Let’s admit it; not all nature pictures are created equally. While some deserve to be on the cover of every wildlife magazine others, sadly, didn’t make the cut. However, there exists a unique realm for wildlife photographs that, somehow, eluded the confines of those solemn and humorless award ceremonies. The Facebook group “Crap Wildlife Photography” shares these hilarious images that are amazing in their own ways. While they may not possess the regal grandeur or breathtaking beauty that garners critical acclaim, these photographs hold a far greater appeal to those blessed with a keen sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Just as this individual was about to capture an adorable picture of the duck, it decided to take a plunge beneath the water surface in pursuit of food, exposing its derriere above the waterline. That’s is no way to greet people, Mr. Duck! How would you like it if we stuck our back ends in your face? You wouldn’t like it at all. He must have thought someone said, “What’s up?” To which he replied, “Duck butt.”<\/p>\n

Whoever’s grandmother dedicated the time to meticulously cross-stitch a picture of two goldfinches might be surprised to learn that someone actually attempted to capture the same scene through a window screen, only to yield a disappointingly dreadful outcome. We would have liked it much better if it were cross-stitched because that would make more sense. The picture probably would have been perfect had it not been for the window screen.<\/p>\n

Is it a unanimous consensus among us that geese are the most undesirable avian species in existence? Their behavior tends to be impolite, confrontational, and they demonstrate a proclivity for utilizing the environment as their personal restroom. You don’t even have to get that close to them to be seen as a threat because they will attack you even if you leave them alone. When they have to put up signs that the geese are aggressive, you know it’s a real problem.<\/p>\n

“Everyone, please turn to page 346. Today, we will be discussing the types of cheeses.” Despite being unable to see the direction of the rat’s gaze, it inexplicably gives the impression of peering deep into our very souls. How much additional sustenance could this rodent conceivably require? We have already bestowed upon it a sufficient amount of cheese to sustain its needs for a full hour.<\/p>\n

“Sir, cameras aren’t allowed in this part of the woods. Please put it away until the signs say you can use it again.” This bird displayed an evident desire to approach the photographer in close proximity, ensuring that the photographer was fully aware of its identity and presence. That is one bird we would not want to mess with. We don’t know what animal they were trying to get a picture of or what they were recording, but they probably never expected to see this angry bird face so close to the camera.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This eagle appears to have weathered significant challenges and experiences. If the year 2020 were to be symbolized by an animal, this eagle would be a fitting representation, embodying resilience and the ability to persevere in the face of adversity. This bird is supposed to represent freedom and bravery, but it looks like it would be scared of its own shadow. We don’t know what he was doing before this picture, but it might have been something ill-eagle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The photographer was aware of the presence of raccoons in the tree, yet the nature of their activities remained concealed until the flash unexpectedly illuminated the scene. Boy, was she in for a hilarious shock. It looks like it is playing ‘the floor is lava,’ and it is having a hard time staying off the ground. If it goes any higher, it won’t be able to hold on anymore. If this were a film, its title would aptly be “Mission Impossible: Trash Panda Edition,” and we’re eager to witness it unfold on the big screen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having devoted a grueling 25 minutes crawling through frigid, muddy terrain on a cold winter morning to achieve the ideal angle, the photographer was met with an unexpected turn of events. Just as the shutter was released, the deer, in an amusing twist, emitted a resounding burp. It had been standing majestically that entire time, but it must have known how to ruin the perfect picture. It’s like he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to belch, and he held it in the whole time until he saw the photographer was close enough.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This raccoon seems to possess the air of a bouncer guarding the entrance to an exclusive underground raccoon club. Its demeanor suggests that it would inquire if you’re on the guest list or if you have any connections to gain entry into the happening party. Unless we dress up in a giant raccoon costume, it looks like we won’t be allowed in the trashy club. The drink of the night is a half-eaten apple martini, and you can get any kind of leftover food you want in there. While the company may bear some resemblance to rodents, one can acclimate to such quirks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rabbit appears to be grappling with the notion of hide-and-go-seek. The petite tree must seem enormous to it, leading the rabbit to believe that it could seek refuge by utilizing it as cover. However, we spotted him right away, and we can’t get over his cuteness. He is trying to camouflage into the surroundings, and he must think he is disguised as a rock.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have you ever wondered what a fish sees right before a pelican devours it. Now that you’ve seen the inside of this intimidating mouth, even if you didn’t have initial curiosity, you now have a glimpse of how terrifying it can be for a fish in the vast ocean. We would not want to be a fish, that’s for sure. It’s like looking into a black hole, and we feel like it’s prey.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We need the number for this penguin’s pedicurist because they are doing a phenomenal job. While observing the penguins, the photographer employed a special zoom lens. However, to his surprise, one of the penguins waddled too close, resulting in only capturing this particular moment within the frame. Penguin feet are interesting because they keep the bird from freezing in the cold climates they inhabit.<\/p>\n

Amidst the darkness upon returning home from work, this woman found herself fumbling around and, to her surprise, stumbled over what she believed to be a pipe she had requested her husband to put away. When she went inside to yell at him, he insisted there wasn’t a pipe in the way. Then they turned on the outside light, and she almost had a heart attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sometimes when you think a picture is good, you have to remember to share it with the right audience. Having captured this unsettling photograph, the woman decided to share it on a bird-watching group, hoping that people would recognize it as a joke. However, to her disappointment, nobody seemed to find it humorous. Although you can’t tell what these birds are, and you can barely see them, it is a cool photo.<\/p>\n

“Na na na na na na na Possum Man!” In the most dire of garbage emergencies, they call Possum Man to help save the day. As the distress signal illuminates the night sky, he recognizes the duty to respond and devour all the surplus trash. Such circumstances arise when Batman is preoccupied and unable to attend to these requests. Possums are creepy, and we wouldn’t want them hanging out in our yard.<\/p>\n

The Egret hailing from Egypt is now filled with remorse over its recent actions. The specific cause of this bird’s distress remains elusive, yet its countenance betrays a profound sense of astonishment. Like, “How dare you touch my precious foot! Stay the heck away from me, sir.”<\/p>\n

These two boars should find a more private setting, as their public display of affection in the middle of the road is far from pleasant for onlookers. Their intimate session is causing a major traffic jam and significantly diverting the attention of drivers. Imagine telling your boss you are late because animals were doing it on the road. What did he do to convince her it would be a good idea to try it in the middle of the road?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These “spot the difference” pictures are getting very hard. Upon discovering that their cat had escaped from the house, they promptly installed a trail camera to track her whereabouts. To their surprise, the camera revealed that the feline had befriended an unconventional group in the backyard, characterized by their terrible smell. He blends right in with them, besides their noxious odor.<\/p>\n

The presence of vultures typically signifies the presence of a deceased organism in the vicinity. In the unfortunate event of a medical error, some claim that local vultures are summoned to conceal any evidence that may have resulted from such mistakes. They must be hanging around the hospital just in case someone needs their special help. If you are in the hospital and see vultures in the courtyard, it is probably not a good sign.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to the deer, its decision to play a game of catch proved more challenging than anticipated, particularly when it came to returning the thrown ball. It’s a good thing bucks lose their antlers and regrow them every year; he only has to look like a dork for a couple more months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Among the myriad subjects one could choose to capture at the beach, this particular scene is not what typically comes to mind for most people. After their son took a trip to the beach, they expected to see pictures of him and his friends, the ocean, or even a sunset, but that wasn’t the case for them. The sole photograph captured by the boy featured the footprint of a bird and its accompanying aftermath.<\/p>\n

Did the title make you question your eyesight and prompt you to read it again? Surprisingly, alligators and turtles have developed a fondness for pasta, and they are even willing to share it. They might even have a Lady and the Tramp moment if they start eating the same string of spaghetti. Who knew pasta was the way to solve the problems in the animal kingdom?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Birds have demonstrated their less-than-friendly nature by launching attacks, attempting to devour cameras, and treating the world as their personal restroom. We knew it was only a matter of time before they took over the world. We just didn’t think they would grow to be bigger than humans. Why is that family so calm when a giant seagull is blocking their path?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The photographer’s level of fear during their encounter with the deer remains indiscernible due to the blurriness of the photo. She thought she heard the raccoon that often comes by their front door, so she went to take a photo, but to her surprise, it was a deer knocking on their front door. The shakiness and blurriness of the image intensify its eerie quality.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the inspection of wood duck boxes, a delightful surprise awaited as a small mouse and its companions unexpectedly emerged from the box where they had made their cozy nest. The guy freaked out because he didn’t want the mouse crawling up his pants, but it crawled on the outside of his pants instead. It must have been looking for a warm place to hide, but it wasn’t so successful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This reminds us of something, but we can’t put our finger on it. Anemones, being predatory marine creatures, have a taste for crabs. However, when they retract and close themselves off, their vibrant and captivating, colored arms become hidden from view. They are also home to clownfish and protect them with their stingers, as we saw in Finding Nemo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Hey guys, can you help me off the ground? I fell out of the tree, and my wings are too heavy to flip myself over.” This bird appears to be in need of assistance after attempting a mid-air rendition of jazz hands. It’s difficult to perceive it as a formidable predator when it’s perched amidst a pile of its own fluffy feathers.<\/p>\n

If one bald eagle could symbolize the United States in 2020, it might be this particular one. It seems to have stationed itself near a Taco Bell trashcan, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to scavenge any uneaten tacos discarded by people. That will make anyone feel like this. He looks so unbothered that someone is taking a picture while he is having a bathroom break.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On a small peninsula in Ontario, Canada, the squirrels exhibit a rather unconventional behavior of strolling around au naturel. While it may not be considered appropriate, these carefree creatures pay no mind to who might be watching. The hairlessness is not a defect, but it happens for some reason in this region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, how remarkable! These deer figurines possess an extraordinary resemblance to real-life creatures. Astonishingly, they have been delicately placed upon the fence, right at the entrance of the deer’s beloved meadow. We hope this scene doesn’t end like Bambi with a hunter lurking nearby. Perception is an interesting concept.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is this the drill bird, or did someone captured a blue jay while they were shaking off the morning dew? As the bird flutters and its feathers blend together in a mesmerizing swirl of colors, a peculiar sight unfolds—a colossal eyeball seems to materialize, gazing deeply into the depths of one’s soul. Those who witness the eye will have their fortunes told.<\/p>\n

Take a moment to inspect this picture and see if you can locate the stick bug. It may require a brief pause, as it cunningly camouflages itself within the tree, seamlessly blending into its surroundings. He wanted to be the star of Christmas, so he tried to show that he was the best tree topper they would ever find. The sole predicament lies in the fact that the stick bug doesn’t stand out from the rest of the tree.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Honey, have you seen the dog?” “Yeah, she is sitting outside on the couch.” “Uhh, that’s not our dog!!” In an unusual turn of events, this fox made the conscious choice to settle on their patio furniture for the night, finding it more comfortable than the floor of the forest it typically calls home. They should shoo it away because it will come back if it thinks this is a nice place to hang out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two in holy bird-tramoney.” The photographer, in pursuit of capturing the splendor of these remarkable penguins, unexpectedly encountered what seemed to be a penguin wedding or, intriguingly, a penguin leading a guided tour of the iceberg. Maybe they were taking a trip, and the penguin in the front had enough of their bickering behind him, so he turned around to reprimand them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Those (seal) puppy eyes will make anyone’s heart melt. Seeking a change of scenery, the individual in question grew weary of their seal companions and curiously ventured towards the humans. However, the scene proved uneventful as the humans were merely having a boring conversation, mirroring the perceived dullness of the seal’s own social circle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Someone should create a deer beauty parlor, so this one can get his unibrow waxed. His unibrow, with its “w” shape, gives him a rather silly appearance. Yet, if he were to wax it, he would constantly appear angry, leaving us uncertain which of the two options is worse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do these eyes signify the ominous encounter with a wild creature? Within the shroud of darkness, the sole depiction in the photograph reveals nothing but the penetrating gaze of an unknown animal. Despite the limited evidence, the individual firmly believes that the elusive creature was indeed a bobcat. We wouldn’t want to be standing near a+ bobcat when you can’t figure out where they are.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s a boy! This moose unabashedly flaunts every aspect of its being, leaving us confused as to why it would desire such exposure on camera. Does it lack all sense of decency or shame? The photographer was not prepared to see this much of the moose while observing it. The moose probably got annoyed that someone was taking his picture, so he gave them a side that would make them leave him alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have you ever wondered about the origins of the term “trash pandas” used to refer to raccoons? This endearing moniker stems from their affinity for garbage and their distinctive eye markings resembling those of pandas. Here they are emphasizing their love of garbage, and this one is going to the bottom of the barrel to find something tasty. Someone should make sure it is ok because it has been down there for a while.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This tiny lizard is thoroughly enjoying a life of joy and contentment. One can observe the beaming smile on its face as it gazes at its human companion. It looks like he might have just gotten sick, but that won’t wipe the smile off his little face. He must be proud of his little puke puddle. He’s like, “Look, mom, I made you a present that you have to clean up. Isn’t it cool?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Throughout the day, this lizard has been peeking through the window, seemingly unaware of how impolite such behavior can be. It lacks an understanding of social cues and fails to realize that constant staring is generally discomforting for people. It must be revenge for the concept of zoos; he is turning it around and showing humans how it feels. Hopefully, he doesn’t tap on the window; it might scare the humans doing work inside.<\/p>\n

As this individual strolled along the path from the beach, they had a close call when they nearly stumbled over what appeared to be a rock. To their astonishment, their heart skipped a beat as they soon realized that the supposed rock was, in fact, an elephant seal. It might look like it is fat and sleepy, but it could be hazardous. Ironically, the person was just giving up when they couldn’t find any elephant seals on the beach. The elephant seal appears immensely content upon discovering a cozy spot to rest, free from any disturbances caused by other seals.<\/p>\n

While this couple was engrossed in capturing images of hawks in the meadows, unbeknownst to them, an enraged creature lurked in the grass, remaining unseen. This was the last photo she took before she ran screaming towards the car where her husband was waiting, and he didn’t understand why she was so afraid. The angry badger started chasing her and snarling.<\/p>\n

This squirrel is ready for hibernation 365 days a year. Residing in the yard, this plump fellow indulges in the neighbor’s chicken feed and fearlessly defends his territory, warding off any other animals that dare to encroach upon it. He might be chubby, but he is not going to let someone come and steal his food. They have My 600-Lb Life for humans, but this squirrel should go on the wildlife version.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While engrossed in photographing the imminent bloom of this flower, a minuscule bug seized the opportunity to photobomb the picture, desiring to share the limelight as well. It looks like a little fairy coming to spread fairy dust so the flower will bloom properly.<\/p>\n
