We’ve all got that awkward friend that never comes up well in photos. They are always captured mid-blink, lurking creepily in the background or just gurning drunkenly in your otherwise perfectly curated party shots.
Guess what? Animals can be those guys too. No matter how hard they try to be photogenic, they just can’t quite pull it off. Bored Panda has compiled a list of otherwise majestic and graceful animals, captured in less than flattering moments. If there were an animal Facebook (Snoutbook?) these clumsy creatures would be bugging their buddies to untag them NOW!

A Derpy Ginger Seal
Gayle Bynum Cardosa 8 years ago
BERNA, the seal is NOT in trouble!!! They often squirrel themselves into little spaces to nap. I have never seen a "ginger seal" with light blue eyes so I don't know what this thing is but as far as the space it's in, it's totally normal for a seal to be in a spot like that for hours at a time.

That red seal pup was from a few years ago. It was found in Russia and was almost blind. It was born with a lack of pigmentation and was shunned by all the other seals. It was taken in by some kind-hearted folks and now lives a happy life being looked after in an aquarium.
