Most of us love watching animals. They can bring us endless hours of enjoyment, whether they are our pets or wild animals.
Perhaps itās their general lack of inhibitions. We humans are so caught up in worrying about what others think of us, weāre always exercising some kind of restraint.
Animals know no such restraint. If they feel like being wild and crazy or being complete derps, they just are.
So I share with you 50 times animals were just animals. Watch and enjoy.
PS. Some of the stills are from videos, so be sure to check the sources links for these crazy animals in their full glory!
1. If only
This poor kitty is on a diet. And his cruel owner eats in front of him. Kitty likes to pretend heās taking a bite too.
2. Ecstasy or insanity
This pupper is clearly losing his mind over his find. What heās found is a clam in the sand and heās going crazy. I doubt that poor clam is enjoying the exuberance.
3. Help me!
This poor kitty locked itself outside. Itās now activated the video doorbell and is calling for help.
4. Damn thatās cold!
Brain freeze. Youāve probably felt it a time or two. And from the looks of this coyote drinking from a frozen water trough, the affect is the same.
5. Someone isnāt surprised
Iām guessing this cat made a habit of either trying to eat the letters on the sing or rearrange them. Maybe theyāre covered in catnip.
6. Itās eyes!
That thing looks crazed. And I understand goats can do a lot of damage, so I hope they were able to replace that before it lost its grip on whatever sanity goats have.
7. Is he still watching?
Someone spotted this guy on their way to work. Flaunting his moves in a shop window.
8. At least something is moving
Not exactly a ball of energy, is he? But apparently he has enough strength to eat some snow.
9. Mixed messages
The squinty, evil eye. The goofy, stuck out tongue. Put it together and you have complete and utter derp.
10. Dogs are vicious creatures
Just look at how scary this guy is. Oh, wait! Itās clearly all an act. They are just big floof balls when they see a cookie. So easily tamed.
11. Weāre home!
This is sweet and hysterical at the same time. Those dogs are so happy to be back in their homes. And they donāt care who is watching!
12. Did I hear what I think I heard?
Just in case theyāre teasing me Iāll just slide over. Thereās no sense in getting all excited over nothing, right?
13. Iāll just hold on to this
This guy ate his share of popcorn. Heās saved his share too, judging by his cheeks. Now they have to worry about where he will hide it in the house.
14. Is it supposed to be so difficult?
All I want to do is get something to eat. Why have they set up this obstacle course? Oh good. Thereās mom.
15. This is my spot
First, isnāt that cat rather large? Itās funny that it wonāt move so someone could vacuum around it, but perhaps not so funny. That cat looks like it needs some exercise. But Iām not a cat person, so I could be wrong.
16. Calisthenics
In contrast to the last post we have this cat. Itās got some crazy version of chin-ups going on, but at least itās moving!
17. Iāll have what heās having
This is just hilarious. Cuddled up with dad on the couch having a snack. And holding his own food like a good, big boy!
18. I got this
Paws are spread wide, giving me all the support I need. Once I clear that small mountain, I will be home. Here we goā¦ oh, nooooo!
19. What are you talking about?
Iām trying to help you! You keep complaining about trying to keep up with everything now that youāre working from home. Now youāre talking about disciplinary actions? This is your fault for rushing through the training process.
20. Thatās just mean!
That kind of looks like fingers in the water. And that poor doggo is cautiously investigating. Must be stealthyā¦ Arrgghhh! I hope he paid his hooman back.
21. Keep that thing away from me!
Why is my hooman tormenting me with that thing? And what is it? Some kind of giant bug? Attack. Sniff. Iām going to take it and kill it.
22. Does this count?
I heard that some people think itās rude to put your feet up on the furniture. Thatās so easy for those 2-legged hoomans, but for me? At least Iām trying.
23. Taste the rainbow!
Look at this explosion of color on the wall. What could it be? And is it something I can eat? Letās taste!
24. To the left, to the left
I bet their heads are spinning and theyāre starting to get dizzy. And you have to wonder how long this went on for. So cute!
25. Play fetch!
Please? Can we play fetch? You just need to throw thatāsponge. His owner says he had developed a fetch addiction, so they hid his tennis ball. Heās substituted with a sponge.
26. You canāt see me
It shouldnāt really count if you canāt see them, right? This guy isnāt allowed on the sofa and knows it. So he tries for a little subterfuge. Sneaky puppy.
27. Food hangover
Many of us have had this happen to us. Itās the holidays, a celebration of some sort, or weāve just been binge eating for no reason. Then the food hangover sets in. This guy is suffering from a snack hangover.
28. Hysterical, but why?
Apparently, this dog does this every time she crosses the street. Her owner is bundled up, so itās not hot pavement. Thereās either a good reason, or she is just a big goofus.
29. Play time!
Did you wrestle with your siblings? This is what this reminds me of. Of course, my siblings and I had a bit more coordination than this. This is classic golden, derpiness.
30. Keeps your eyes on the prize
At least in terms of that part of the equation, this little guy is a complete winner. Even when he was tumbling back to the ground after his miss, his eyes never left that cookie. I hope he finally got to eat it.
31. Iām afraid to look away
I have no idea what that is! It has me somewhat mesmerized. And Iām so afraid of it, Iām afraid to turn my back on it.
32. Great Derp
Ah, Great Dane. Such regal, majestic dogs. Know for their calm natures but growing into those legs can be a challenge.
33. Your tax dollars at work
Iām sure this dog has gone through rigorous training. He has a very important job as airport security! And it seems it canāt find its tail.
34. Oh, tennis ballā¦
I adore you. Let me gaze upon you. I will worship and love you forever, and no one will replace you. I will treat you with the utmost care andā¦ oh, crap. I dropped you!
35. Wait for it!
This dog is hysterical. First, I have Jaws music in my head as we progress up the stores, having no idea what to expect at the top. And then that face!
36. What can I say?
If you have any experience with boxers, youāre likely not surprised here. The poor thing is completely confused, even when the ball is visible again.
37. Summer fun!
This reminds me of water and sprinkler fights as kids. But I donāt think we had half as much fun as they two seem to be having.
38. What can it see?
Something has that cat spooked. And I donāt think I would be sitting there recording it. I would be worried about what it can see that I canāt. And considering hiding under the table with it.
39. Pole dancing
Poor thing. I bet that was a very private moment. You donāt want people seeing your routine until youāve perfected it. Someone is lucky she didnāt catch them recording it.
40. Questionable motor skills
This poor husky needs to work on its gross motor skills. Thatās motor skill that involve large muscle groups like the legs. His are just flailing all over the place.
41. This is so human!
Who of us hasnāt taken a tumble like this? Youāre totally shamed and trying your best to be nonchalant while ignoring your friends who feel they need to discuss your slip and fall with you.
42. I wasnāt doing anything
Followed by, āIt wasnāt me!ā Sometimes dogs are just like kids. And apparently when caught, they figure if they move fast enough you really wonāt see them in the act.
43. Caught it!
And thatās all the matters, right? How cares that he almost broke a hip, he is still trilled and likely ready to go again.
44. Is that chicken?
Speaking of derp, look at his eyes! There, from across the room, he clearly caught the scent of something the more than intrigued him.
45. Moving in!
I wish I could move like that. Be so flexible and rubber-like. And after cramming in there, they both come out and stand at attention for the camera. So cute.
46. Oh, wellā¦
I know Iām not supposed to be in this room, but since Iāve slunk my way in, woohoo! And Iāma gonna rub myself all over the carpet. Maybe if I smell like that noisy thing, they will pay attention to me again.
47. The anti-Zen
I wonder if this dog belongs the Zen master? Either way, those boys are all so orderly and subdued while there is the equivalent of a broken windup toy behind them.
48. Heās hiding
This reminds me of when youāre a kid and you put your finger in front of your face and it blocked whoever was in front of you. And you said, āYou canāt see me.ā This guy thinks he is hiding behind the curtains.
49. This is just unbelievable
This pupper wants its ears cleaned. Look at it lying down and presenting an ear. And then going and getting the swab. So sweet!
50. Now you understand
Those days I used to come home from work and tell you all about my hellishly boring job. Now I have to do it at home right in front of you, and even you canāt stay awake!
