50 Horribly Unphotogenic Animals That Might Make You Laugh Way Harder Than You Should
We all behave totally derpy from time to time, usually completely by accident. And though it can be slightly embarrassing to be seen as a total goofball, it helps to know that it isn’t just a human quality—animals aren’t immune to silliness either.
The r/AnimalsBeingDerps online community is a wonderful niche on the internet that never fails to improve our mood. Members of the subreddit share photos and videos of animals behaving like total derps, and we’ve collected some of their top pics to make you smile, dear Pandas. Scroll down, and upvote your fave pics, but be warned—you might have the sudden urge to adopt a(nother) pet!
Bored Panda was interested to learn more about helping pets enjoy themselves during photo sessions, so we reached out to Toronto pet photographer Karen Weiler. She shed some light on this and revealed what amateur photographers can do to stay motivated if they feel like they've missed the 'perfect' shot. Read on for our full interview with her.

Honestly It's A Big Mood
First of all, she's fine. Just dumb.
I was standing in the barn Friday afternoon and Kricket was making laps around the pasture when her sliding stop didn't go to plan. I watched it happen y'all- she busted her butt and slid under the fence with one foot resting on the wire. Literally all that was off kilter- but when she pulled her foot her shoe caught on the wire and she thought she was trapped.
So she died. Right then and there. Just gave up on life completely and said "may as well get a backhoe". This heifer refused to stand up, eyes closed, "NO MOM I IS DED". Probably from embarrassment. When I finally convinced her to roll her big ass over and get up she got up holding her leg off the ground like it was broke. You know - the trapped leg. I made her walk and she hobbled 4 strides before she set her leg down like "oh I still have a leg there" and then trotted around in circles blowing and snorting from her near death experience.
And the award for best drama goes to....... Kricket.

Soft can-openers are so thick! Over and over we sit in boxes. We sit in boxes until our sitters are practically made of cardboard. Yes! Give us a box, and we will sit in it! Write it down on your fancy glowing rectangle or something.

The chair belongs to the cat. The soft can-opener belongs to the cat. The cat is merely reminding his soft can-opener just who is in charge.
