This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Crappy Wildlife Photos That Are So Bad They’re Good (50 New Pics)
Not all pics of nature are meant to go on the cover. And that’s totally fine. All the not-so-fortunate snaps of wildlife have a safe place to go where their author’s lack of skills will be much appreciated.
We’re talking about the widely popular Facebook group called Crap Wildlife Photography where 399.7K members share iconic images in their own very crappy way.
From very out-of-focus photos to the worst timing possible, these awesome photos have surely hit the bottom of the barrel where photography standards used to be. Enjoy the hilarity with the newest batch of crappy goodness from Crap Wildlife Photography, and be sure to check out part 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Previously, Bored Panda reached out to the moderator team of the Crap Wildlife Photography Facebook group and found out more about their widely popular online community.
The representative of the group told us that following Bored Panda’s June article on their group, the community was joined by 18k new members. “Actual join requests were around 26k, but the other 8k people didn’t answer the short joining questionnaire so didn’t become members at that time," they explained.
Meanwhile, the founder Tristan Kennedy said that he created Crap Wildlife Photography after someone from another group, Crap Bird Photography, asked if there was a separate group dedicated to all kinds of wildlife. It sparked an idea in Tristan to create a whole new Facebook group since nothing similar existed at the time.

What’s Your Problem?!
Spent About 25 Minute Slowly Crawling On My Stomach Through Frozen Mud On A Cold Winters Morning, Lining Up The Perfect Shot For The Last Exposure On My Analogue Camera, After Standing Magestically For The Entire Time I Was Crawling, The Second I Take The Shot It Looks Directly At Me And Lets Out The Loudest Burp I've Every Heard
Over the past few years, the group was steadily growing, but the recent surge in new numbers was evoked by Bored Panda featuring a selection of the community’s submissions.
“Numbers increased from about 15,000 in January to about 45,000 at the start of April. The first Bored Panda article triggered a large spike in numbers—our group numbers spiked from about 45,000 to 100,000 in a few days.” In January, a whopping 300,000 new members joined and Crap Wildlife Photography became somewhat of a household name for poor photos featuring nature and/or animals.
The group’s success has to do with the fact that it’s one of the very few online communities that celebrate all the very bad efforts in photography. “The 'good' photo groups aren't interested in bad photography, of course, so it gives people somewhere to share their lesser-quality photos and have a laugh at themselves,” Tristan explained.

I Nearly Bumped Into This Blubbery Rock Yesterday And Let Me Tell You, When My Wife Pointed Out What It Was I Felt Very Close To Death. The Irony Is That We Had Just Given Up Spotting Any Elephant Seals After A Long Beach Walk Lol
You used to be able to go up and touch the elephant seals at Año Nuevo beach, or so I heard. There's a photo somewhere of my dad beside a huge male elephant seal that was taken before I was born.
No they sun themselves but you don’t want to be in their way. That thing probably won’t bother you but if he wanted to he could kill you. They stink too. Bad. I still love ‘em.

Death? Elephant seals don't care about humans, as long as you don't mess with them. At Piedras Blancas Lighthouse beach, there are hundreds who show up every weekend to sun, and you can walk among them. Just don't bother them.
What happens after some serious carbs at X'mas dinner. You just gotta sleep it off.
This Was The Last Photo I Took Before I Was Chased Across A Hilly Field, Screaming And Running As Fast As My Legs Could Carry Me
All I had wanted was a closer hawk photo. I did not see this beast in the grass. My husband was in the car on the side of the road, and he responded to my screams by rolling the windows up as I barreled towards him in superhuman flight whilst the badger snarled and gained on me. He thought it was bees or hornets (and left me for dead which I shan’t forget), but no. It was a very large and very angry member of the Mustelid family.

Carp Wildlife Photography, No Pun Intended
A Photo I Took Of One Of The Many Million Wild Deer In Nara, Japan.
These deer are feisty. They bow the traditional Japanese greeting to woo you in to giving them deer cookies. Then after the polite greeting they just attack en masse, biting your arse, stealing your tourist map, and making it impossibly difficult to get any decent photos of them in the beautiful surroundings. So I ended up with many shots like this
My Dog: Fren? Me: No, Not Friend. My Dog: May Be Shy Fren. I Watch. Me: Facepalm
I'm thinkin' that the dog is a pussycat. + the deer could become a frien' if some grain were to be offered !

So I Had A Pet Door..... How Many Other People Can Say They Had A Raccoon Come In And Sleep On Their Couch For Days With Three Cats And Share Food Bowl. Then Had To Get Rid Of Couches Cause Raccoon Kept Peeing On It
We rehabbed a hawk last year. His wing was hurt, but not bad. Just couldn't fly for a few days. My husband would catch mice in the sun room and get on the roof and throw the mice to it, so when it got hurt it came to our front door. I just opened front door one morning for my son to get to the bus and the hawk was jyst there. We let it in and we even held it on on our laps. Kept it in sun room at night. after a few days we let it out. Tried to fly and couldn't so it walked back into the sun room. Next day tried it again and he flew around but stayed close. That day we found a pregnant stray cat in our yard. She had a small hole in her neck and some fur tufts missing. We think they had fought each other and the bird got its wing messed up from the cat. We kept mama cat and her kitties.
