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.
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!"

Spiders, like bats, are cool, beneficial to the environment, and underappreciated by hysterical, irrational animals like H. sapiens.
Bats eat nighttime insects and help keep the populations down as they are the natural predators. They're helpful too, you just don't get to see them at their work for two reasons: 1. Because they're black and blend in with the night (in order to better catch their prey and not be eaten themselves by owls and such) and 2. Most normal people are asleep at night.

Have you ever seen pictures of jumping spiders up close? So stinkin' cute <3 I'm actually working on my fear of spiders because most of them are really as harmless as any other bug and don't deserve the hate they get.

Even when someone else kills a spider in the room, I refuse to return! ...everyone knows there are more. Just burn everything down.
Spiders are actually the only animal that death, devil, ghosts and monsters are afraid of.
‘The best way to deal with a spider is to set it on fire’ depends on if you’re in Australia or not 😛
Spiders are useful because they kill household insects. So does a can of bug spray and it doesn't lay eggs in your bodily orifices leaving you to die long and torturous death.
Nuuuuuu spooders are little crawly angels. Day protecc me fwom Mosquitos. Mosquitos are deadly burritos.
My office mate had tarantulas and brought in one of its molts to freak out the guys at work- it still looks like a live tarantula. She kept it next to her keyboard to deter people from using her PC and going through her desk if we weren’t in the office. Problem was I am horribly freaked out by spiders and would forget about it and sometimes use her computer or get in her desk. Lots of near heart attacks! Lol!
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.
