No one is arguing that animals are a bunch of weirdos. Cats are notorious for defying physics with their bungee-jumps across the room, sloths trek to the toilet, and crocodiles are known for crying their eyes out. But these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to animals acting crazy.
Don’t believe me? Here at Bored Panda, we collected some of the most peculiar bits of photographic evidence that prove we ain’t lying. The collection below will feature some of the most ‘seriously?’ animal and wildlife pictures that beg for an explanation.
Like, how on earth that seagull is riding a fish, and what was that ginger whisker thinking while levitating on a car door?

Load More Replies...Weird, someone’s taking pictures of people taking pictures, wonder how long this goes on for.
It’s pretty common in wildlife photography to have more than one cameraperson. Animals are pretty unpredictable, and if you just have one guy running around with a camera, you’re going to miss things. That being said, I do like the idea of infinite cameramen and foxes, forever taking photos.
Load More Replies...Awww! I love this one, would love to have a bond with an animal like that.
Dances with fawns. Also, one cat is doing the chubby checker twist, I love it!
Omg the other one is doing the mashed potato 😂 it couldn't be more perfect!
Load More Replies...The facts that none of the animals throw a shadow in combination with the paint-like cutout lines around them might give a little hint about how to explain this photo. How can this crap be #1 in this list?
Because no matter its origins, it makes us smile, and smiles are worth a little artistic license.

funny and strange isn't it? strange how we all feel about it and love it
Load More Replies...This looks majorly photoshop. If you enlarge the pic of the cat it has a photoshopped face on it. This is so obviously fake.

Lmao the original doesn’t have the Harry Potter costumes, this makes it even better!
You mean Dobby, somehow resurrected, with Harry, who has sneaked off to the Forbidden Forest, and is having a barbecue beside the Great Lake in his old Gryffindor jumper and scarf, with his favorite elf?
Why is this here?!? This can absolutely be explained and it is GLORIOUS
It’s no secret that most animals are a bunch of weirdos. But cats deserve the crown in ensued bizzarity, thanks to their goofy temper and unpredictable demeanor. Previously, Bored Panda talked to Ingrid Johnson, the certified cat behavior consultant who runs “Fundamentally Feline,” to find out the expert-proved reasons why cats do such weird stuff.
Ingrid said that it's due to the fact that their “bodies are extremely flexible and they are naturally curious yet cautious, so they get themselves into precarious situations quite readily. Cats also like to be up high, which is why you see the cat in the shower caddy.”Ingrid also said that much of feline behavior that looks funny and goofy to us comes from their natural instincts. “Cats like small, confined spaces. They like to hide and feel safe. That is why we often see them squished into seemingly uncomfortable spots.”
This is why they like cardboard boxes: because cardboard can actually assist a cat in maintaining their "thermal neutral zone." The cat behaviorist explained further: “since cardboard is insulating, it helps cats maintain their body temperature of 100-102.5 degrees easily without having to expel much energy." So, it turns out even the weirdest quirks have some kind of explanation.
I JUST realized that they're doing a photoshoot and AREN'T creepy weirdos with moving dolls.

You know how yawns are contagious? Did you know that contagion crosses species? If my cat is looking at me when I yawn, most of the time my cat will yawn not long after. And once in a while it happens the other way around.
Ahahaha his expression in the end, I could stop laughing. Sorry!
Yawning is addictive to another person! Did that once at work and had the whole line yawning within 5 minutes! Won my bet!
You tell anyone I have a cat and I will really give you the evil eye.
What's fascinating is to think that this goose is fairly clever enough to be wondering what happened to this poor other goose, and feel sorry about it.

poor things got his/her claws stuck :( (still, NEVER declaw your cats, people, even if they get stuck on occasion. Declawing can lead to painful arthiritis and problems for your kitty :( )
Exactly right. Declawing ought to be illegal everywhere. What you SHOULD do is get a proper nail-clipper (not a human-style one for our flat nails, but a special pet nail clipper for cylindrical claws) and trim kitty's nails on a regular basis. Kitty may squirm and yowl and act like you're murdering him, so wrap him up into a purrito with a big towel, and pull out one foot at a time. Eventually, if you're lucky, he'll get used to it.

Load More Replies...Tiger was pregnant, babies all died at birth, tiger was depressed. Piglets mom died at birth - they tried a thing and it worked!
Load More Replies...Tigress has no memory of that one night stand, swears off drinking.
This is usually done when a tiger has lost her cubs, due to still birth. The cub's skins are strapped to the piglets so that the tiger can smell her cub's scent, and she is able to feed and wean them. It helps the tiger to stop her milk naturally and also helps prevent her pining away for the lost cubs. It is a kindness.
This is Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand. They regularly swap tiger cubs and piglets to be raised by the other species. It’s a publicity stunt for the public. The Animal Welfare Institute reported in 2004 that the zoo had been using tigers and elephants in circus shows, including tigers leaping through rings of fire, walking across a double tightrope, parading around a ring on hind legs, and riding on horseback. AWI reported "potentially dangerous human-tiger and human-elephant close interaction", "bizarre multi-species enclosures", tigers being struck with steel poles by trainers and implications that tigers were being bred for export to China.
"I will NOT eat the babies!" "I will NOT eat the babies!" "I will NOT eat the babies!"
actually i can explain this one; the tiger had babies but they died i think and she got depressed so they put some things on the pigs and sent them in cus their mom either died or abandoned them
When her litter died and she was depressed, these piglets brought her through.

Load More Replies...kitty is probably pissed because of the bag (I use one for cat transport) and the headphones may be playing soft ambient sounds as to block out the loud noises of the subway. its a snapshot of one moment....so quick to assume the worse
Cats don't want "soft ambient sounds" in their ears in subways, trust me. How do we know how cats' ears receive sound from headphones? They hear very differently than humans. This might be severely damaging its hearing.
Load More Replies...If the cat didn't like the earphones all it has to do is shake its head. Anyone who has given cats medicated ear drops knows this.
Depends on how far in there the bud has been shoved. Cat ears are huge openings. They’re also filthy, so I hope he cleans it before putting it back in his own ear.
Load More Replies...Maybe they're using the earphones as earplugs to block out noise? Not that I would ever advocate sticking anything in a cat's ears...
A dreadful thing to do to a cat the ears are so sensitive and it cant get to pull them out ..I hope there was no sound, but looking at ht idiot who did this I am sure there was painfully damaging the poor cats hearing.
