Many people’s social media feeds are full to the brim with polished, seemingly ‘perfect’ photos of life in the lap of luxury. Even the pet and wildlife photos that you come across look so brilliant that you might sometimes feel like your own photography skills don’t compare. Not by a longshot. And yet, there’s something to be said for pictures where timing is far more important than the technique or composition. Real life might not be as fabulous as a heavily-edited media feed, but it's just as interesting.
Funny, bizarre, and nonsensical—that’s just the tip of the adjective iceberg when we’re talking about the ‘Doggo Taxi’ Instagram account. A niche page of 57.4k followers, it shares hilarious and weird pics of animals at home, on the city streets, and in nature. The photos are brimming with emotions and they provide a fresh lens to see your favorite animals through. And yes, these pictures really do require a lot of extra context because some of them made us do a double take.
As you’re scrolling down, give the animals a gentle boop by clicking on the upvote button, and be sure to let all the Pandas know which pics you loved the most. Not to sway your opinions or anything, but we feel like the pigeon with the leaf stuck on its face is the perfect metaphor for the state of the world in 2022. Don’t you? We’d title it either ‘Resilience’ or ‘Oh Fudge, What Now?’ if we could.
Oh, and in case you want to get your paws on some more nonsensical animal pics, you should definitely take a peek at Bored Panda's previous post about 'Doggo Taxi' over here.

Arf! Come on! Get up you're wasted! I'll drive you home. Arf!
They knew it was the perfect place when they saw the bird hieroglyphs
If that cat were human, he’d have a button down shirt unbuttoned to show off his mass of sexy chest hair, and he’d have on way too many gold chains. You would know immediately that while he seemed a lazy clown, he was really a made man. #MafiaCat
Aw. I used to work in a spay/neuter clinic, and this is what the cats looked like as they were coming out of anesthesia.
There's no dog like Toto...wait...is that Paddington Bear riding the bike? What movie are we in?
When our beagle Georgie came home, I slept the first night with her on the floor in the kitchen, because she was crying and lonely. We made it through the night dry, but later that day my older brother picked her up and she peed on him immediately. Not my dog, he said.
These birds gather flowers and shells and other nice things to decorate their nest, thus pleasing their lady-friend. It's really cute.
Fun fact: birds don't have any capsaicin receptors like mammals do and can eat peppers with impunity. Most wild peppers evolved to have their fruits carried away and eaten by birds, thus ensuring seed dispersal over a wide area. This is why you can put cayenne or pepper flakes in your bird feeder to deter squirrels and the birds aren't bothered at all.
Kangalls are an impressive breed but yikes, so bad for the dog’s back! No matter how giant the breed, even the weight of a toddler is too much.
Someone please point out the nonsensical ones. I guess I just have too much sense.
