This Facebook Group Is All About “Oof” Wildlife Photos, And They Are So Bad They’re Good
Capturing a breathtaking moment in wildlife is probably as hard as snapping a goofy looking picture of a Tokay gecko minding its own business in the Florida Everglades.
Just think about it—conditions have to be perfect, you gotta stumble on something you don’t often see and in the end the camera still sees things differently than you do, so you gotta compensate for it. It’s hard.
So, it’s only appropriate to celebrate both the good and the bad (and the so bad, it’s good), which the Crappy Wildlife Photography group definitely does.

I would have cried and probably tried to go after it. I've always had a fascination with sharks, my dad had a boat we would use off the Georgia coast, I've seen Tiger sharks and Black Tips, but never a White. I want to see Deep Blue.

I love when they do this. I used to have a cotton tail bunny in my front yard who tried so hard to hide. He always turned into a perfectly spherical bunny ball except for the two rather large ears sticking straight up.

I think that we can conclude from this list that squirrels have excellent, uh, nuts.
