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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

a Russian cat rides in the Moscow metro and probably listens to heavy German rock - ramstein or similar
