These Animal Fails Prove That We All Mess Up Sometimes
In many ways, animals are just like us. Yeah, they might be furry or scaly or covered in feathers, but deep down, they're just as awkward and embarrassing as we are.
We all find ourselves in uncomfortable situations from time to time. Whether you fall flat on your face in public or you try to make a jump and end up short of your goal, we know how it feels to fail and apparently, animals do too. Keep reading to see some of the most hilarious animal fails on the internet. The hedgehog will have you cracking up!
An Awkward Smooch
Has anybody ever had a good first kiss? If you've never kissed anybody before, how are you supposed to know what to do? Where to you put your hands? How much tongue is too much?
This bird looks like he went in for a kiss and ended up beak-first in a whole lot of trouble. Okay, so maybe this is a picture of a mother bird feeding her baby. It still looks like an awkward kiss to us.
A Real Cat Burglar
Now, this is a picture of a series of unfortunate events. This little boy is crying because he can't find his lollypop. He had a delicious red heart-shaped lollipop, and now it's nowhere to be found.
Hey, we found it. There it is attached to his cat. Do you think that the cat took the lollipop on purpose? Probably not. He doesn't look so happy about the fact that it's now stuck to his fur.
Just A Bite
This dog must not have eaten in forever for it to be this greedy or deprived of food. It's just a picture, pup! In any event, animals can be quite funny if you pay attention to them or catch them in a funny act.
Thankfully for you, we have compiled numerous photos of animal fails. We bet you will not be able to get through the whole thing without laughing at least a few times.
Panda Overboard
In can be hard to corral a group of more than ten baby pandas. One of those pandas is bound to get separated from the group. These babies don't look like they're very mobile yet, but still, one little guy managed to make his way to the edge of this platform and tumble overboard.
Imagine how much fun photoshop artists could have with that big green platform. We have some ideas already. These guys are so cute!
Thanks For That
Sometimes animals can strike up rather touching interspecies relationships. We've seen a mother dog adopt a litter of kittens. We've seen little fish clean the gunk off of bigger fish. This, well, we're not sure who is benefiting from this situation.
Pooping on your friend is just disrespectful. Come on, bird, do you have to do your business right there on this cow's head? The cow does not look impressed. This wasn't the kind of friendship he signed up for.
Caught Mid-Game
This cat looks like his younger brother just asked him if he could have a turn on the Gameboy. If he says no, little bro is going to run to mom and then things are going to get ugly. If he says yes, little bro is going to hog the game for hours. The only appropriate response? "Yeah, sure, as soon as I finish this level." "
Little does little bro know that this level could take hours to beat.
Hard Core Parkour!
This cat has got a lot of confidence. He really believes that he can make that jump. Sorry to break it to you, kitty, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Cats are known for always landing on their feet, so maybe this little cat will fall gracefully. He is definitely going to fall, though. Is he hoping to land on the roof? Because it's icy out there and he definitely didn't take off at the right angle.
Hanging On For Dear Life
Do you know that classic poster of a cat hanging onto a branch with the caption "hang in there?" Well, this is the sequel to that poster. We're not sure how this lizard ended up in this situation, but we do know that he better hang on to that kitty's nose if he wants to survive.
How is that cat so cool with a lizard literally biting his nose? That can't be comfortable. He just looks so chill.
You Can Fly, You Know
This parrot tried to climb down the stairs and ended up falling flat on her face. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Who hasn't fallen down a flight of stairs at some point? It's basically a right of passage. The thing is, it's a human right of passage. Humans can't just flaw their wings and end up on the last step.
Does this parrot know that she can fly? Why didn't she just fly down the whole flight of stairs? It's called a "flight" of stairs for a reason.
A Stunt Raccoon
Raccoons already sort of look like superheroes because of the black mask markings on their faces. They look like they have .a secret identity to conceal. This raccoon looks even more like a superhero as he leaps headfirst off of this very tall tree.
We hope this raccoon had some stunt training because this is not going to be an easy descent. Well, good luck little raccoon. Bombs away! This is some mission impossible style stuntwork.
That's One Thicc Squirrel
This squirrel was beefing himself up for the winter. The thing is, he's now too thicc to fit into his favorite tree hole. Sorry, squirrel, you're going to have to find somewhere else to snooze this snowy season. Those hips don't lie, and right now they're saying, "find us a bigger burrow."
It's a good thing being thicc is trendy at the moment. This chubby squirrel is going to be the talk of the town.
That's Not A Good Situation
"I'll just take a nap here until they get home. I should be fine. Oh is that the garage? I better move, but I'm too comfortable so I hope they stop the machine. Oh no, they are not stopping the machine."
Cats are unbelievably flexible and have a high amount of dexterity for such soft and small animals. In this cat's case, it looks like none of those skills were used as it got caught in this messy situation that looked a lot worse than it was. Luckily, neighbors spotted the kitty (named Bella) and the police were able to rescue her.
Sleeping On The Job
This is either a mean joke or one of the best animal fails of all time. We will go with the latter because the look on this little guy's face is priceless. The toilet paper roll must have been something he was eyeing because it looks like he dove right in as soon is it became free of toilet paper.
"Yes, the roll is now available for me to play with! Let's see what I can do with this. Oh, this is interesting, my head can fit inside of it! Wait, my arms, I can't use my arms! What am I going to do?"
Sliding Into Trouble
"This slide looks fun! No one is around to enjoy it with me or take a picture for zoo bulletin board so I guess I'll go down by myself. Oh my gosh, this is terrifying, someone please help! Well, I'm never doing that again."
Here we see a slide and a panda doing a headstand. The only feasible explanation is that the panda went down the slide headfirst and attempted to jump off before the end because it was too scary for him or her. Let us just put ourselves in the shoes (or fur) of the panda to imagine what he or she was thinking.
Alone In The World
"Finally, I have arrived! And I got here before everyone else but I wonder what is taking them so long? They said fly West first before heading South, didn't they? I wonder why there isn't much water here. That person is taking a picture of me and I think I'm lost."
This is rather strange seeing just one single goose in the middle of the parking lot on a slither of water. Where are the rest of her friends and why is she so calm about the whole thing? A lot of questions need to be asked here but let's just see what the goose was thinking.
Sliding Into 2020 Like...
Off into the distance, there was a majestic deer. A deer that many have heard about but few have actually seen. This deer was said to be a reject from The North Pole and ended up in the woods. What was so majestic about this deer is that it was able to sit on its bottom just like a human can.
"Looks like I have to cross this ice to get to my destination. I hope it's safe. Well, besides from being ridiculously cold it is not so bad. Oh my goodness, help! Boy, I hope no one got a glimpse of that."
A True Stalemate
In this scenario, we hope that the prey is the snake and not the other way around. That would be one bold snake if so. This bird was hungry and happened to choose the feistiest snake in the field. There is one other theory and that is the snake has some sort of control over the bird and is making it travel long distances for it.
"Okay I'll wait until it gets in perfect range then I shall lunge onto its beak. Finally, I can now travel to see my long lost brother at Imagination Lake. I hope he is ready for my presence."
Hang In There
"Why did they clip my claws again? I'm not going to scratch anybody anymore. How am I supposed to climb my favorite tree now? It's going to be so much harder. Hey, why are you playing like that? Help me up, please stop! Someone help me, this is it!"
This cat is looking like these are the last moments it will have on this earth because she's on her last life. Possibly, they wasted her past eight lives trying to cross the street chasing the neighborhood mouse and getting hit by a car. Now as she faces her imminent doom, the only thing to do is cry for dear life.
How Is He Going To Get Out Of This One?
"The Turtles said they would have pizza for me and how surprising, they were nowhere to be found when I get there. I'm never going back again. Oh no, what is happening? How did I get in here! Now I can't get out!"
Another raccoon here and this one is in a funny situation. Raccoons are known to be nosy and adventurous, and you might just find one in your house digging through your trash one night. How they get in your house is a question best saved for another day. How this raccoon ended up stuck with his head looking like it is about to be chopped off can only be explained one way.
A Very Angry Kitty
"Why did you leave me out here if you knew that it was going to rain?! You better let me in right meow! Are you taking- seriously, are you taking a photo right now?!? That's it. I will get revenge.
It's common knowledge that cats don't like getting wet, so when this kitty was stuck outside during a downpour of rain, he was understandably upset. Instead of letting him inside right away, the owner decided to take a photo of the cat, looking like he's about ready to kill someone for leaving him outside.
A Lettuce Hat
"Well, that's the last time I go to play at the octopuses' garden. I hate vegetables and now I have one over my face, my arms are too short, and I don't have any thumbs. Darn you evolution!"
This manatee clearly dislikes his greens. Like any small child, it would rather play with its vegetables than eat them. In this case, this manatee feels that wearing this lettuce as a hat is a more practical use for it rather than eating it.
Too Thicc For His Cage
"Nooooo! My favorite piece of food fell into the dark hole of despair! It's okay, I got this, I just need to reach a little bit further...uh oh. I'm stuck. Hello? Is there anybody there? Oh no, I think he left for school already."
What we have here is a classic case of an animal that doesn't fully grasp its own size. Yes, you are small little hamster, but maybe you should log in some more time on the wheel or inside of the ball if you ever want to fit into that hole.
He's Just Going To Sit Down For A Minute
"Alright, this is it, I've been waiting for this eclipse for months. I even made a device that I saw on YouTube so I can see it better. I'm pretty sure I nailed it. Oh...wait...ouch...it burnnns! Help! I can't get it off!"
It's not every day that you get to see a hedgehog sitting upright like a human, so today is your lucky day. Our little spiky friend looks as though he has given up completely, accepted his fate, and now has nothing but time on his hands.
Go Home, Panda, You're Drunk
"Hey mom! Mom! Look at me I'm upside down! Whoa, everything looks crazy like this... Uh oh, I'm getting dizzy. I can't get back upright. I knew I shouldn't have skipped abs yesterday."
Is this fluffy guy in trouble, or is he having the time of his life? I guess we'll never truly know. For this panda, his world was literally turned upside down and it appears that he hasn't even realized it yet.
This Dog Is Confused
"Is this on? Son? Can you hear me? I don't think it's working, I can't see anything. Hang on, let me turn it around. Oh, wow! I scared myself."
Rarely are the words technology and dogs ever used in the same sentence. However, it appears that this dog has stumbled upon a smart phone and opened up the front facing camera. Yes, it looks like a 50-year old man's Facebook profile picture, but that's an undeniably good looking dog.
A Dog Or A Cup Holder?
"I know I told myself I wouldn't let him do this anymore. It's downright humiliating. But every time he comes back he gives me one of those treats. Those things are like crack. Okay, THIS is the last time."
You know what they say, dog is man's best friend. They greet you when you come home, they keep you company, you can use them as a pillow, and hey, if you really need to, you can put your coffee on their head and come back to it later.
A Tired Pup
"Oh look over there! This smells good! What was that? There's so much to do and explore! I'm just going to run in circles. 1,2,3,4,5,6 circles!...I need a nap. This looks like a good spot.
We've all been there, had a day that was so long that you physically can't even make it to the bed. This pup surely tuckered himself out after a long day on gnawing on chair legs and peeing in the house. It's a ruff life.
That's Not Food
"Ah ha! I finally caught it! Everyone said that I'd never be able to do it, but look at me now. Hmmm, what now? Uh oh, I'm stuck inside of my own mouth. Well this is embarrassing."
As if snakes weren't mysterious enough, this one is eating itself. But who knows, maybe it's a biological thing, maybe it's not. Either way, better to have the snake eating itself than eating me.
It Was A Rough Night
"Oh, my head. How did I end up on the ground? Need water, right now. I can't believe you guys talked me into coming over last night. I know I've said it before but I'm actually never drinking again. Hey! Who put nail polish on my whiskers!"
It looks as though this feline cut loose with the boys last night. He's in for a rude awakening with probably no idea how he ended up on the ground or anything that happened the night before for that matter.
Rocking Out
Whoever said that dogs hate loud noises has clever never met this dog. He's in the zone, volume all the way up to 10, having the time of his life. Definitely do not throw off this pups groove or he'll make sure you never find your right shoe.
"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you If I could just hold you, tonight."
Get A Job
"Oh man, what a day. I'm just going to put my feet up for a few minutes... Hey honey! Let me know when it's time for me to throw the steaks on the grill. Also, did you delete my recording of Chopped?!"
This cat sure has mastered the art of chilling out. Nothing like clicking on the TV and drinking a cold one after a long day of doing nothing. Don't worry, he'll start looking for a job tomorrow, he swears.
He's Not Happy
"What?! What do you mean a meteor is about to hit earth? You drop this on me when I'm all wet? This is your fault! I told you that I can bathe myself, I do it every single day! Now I'm going to die like this, wet and ugly. Thanks, pal."
On top of being soaking wet, which is clearly this cat's worst nightmare, it looks like he was just told that a meteor is about to strike earth in the next 30 seconds. An all around bad day for this miserable little guy.
Considering His Options
"Yes, yes, that's it, just a little bit closer. C'mon just few more steps and I'll finally have caught you. They'll never even suspect it was me, no of course they won't. I'm just the cute family cat, or at least that's what they think."
Plain and simple, this cat looks like it's up to no good. I would hate to be this cat's owner, and by the looks of it, they're going to wish they weren't either. By the way he's rubbing his paws together, it's like someone is seconds from walking right into his trap.
She Looks Fabulous
"Alright now it's gone too far. I can't even get it off if I wanted to! You know companies go out of business for doing things like this to animals. Not to mention you even got the shading all wrong. If you're going to do it, at least do it right."
Okay, this is just wrong. As though this french bulldog didn't have enough self-esteem issues with its breathing problems, mushed-in face, and the fact that it can't swim? Now you go and do this to him? Shame on you. However, he's probably the most fabulous looking dog in the neighborhood.
A Glorious Head Massage
Some things are universal among humans and dogs. We both love attention, food, sleep, and those metal head massagers. those things have the power to take you into a whole other dimension of pleasure, which is exactly what's happening to this doggo.
"Hey, wait, what's that? No, don't come near me with that, and definitely don't put it on my head! Seriously, stop...oh yea, that's the spot, just...like...that. Hey don't stop yet!"
Stuck In A Fishbowl
"Well this is unfortunate. All I wanted to do was play astronaut. My head fit in no problem, why can't I get it out? Ouch that hurts! My head's in here you know? Oh man, my brothers and sisters are never going to let this go."
What started off as a good idea for this puppy quickly went south. Now, he has a fishbowl around his neck that's half the size he is, and getting it off isn't going to be fun. On the bright side, at least he can still see out of it.
You've Heard Of Cat In The Hat But What About...
"When I first thought of this I knew it was a good idea, but I had no idea how good of an idea it turned out to be. Hopefully, my human never wants this hat back. Okay, now I have to pee. uh oh."
Is it a turtle, a dog, both? It's definitely a weird-looking turtle and an even weirder looking dog. To be completely honest, the dog doesn't even look that bothered by its situation. It's probably happy to have as much mass tacked onto it as possible since it's such a small dog in our big world.
Going For A Drive
Apparently, someone left the kids' car nearby the cow pasture, and Bessie wanted to take a turn behind the wheel. Her head perfectly fits inside the car, but she can't seem to figure out how to get it off. No doubt this other cow is staring and judging. The people who found the cow like this must have gotten a good laugh before helping her out.
"Hey, what's this? Oo, I want to drive. Look at me Maggie, I'm driving! Beep, beep, get out of the way! Ah, I think I'm stuck. Maggie! Help me, Maggie."
A Nice Place To Sleep
"Ah, yes, this space looks nice. Let me just tuck and crawl through here... keep crawling, keep crawling. Nap time... wait a minute. This is a little harder to get out of than I thought. Oh no, here comes my human. Ah, they're taking a photo. Stop. Get me out."
Cats are always looking for a safe place to curl up into and take a nap. Most of the time, they barely fit in the space that they choose, but that doesn't seem to matter to them, as their fluffy coats keep them comfy in even the weirdest places. Here this cat found a nap spot in the closet. They gracefully crawled and slipped into the space between the clothes and hangers, but it looks like they have no exit plan.
It's A Croc Eat Croc World
"Well this is rubbery delight! No matter how hard I chomp, I just can't seem to tear up this material... Hmm, what's this? Another crocodile's picture is on this thing? Hmm, must have belonged to him previously. Oh well."
This next one isn't so much of a fail as it is ironic. This crocodile must have been swimming in a polluted swamp or river for there to be random shoes floating around in the water! But does the crocodile know that it's chewing on a Crocs sandal? Probably not. Irony is lost on animals.
