50 Animal Pics That Just Don’t Make Any Sense, As Shared On This Instagram Account
Animals aren't always as majestic as wildlife photography contests depict them. Sometimes they look as derpy as me and you. And believe me, I wouldn't be saying such a thing if I didn't have any proof to back it up.
Enter Doggo Taxi. It's an Instagram account that shares random animal photos with no context whatsoever. Like cats helping their owner to puke. Or walruses highjacking a boat. Whatever you can't think of, Doggo Taxi has it. The best part, these pictures are strangely wholesome too. Continue scrolling and check them out yourself.

Of course, it's perfectly fine if every now and then you photograph your pet goofing around. A bigger problem would be if all of your shots came out, say, blurry and overexposed.
But just like we hire photographers to immortalize some of our most important events — such as weddings and birthday anniversaries — we can also book a professional to capture the pretty side of our pets. Or the bond we share with our animals.
"I started off as a wedding & portrait photographer and added pet photography to my business about 10 years ago after realizing there was a need for a specialist producing high-quality images of pets," Phil Lord, a UK-based photographer working around Lancashire, told Bored Panda. "I love animals and in photographing them I believe I had found my niche and dream job."
As with all subjects, there are challenges working with animals. Maybe even more so. Photographers can't have a conversation with them and explain precisely what they're going for.
"The trickiest part of the whole process for me personally is gaining the pets' trust and attention," Phil Lord said.
If the photographer could give pet owners a few pieces of advice to quickly take their images to another level, they would be to "use natural light and get down low and take the pictures from the pet's eye level. Above all, have patience!"
*In David Attenborough's voice* Oh deer, it seems that Mikey have found a new dear friend. What are your thoughts on him?
I had a cat who couldn't sleep at night without his stuffed goat toy. He would lick it and cuddle it
I had a tuxedo cat named Lucy who picked out a small stuffed duck toy when she was a tiny kitten and the toy was bigger than she was. Duckster was her favorite toy her entire life. He would periodically take a swim in the water bowl and have to be put in the dryer. He also needed surgery once in a while, including replacing his French knot (embroidery stitch) eyes. When Lucy died of cancer, age 12, we buried her with her food bowl and Duckster, who was put in her arms. That was 7 years ago now, and I still miss Lucy and her Duckster.

My dog has done this with one of my stuffed hippos

My kitty died 5-6 yrs ago. Her name was Sophie,she was a Black Norwegian Forest Cat. Her lungs got filled with water and she was having respiratory problems.
When I first got my cat, he cuddled a toy cat that was about his size.

"My owner says I'm weird. This from a woman who nailed a garden gnome to a log"
"Yeah, he just sits there and ... watches... Where he's from? Oh I dont know... never really thought about it. Yeah he just sits and judges people from afar. Scares away annoying people though."
King of the world. My girl cat does this but then sometimes she needs help getting down.
"Why the hell are you taking a photo? You've never seen a cat reading a magazine before?"
"When my owners told me I'd have my own bedroom in the new house I expected something...I dunno, cosier"
Yeah, now he knows how sled dogs feel, trying to tow some dead weight hooman. Ha! Payback’s hell, ain’t it?
These are not impossible to explain. They are not even difficult to explain. In fact they are far easier to explain than your use of the word "impossible"!
You realise you can just save the pic instead of doing a screenshot, right??
Load More Replies...Ok. This collection of adorable with a healthy dose of WTF is fantastic. LOVE!
Changing it from "...Impossible To Explain" to "...That Just Don't Make Any Sense" doesn't make any sense--either way is wrong. I can recreate most of these pictures (if I substitute our pets for the wildlife) and explain what & why for all. 😻Liked it well enough otherwise😻
