Dave Releases 30 Animal ‘Guides’ And They’re So Ridiculous, They’re Hilarious
The animal kingdom is huge and unless you're my colleague, Justė, who's like a walking encyclopedia (seriously, the woman knows everything, point to a random bug on the ground and she'll tell you all about its ancestors a million years ago), it's impossible to know everything about it. So, to broaden your understanding of the beings we share Earth with, UK TV channel Dave launched an online campaign titled What the bloody hell is a ... ?
During it, the channel shared pictures of various wild animals along with some of their defining characteristics. And yes, the descriptions and the facts about animals aren't completely legit. Well, actually, they're almost pure fiction. But they're so ridiculous, they're kinda genius. Continue scrolling down to the animal trivia and you'll understand what I mean.

Launched in 1998, Dave uses its social media to create absolute nonsense. Like their animal guides. "It's always good to learn new things about the natural world, even if the fun facts aren't always 100% true," a Dave spokesperson told Bored Panda.
Usually, the channel's social media team comes up with the ideas for such campaigns. "We use our Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter to promote our TV shows, but we also like to make content to make our followers laugh as they are checking their newsfeeds!" the spokesperson said.
You may want them to p**s off, but usually, when it comes to humans, seagulls p**s (or sh!t) on you.
Flying beach rat, flying city rat. Which view do you want while a bird is pissing you off?

My school is close to the sea so whenever we go out for lunch they ATACK
Just the other day I saw a seagull eating a recently dead sparrow (probably killed it herself)
Seagulls are the rats of the sky. They swoop in and take food right out of a person's hand. They fight with each other and make a lot of noise. They will POOP on you, your car, your dog and everything else.
There isn't really a scheme behind how the channel communicates with their viewers online as they usually simply go with the flow. "We just see how we are feeling that day, to be honest! It could be something in the news or just something that springs to mind, there is no rhyme or reason to it!"

God save the queens, she's our only hope. I mean, we can't use tea, it'd be against our nature, not proper at all!
how many times have you tried? any less then 57 and you're bound to fail...
The oldest dolphin ever died. I can't wrap my head around what this means.
I love the brilliantly bizarre British sense of humour used to write these. They sound like drunk people sat in the pub on a wet bank holiday trying to hold a serious discussion after too many pints!
This is the BEST Bored Panda post EVER! I mean, EVER! I can't stop laughing! Can I get these in a book?!
The bloody hell, all those animals are egregiously exploited and massacred to extinction ...and that's not funny.
