How many photos, memes, gifs or videos of animals have made you laugh this week? Funny animals are those that make us laugh by nature, if you know what I mean. We humans are so used to setting standards of beauty and defining what is beautiful and ugly that anything that goes outside the curve we are used to can generate a feeling of estrangement that often ends in a giggle. Better that way. The Animal Expert is not amused by animals being exploited by humans or ridiculed, but we consider that some animals are funny animals by nature, whether by their different appearance, their authentic behavior or the memes they generate. Check out our list of funny animals and try not to smile until the end of this post.
Funny animals
Before flooding the page with funny dogs and cats, let's start with other species that almost always manage to make us smile:
Llamas and alpacas
It is not new that these camelids star in fun memes and videos that they spit on (this is one of their typical characteristics) and are extremely amiable at the same time. Learn more about these cute girls in the PeritoAnimal post that explains the differences between llamas, alpacas, vicuñas and guanacos.
Seal
Focus on memes! These mammals look so nice that they are protagonists in literal and visual memes.
Sheep
Sympathy could be synonymous with these literally cute mammals and record holders, like the sheep Shrek (pictured), which was lost for 6 years and reappeared transformed into a 27 kg ball of wool.
Lemur
Lemurs gained fame after the film Madagascar (Dreamworks, 2015) and never left our hearts. Nowadays they are protagonists of those memes that start with 'Easy there, young man...'.
capybara
Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world and are funny animals for pure charisma and sympathy. It is not uncommon for you to find a bunch of memes with this cub capybara on the internet.
Sloth
It's not enough for the name to be a rag for a lot of puns, the sloth has this cute and unique look and a way to live life in the treetops without any rush, feeding on leaves and appearing in some photos that become memes, like the one below.
bubblefish
Don't laugh at the bubblefish (Psychrolutes marcidus)! It has this distinctive look, inhabits water depths at 4,000 meters and boasts the Ugly Animal Preservation Society's first "ugliest fish in the world" award, but it's also one of the rarest marine animals in the world!
Penguin
Is it possible to walk with more authenticity than a penguin? They are funny animals by nature with that knack of rolling that only they have and the unique scenes of the animal world that these birds star. Long live the penguins!
Goat
There are funny and eccentric animals like goats. They're quiet there for an hour and suddenly they're at the top of a tree in Morocco. It's not fitting!
african pygmy hedgehog
The African pygmy hedgehog is often confused with the porcupine. Friendly and famous for their short spines and large nose, terrestrial hedgehogs attract eyes, generate curiosity and arouse a certain sense of humor in people. The image speaks for itself.
Armadillo Ball (Tricinctus tolypeutes)
It may look like it came straight out of a video game. The armadillo is one of the animals of the Caatinga that has this unmistakable anatomy that allows it to curl up inside its carapace to protect itself. This little animal was also a character in many memes in 2014, when it was chosen as the mascot of the Men's Soccer World Cup.
Pig nose turtle (Carettochelys insculpta)
This species of turtle found in Oceania stands out among its relatives for this characteristic that they nickname and a less hard shell compared to other species of turtles. She is a freshwater turtle, but not fully aquatic.
funny cats
Watching videos of cats and kittens, for example, directly affects our emotional well-being. A 2015 Indiana University Media School Study[1] suggests. With the help of 7,000 people, a survey was carried out in which 37% of the participants declared themselves unquestionably fond of cats, while 76% confessed that they consumed animal videos in general, not just cats. The data obtained indicate that most people felt more energized and motivated after watching the cats.
funny animal videos
On the other hand, the more introverted people claimed that it helped them to interact virtually with their friends and family by sharing videos on the Internet. And if some felt guilty when they watched videos at work or at school, when they finished they felt happier. They all stated that their productivity had increased and that they had a sense of hope and well-being.
Viewing videos of cats positively influences people's emotions and psychological well-being, reducing stress thanks to increased levels of serotonin in the blood. As the researcher herself claims, this preliminary study is not sufficient to determine all the benefits of watching cat videos, but future research may clarify whether they could be used as a tool in therapy.
Now is their time, watch the video and meet some of the most famous funny cats on the internet:
funny dogs
Of course, funny dogs also have their place in the funny animal rankings. The point is, like cats, there is no limit to a dog's grace. Could we say that everyone is cute? just see the 5 funny things dogs do or the 22 rare dog breeds and their attention-grabbing characteristics. Here at PeritoAnimal we can't deny that we have a lot of funny canine favorites, but we agree that the caramel e pooch and its popularity is one of our darlings for all that it represents.
Other funny dog faces that you may have come across in some memes are:
This is Tuna, a mestizo Chihuahua who stars in memes by bringing joy to the world with this unmistakable smile.
Pure sympathy. Maybe psychology explains the attachment that we humans have to pugs and our ease in creating cute memes with them and that flat face.
funny monkeys
Another category of funny animals that is successful on the net are the anthropoid primate species. Perhaps because of the proximity to the human species or simply because of the scenes of pure love that these little animals star in.
Funny monkeys: either for their playful appearance or for their behavior that can surprise!
