Nature photography is incredible and inspirational -except when it isn’t and when it comes to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, it most certainly isn’t.
Their photo contest is entirely too hilarious and you won’t want to miss the contest’s 2016 finalists, which include the silly shots featured here and many, many more.
Celebrate the derp and enjoy the fact that it’s only natural to occasionally take really bad pictures.

He’s creepy and he’s kooky. He’s all together spooky -the Addams birdie. You gotta love how he replicates the clicks with the head. It seems like he really is a member of the Addams’ clan.

Every day, Piper gets a ride to work, where she helps keep people safe at the airport. She’s not a bomb or drug sniffing dog though. Instead, Piper works on the airport helping to prevent something that endangers far more passengers -birds being hit by plane engines.
The 8 year-old border collie simply does what comes natural to her -chasing ducks, geese, owls and more away from the runways. Of course, there was some training involved in getting the pooch to get used to the planes as that’s not something dogs normally feel comfortable around.
Even when poor Piper injured her arm she continued to happily do her duty, running along with an adorable yellow cast. That’s not to say she is in danger at work though. Her handlers make sure to equip her with protective earwear and goggles.

Yes, tiny critters at a tiki bar. That is all.
We’ve all been there, especially on vacation -you’re having a nice, relaxing nap by the pool when an annoying family who just can’t stop yelling for two seconds comes out and destroys your serenity. These two dogs embody the worst kind of annoying tourist -the one who wants to drag you into their world of stupidity. I only wish I could handle the situation as quickly and smoothly as this cat does.

If there’s one thing all parents seem to agree on about their kids, it’s that they all just grow up so fast. The same is even more true with pets who often reach full size in only one year whereas kids take up toforteen years to do so. That’s why we love these great pictures of pets that show the difference a few years can make with our furry friends.
The pictures also are a great reminder that as adorable as puppies and kitties are, full-sized pooches and felines are also pretty precious -and as you’ve built up that bond over time, you’ll probably always think your own little fur ball is even more wonderful than ever before.
Dogs are crazy when it comes to farts. Half of them fart and get confused by what came out of their bottom and half of them fart and run away to leave you with the stench. But then there’s Rain, who simply hears a fart machine and suddenly thinks he is the culprit, though he just doesn’t understand since he didn’t feel anything come out from back there.
Hey, at least he’s not the one doing it and unlike a lot of humans, he doesn’t try to hide it.

When you open up a bag of mulch, the last thing you expect to find is a baby critter, but that’s exactly what one Imgur user discovered when he cut one open.
Fortunately for the squirrel, the man was a fan of animals, so he opted to bottle feed it and rescue the poor orphaned critter.
These days, the big healthy critter is named Zip and he’s so happy he’s even ready to take a roadtrip -let’s just hope he’s not the one driving though.

We’ve already seen dogs teaching babies to crawl and cats that have tried to teach kids to walk, but this time it’s the baby who has taught the dogs a new trick -how to crawl. And could this crawling lesson be any cuter?
