You, like us, from PeritoAnimal, love to see images of animals and can pass hours having fun with photos and videos of them?

That's why we decided to create this article with the best funny animal pictures. Of course the selection was very difficult! Our source of inspiration was the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, a contest held every year to choose the funniest pictures from the animal kingdom. The objective of the contest, promoted by environmental photographers, is to make people all over the planet aware of the importance of preserving all species. Let's check it out?

funny animal pictures

We are all used to seeing beautiful wildlife photos and videos on channels like Discovery Channel, National Geographic, BBC or programs like Globo Reporter. There are thousands of photographers around the world who dedicate their lives to capturing the best moments of animals that we admire in nature.


But between one click and another, unintentionally, these photographers capture funny and/or curious scenes that never received much attention in magazines or specialized websites. It was with this in mind that, in 2015, photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullan decided to create an award for Funny Pictures of Wildlife, in English, Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

Since then, the contest, held annually, entertains and excites everyone with the best funny animal pictures! Below, you will see a selection that the PeritoAnimal team made from the winning animal photos from all years of the contest to date. We took the opportunity to tell the curiosities of many of them. Attention! This photo combo can cause giggles!

1. Oh my God

Like sea otters (Enhydra lutris) do not have much fat, the thermal control of their bodies depends on the thick layer of hair they have. And the ability to repel water not to reduce your body temperature depends on a lot of cleaning, which makes funny pictures like this one possible.


2. Laughter is the best medicine

And you can see that this seal knows that well, isn't it? It is or is not one of the funny animal pictures cutest you've ever seen?

3. Rush hour

Does the hurry is it to get home in time for lunch? This one was chosen the best among animal images from the 2015 global contest.

4. Suspicious family

This family of owls was certainly watching the photographer in this record.


5. I forgot the snack

Was it the snack or did he forget something else, because of his worried face?

6. Warrior of the Fields

In addition to a beautiful pose, the colors of this lizard stand out in the field of this photo, finalist among the best animal images of 2016. The photo was taken in Maharashtra, India. And speaking of color, maybe you might be interested in this other article we have about animals that change color.

7. Hello!

I don't know about you, but seeing this scene I immediately remembered the commercial for a certain brand of soda. One amazing photo in a beautiful setting it would definitely be in our selection of the best animal images.

Recording a polar bear cub saying hello to the camera while its mother takes a nap is a way of drawing attention to the fact that these bears are disappearing from the planet at an alarming rate.

8. Headshot

You can clearly see the face of discontent there. Photographer Tom Stables recorded this image of a "lucky" buffalo in Kenya's Meru National Park. Unfortunately, the African continent's buffalo populations are declining.

9. Say "X"!

This photo, taken by 15-year-old Londoner Thomas Bullivant, demonstrates the happiness of these zebras in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. According to the photographer, he was practically invited to make this record because they are "professional models in nature wanting their pictures taken.” There's no denying that, is there? Of course this should be among the funny animal pictures we'd select.

10. What do you mean???

Would you also be impressed if a colleague of yours turned his neck with such aplomb? This image was recorded in San Simeon, California, United States. Jokes aside, seals have unfortunately suffered from different threats over the past few years. The good news, released in February 2021, is that through conservation, you can save them.

A proof of this is that seals, which were very common on the north coast of France, disappeared there in the 1970s, due to the pressure from local fishermen. Concerned about the situation, the country then began to intensely protect animals with a series of measures.

The result? A series of images of these animals returning to the city of Marck.[1] Nearly 250 wild seals were seen there, a route used by them to fatten up, rest and prepare for the next marine voyages.

11. only joy

Otters usually have night habits, but as we can see, this one took advantage of a bright day to relax and be happy.

12. Escape from the monkeys

This photo could not be left out of our gallery of wild animal images who know very well what to do with human inventions. These monkeys were registered in Indonesia.

13. Smiling rodent

The Gliridae has Eurasia and Africa as its habitat. The record of this smiling rodent (and very cute) was made in Italy. Definitely could not be left out of this list of the best images of animals.

14. Tango

These monitor lizards are part of the group of lizards in which there are poisonous species. Despite the title of the photo, called tango, the famous Argentine dance, certainly this must be a moment of confrontation between the two individuals who earned good clicks.

15. Thinking about a new career

This photo was taken by photographer Roie Galitz in Norway. He explained her backstage on his Instagram profile. He said he was at the scene taking pictures with his team when he was surprised by the approach of this polar bear. Logically, he ran away. The animal checked the equipment, realized it wasn't food and went on his way.

Polar bears are on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) due to their already vulnerable situation on the planet and, according to a study published in 2020 in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, they will be extinct by 2100 if nothing is done.

17. To be or not to be?

The thoughtful look of this Japanese monkey (Beetle monkey) was registered in the country of the sun, more specifically in southern Japan. two layers of fur that end up isolating it and protecting it from possible hypothermia in these icy regions with snow. It's another one of the beautiful animal pictures on our list.

18. No need to scream, dammit

Taken in Croatia, this photo was called "family quarrel". And then, you also identified with this moment of these bee eating birds?

19. Relaxing

A 10-month-old little chimpanzee named Gombe rests next to his mother in Tanzania's Gombe National Park. Despite this beautiful record, chimps are seriously endangered animals, suffering from the destruction of their habitats around the world, the illegal trade in their meat and even because they are sold as exotic pets.

20. Serious talk

Here we can see a fox cub playing with a shrew in Israel. Foxes are omnivorous mammals, that is, they are animals that feed on plants and other animals. Here's a hint, shrew...

21. Smile, you are being photographed

This beautiful European parrotfish or also known as see (Cretan Sparisoma) was photographed in the Canary Islands, Spain. There, the government stipulated a basic rule for preserve the population of these fish: it is only allowed to fish animals that are larger than 20 centimeters. They can reach up to 50 cm in length.

A good joke is a shared game, right? This beautiful record of a monkey of the species Semnopithecus having fun with your family in India is a delight, isn't it? These images of wild animals are definitely heartwarming.

23. Happy Feet Surfer

We couldn't miss the cue to create this title for the photo, but its original name is "Surfing the South Atlantic Style". Amazingly, it is not uncommon to find surfing penguins in nature. Several records and reports have been made of this feat in recent years.

24. The Voice of the Sludge

The perioptalms or mud jumpers, as they are popularly known, have the scientific name Periophthalmus and one of its characteristics is its aggressiveness towards individuals of the same species.

The coast of Australia is home to thousands and thousands of turtles and even has the largest colony of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) of the world. In June 2020, a drone recorded images of more than 60 thousand individuals of this species in the country.[2] Despite the number, these animals are in danger of extinction and are on the list of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
