What's funnier than a hedgehog enjoying a car ride? Or a bear climbing onto a bird feeder? A wild boar making a nudist bather chase it all around the beach by stealing their laptop, of course.
Animals never cease to find new ways to make us laugh. Luckily, we regularly capture them and share the footage on the Internet for everyone to see.
However, finding them online can be a hassle. So to save you some time, Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the funniest animal photos online, and they're all waiting for you below! Enjoy.

However, the animals themselves probably won't be able to fully enjoy these photos.
Take dogs for example. They see their owners all the time in photographs. They even recognize their owner's faces. And while dogs are not able to fully understand photographs, and can't recognize things in all photographs, they are still more advanced than any other animal at facial recognition.
Pooches can respond to a number of gestures, such as pointing. In fact, they can do this better than chimpanzees. To put things into perspective, full-grown dogs are said to have the intellectual capabilities of a 3-year-old human, and toddlers can begin retrieving objects based on photographs.

Research has shown that dogs can use photographs to gain information. Let's say there's a photo of a ball. The dog will likely be able to recognize that photo if it is in another room. Even though dogs certainly don't understand all pictures, they recognize items that are familiar to them.
So if you're enjoying these pics, feel free to share the article with your friends and family. If you show it to your pet, however, chances are they will just sniff the screen and move on with their day. Sorry.

The Stingray Photobomb
Recalling how Steve Irwin died, I'd be petrified too. Hope their barbs are clipped.

I hate being that party pooper, especially when no visible harm is being done, but if you look closely you can see someone standing right behind the stingray in both photos...you can even see their hand grabbing onto the stingray in the first one. If the stingray was jumping out of the water onto people on its own, that would be one thing, but in this case it clearly looks like the stingray's being lifted out of the water and onto other people for a picture and/or laughs. Sorry, not cool :/
Thanks for pointing that out. I had not noticed that someone might have held it. I don't see the point of posing a wild animal for a shot. I'd be in awe of simply seeing an animal I'd never seen before.

It's called Stingray City and it's in Grand Cayman, you pay to go and swim with the stingrays. They're not dangerous, all you need do is make sure you shuffle your feet in the sand so you don't step on a tail where the stinger is. We used to run tours there for our cruise ship guests...I've done it several times and it's fun!
These ones appear to be using the humans as entertainment

Poor animal... it's pretty clear it is forced for this by a guy behind... must be some kind of turist attraction.
Not a fan of this kind of exploitation for entertainment!! Let them swim free. If you want a photo, snorkel or scuba into the water and take it in their environment!!!!
They ARE swimming free. Rays are the Dogs of the ocean. They're super food-driven, and if they suspect that the people have food, they'll flock to them and BEG. Jumping up on people is another way for them to explore, beg, and check people out.

These aren't funny, in both photos you can see that someone has grabbed hold of poor ray and put it on their backs
What in the world did I do to deserve this? I must remember it's a right in Albacurky next time, said the ray

I was looking if someone already commented this. I was asking myself the same thing!

Poor rays. They are being pushed onto these people. You can see the man's hand in the first pic and his head behind the ray in the second pic. Wish people wouldn't treat animals as if they were toys or something. They must be terrified.
See the guy behind the stingray? He makes money by having people pay him to put the captive stingray on them for photos. It's not cute. It's animal abuse.
stingrays may look scary, but they have a cute smile on their belly!
You can see the guy and a guy’s hand who picks the stingrays up to put them on the ladies...
Omg look at that water. Where is this? Please please transport me there
Oh God that bottom one. That's my face when I wake up in the morning. The stingray's.
This is animal abuse! There's a guy behind them holding the ray on their backs. They're not happy, the ray's not happy. STOP DOING THIS!
The girl in the first photo might have gotten stung so let’s hope she didn’t
I absolutely Love this Photo and I would Love it if This Happened to ME!
I find it hysterical that all the women are about to cry. Guess that makes me really mean, but...it's just.a stingray ladies!

Well...that was a brilliant list! Only now I want to pet about 90% of the animals here (I'll skip on the tarantula, thank you very much) and that makes me properly frustrated. My cats are getting some serious pets today!
I did too. I really don't enjoy the sad or political ones.
Load More Replies... It's a shame this post was shortened soon after I submitted a photo of my own, no bugger will see it now! I feel cheated.
Don't worry. There are always people like me who view whole lists.
