and discover that the fridge is a reliable source of sustenance.
There is a chance that the fox seen in the video is a pet fox that has been accustomed to human company. Nonetheless, we appreciate its ability to balance itself as it reaches deep into the refrigerator to fetch its meal.
Cat Customer Service
The truth is that the current situation is difficult. Merely being cute is not sufficient for cats anymore; they must put in some effort to earn their rewards. For several years, this lovable worker has assisted clients in locating their household repair necessities.
Sharkbite is the informal manager of this hardware store, and although the store may contain hazardous items, this feline is surely skilled at navigating through the different sections with ease.
Just Call Her Ms. Independent
A lot of people who own cats tend to boast about their cats being more self-sufficient than dogs. Although this may hold some truth, this particular dog is proving that she is capable of going for walks without relying on her owner.
It is unclear what prompted her to take control of her leash and go for a walk on her own. It could be that she was fed up with waiting for her owner to accompany her. Nonetheless, we admire her self-reliance as a strong independent female.
Nope, No Cat Here
We’ve heard of the old excuse, “The dog ate my homework,” but this is something completely new! This cat decided that he would hide under a pile of his owner’s homework. We get it — homework can be tough!
While we think he should take a bit of a break from hitting the books, he should probably do a bit more research on better hiding spots! Perhaps this student can tell their teacher that they couldn’t complete their homework because their cat was using it as a shelter.
You Talkin’ to Me?
Let’s be honest — chihuahuas are a pretty intimidating breed. What they lack in size, they often make up for in character.
These tiny terrors have a pretty ferocious reputation in the dog world, and this tiny pup is no different. Don’t be fooled by his little fluffy bathrobe, this pup means business. After all, look at his little teeth! Making fun of his robe might be the last thing you do!
Treatment: Lots of Treats
This Turkish vet thought he would have just a regular day at his clinic. Instead, he got bullied (in the cutest way of course) to write a very cat-friendly prescription, which we’re sure included lots of yummy treats.
This Reddit user shared this adorable picture of a kitten clinging to his vet as he wrote out some prescriptions. We’re sure the vet didn’t mind having this cute little patient next to him!
The Pup Princess and the Pea
Dogs, like humans, can sometimes develop a larger-than-normal sense of entitlement. This pup decided that one bed simply wasn’t enough. Instead, she decided to pull her bed on top of her doggie sibling’s bed in order to have a super-sized place to rest.
She did show a little bit of generosity though by letting her brother rest his head on the corner of her super-bed. It’s pretty funny to see how she created this new resting ritual, and how her brother just goes along with it!
Netflix and Huh?
Look closely at this photo — there’s something (or rather someone) that’s a bit strange. This raccoon and dog have gotten so comfortable with one another that they think nothing of snuggling together on the couch for a good movie.
Judging by the large stomach of this raccoon, he should probably indulge in less binge-watching and movie snacks, and more outdoor activities! We just love how unenthused the dog is at his plump raccoon buddy!
Starting the Day on a Roll
Most cat owners will tell you that cats can get up to some very silly antics when they’re not being supervised. This Reddit user’s cat had been missing for a little while when she suddenly heard some loud meowing in another room.
When she got in, she saw that her cat had somehow managed to get a roll of tape stuck around and on his head. While mom thankfully saved the day, we have a feeling it’s not the first time this cat gets up to some mischief!
Not Puppy-Proof
Kong brand toys are known to be some of the strongest and best-quality toys for pets in the world. Unfortunately, this dog may make the toy developers head back to the design room because this dog is proving that these toys are most certainly not puppy-proof.
Despite his small size, this pup managed to shred this toy. Considering how sharp his teeth are, it’s probably better that he practices teething on this toy and not someone’s fingers!
A Real-Life Snoopy
Snoopy, the beloved cartoon character, is often pictured sitting on top of his dog house. While this real-life Snoopy prefers to sit on top of his owner’s tornado shelter, the two dogs do share a lot of similarities!
Both enjoy sitting on top of structures and gazing out pensively. We wonder if this Snoopy has his own little bird sidekick like Woodstock?
From Fluffy to Frizzy
From causing embarrassing clinginess in clothing to making us look shocked, static can be the worst. This pup must have been somewhere with a lot of static electricity to have caused her hair to stand on end like this.
While static hair isn’t a great look for most humans, this pup named Luna looks even more adorable with her new hairdo. We’re sure she didn’t understand why her owner was probably laughing and taking pictures of her shocking new look!
Splish-Splash, This Raccoon’s Taking a Bath
It’s no secret that raccoons are naturally drawn to water. In fact, in many languages, their name translates to “wash bear” due to their habit of dipping food into the water before consuming it.
This raccoon in particular has taken their love of water to the next level by turning this sink into his own personal soaking tub. Who knows? After a long day of sleeping in trees and scavenging through the garbage at night, we would be exhausted too!
A Special Type of Plant
Cats and plants actually have a lot in common with one another if you think about it. They both require very specific care, enjoy being in the sun, and can sometimes be prickly when pet (or touched).
This cat made himself at home in a planter with heart-shaped holes. While these holes were originally intended for plant roots, it doesn’t seem to be doing a good job containing all of this chunky cat’s fluff!
Caffeinated Canines
This Reddit user snapped this adorable photo of her puppy enjoying his first puppuccino. Offered by Starbucks coffee shops, puppuccinos are simply small cups of whipped cream that four-legged customers can enjoy while their owner gets the real stuff.
Some pet owners enjoy getting one of these as a rare treat for their pups. Though these puppuccinos don’t contain caffeine, we can see this sweet treat becoming just as addictive as their many caffeinated beverages.
Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Almost every neighborhood has that one strange neighbor. Perhaps they’re the type of neighbor that enjoys gossiping or complains a lot. This neighborhood has a cat that likes to show off his feline figure to the neighborhood by pressing his body against the windows that overlook the neighborhood.
We’re not sure what his goal is in doing this, but we’re sure seeing a cat stand like that when it’s the middle of the night is probably quite creepy!
You’ve Got Meow Mail
Most cat owners know that there’s just something about boxes that draws cats in. This cat took his cardboard box obsession a bit too far and almost got himself mailed because of it.
Somehow, he was able to squeeze himself into a small cardboard box. We’re sure that while he probably has a pick of cat-appropriate sleeping spots and toys, he chose this tiny mailing box to catch some “zzzzs.”
Lord of the Chinchillas
Chinchillas are adorable small rodents native to South America. Behind their cute exterior and fluffy coats, they can be quite strong characters like this one here.
With his strong stance and staff made from a tiny branch, he greatly resembles the wizard Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings novels and films. Particularly the scene in which Gandalf raises his staff and tells the Balrog, a powerful monster, “You Shall Not Pass!”
Working From Home Can Be Ruff
As more of our lives have moved to the digital world, so have many of our jobs and even schools. This dog looks just like most of us do when we’re trying to figure out how to work a video calling system.
We wonder what made him want to sit on that chair next to the computer in such a human-like way. We wonder if even playtime at the dog park has moved onto the web?
Beanie Bed
Like many animals, ferrets enjoy catching up on their beauty sleep in small, warm places. It’s no surprise that this ferret chose its owner’s hat as the perfect place to crawl up and sleep.
With long bodies reaching up to 20 inches, we’re pretty surprised that this ferret was able to curl up in this tiny beanie cap. Judging by this ferret’s face, we’re sure it wasn’t too happy to be roused from its slumber!
Let Me Help You With That
Most people would agree that emptying a dishwasher is one of the most tedious and less-enjoyable chores we have to do. Lucky for this family, their cat looks like they enjoy taking out the clean dishes from the dishwasher.
We love how excited the cat is to be next to the dishwasher. With many cat lovers claiming that cats are generally cleaner pets, we’re starting to believe them! We wonder what other chores this cat enjoys doing?
Chandelier Sugar Gliders
Most people looking up at a chandelier may expect to see a few cobwebs, few would expect to see a pair of adorable marsupials just hanging out on a light fixture. These two tiny acrobats are sugar gliders, small tree-dwelling marsupials native to Australia.
As their name implies, sugar gliders are amazing climbers and are able to glide across great distances by using a special flap of skin. While this usually helps them glide from tree to tree, it can also help them reach this light fixture!
Sit Still!
Pop culture is full of references to the age-old battle between felines and canines. While we may never know who the winner would be, this photo may give us a clue. We’re not quite sure how this cat was able to overpower this fennec fox in order to sit on him.
Fennec foxes are native to the Sahara Desert and are the smallest member of the dog family. We just think it’s funny how the cat seems so calm as he sits on his little fox friend.
When You’re Incapable of Making a Serious Face
Most people would consider sticking your tongue out to be rude or inappropriate. Unfortunately, due to missing several teeth and a bit of her cheek, this cat was often stuck with her tongue hanging out.
Her owner shared pictures of her unintentionally silly face and the explanation behind it. We just think it’s interesting how serious her eyes look while her mouth tells a completely different story! Tongue out or tucked-in, she’s still adorable!
Cat That’s Half Bat
It’s not surprising to see an animal resort to some pretty impressive gymnastics in order to steal some human snacks from their owner. That said, this cat’s moves are more bizarre than they are impressive.
We can’t imagine that eating upside down is all that comfortable, and it’s probably not the healthiest way to eat. Whatever is in this bowl is apparently worth risking a tummy-ache for according to this nimble cat.
Foxy Pizza Party
Our favorite part of this photo has to be the fox’s face — who hasn’t made a similar face when a hot pie of pizza has arrived at the table? This fox speaks (or rather smiles) for all of us when he was photographed, beaming with happiness, sitting in front of a delicious pizza.
We would ask how he learned to behave so well in a restaurant, but most people would also sit politely with such a meal in front of them!
Dog Yoga
This Reddit user shared this puzzling photo of their dog in what looks like one of the weirdest positions we’ve ever seen. To some degree, we understand his reluctance to get off the couch.
What we don’t understand is the stretching that he’s doing to rest his snout on the nearby coffee table. Wouldn’t it be easier to just fully lay down on the soft couch? All that stretching can’t be comfortable!
What Big Teeth You Have!
We’re sure that when this family adopted their dog, they didn’t think they were getting a dog-piranha hybrid. Though we’re sure Fido was able to hide his toothy secret from them for years, the truth came out when he was given a particularly special ball.
Caught up in the excitement of this ball, he exposed a jaw of fang-like teeth with an equally chilling look. While we’re sure his family still loves him, they might want to not give him that green ball again!
