Try Looking At These Animal Fails Without Laughing

Published on 03/15/2020

There’s no doubt that animals are truly something special. Aside from being faster than us humans, they can jump higher than us as well. And, of course, they’re cuter than people too. However, despite animals having superior physical talents, they still have pretty hilarious fails every once in a while. These animals, for instance, are great examples of cats, dogs, and other four-legged beings that aren’t immune to looking a little silly every now and again. Keep reading to see some of the funniest animal fails and brighten up your day.

The Hungry Dog

It must have been a while since this dog has eaten for it to be as greedy as it is for some food. It’s only a picture, buddy! In any case, animals can be truly hilarious if you pay them enough attention or catch them in a funny act. Lucky for you, we’ve found many pictures of animal fails that will have you laughing.

Man Down

Here we see a magnificent panda doing an accidental handstand off a slide. The only explanation we have for this is that the panda must have gone down the slide and jumped off before it got to the end because it was scared.

Superhero Raccoon

It seems that this situation didn’t end too well. It’s pretty unfortunate for this raccoon since it looks like it might have gotten injured after landing on the ground. We just hope that raccoons can land like cats in order to keep from getting hurt.

The Napping Cat

It’s pretty known that cats are very flexible and can sleep just about everywhere. In this case, it seems like this cat didn’t want to make use of its skill and it got caught in a messy situation that looked worse than it was. Thankfully, neighbors saw the cat – named Bella – and the police rescued her. That must have been a very serious nap!

Where Is Everyone?

This is a pretty strange sight if you ask us. What would you think if you walked into a parking lot only to see a single goose in a puddle? Where was the rest of its flock? Did it want some alone time? There are so many questions that we need the answer to!

The Deer Slipped

As you’re taking a walk in the wintery forest, you listen to the tranquil sounds of the woods. You hear some birds in the distance, the crunch of your footsteps. All is calm. Suddenly, you reach a clearing and what do you see? A majestic deer. What’s it doing? You aren’t sure. Next thing you know it’s sitting just like a human!

The Kitty Thief

We all know that pictures are worth 1000 words. This picture seems to be an entire story! Something went seriously wrong and led to a baby crying in his underwear with a cat that has a lollipop stuck to its fur. There must be a very funny explanation for this.

Chubby Squirrel

Just like humans, not all squirrels are created equal. We even have this picture as proof. This whole in the tree is meant to fit all squirrels, no? Apparently not. How many nuts has this little guy been eating?

It Gets Worse

It’s bad enough that this bird seems to be content just standing on his head. But to drop one right down his forehead? That’s a whole new level of disrespect that cannot be tolerated! The look on his face truly says it all.

Parrot, But Upside Down

We can’t help but wonder how on earth a parrot ends up on its forehead when it can fly? Is it doing this on purpose? Is it a form of protest that it isn’t getting enough crackers? We really have no idea.

When Your Food Fights Back

In this case, we really hope that the prey is the snake and not the opposite. That would be one brave snake if that was the case. This bird must have been hungry and it chose this snake for food. However, it didn’t realize that his food wasn’t willing to go down without a fight!

Awkward First Kiss

It’s pretty obvious why these birds are called Swallows. How hungry can the bird in the tree be to try and pull off something like this? Despite not being able to see much of its face, the bird on the left looks like it just got the shock of its life.

The Lizard’s Bite

This little green lizard just saw the cat and strangely thought it would be a good idea to bite the cat’s nose. Why? We have absolutely no idea. However, we’re pretty sure that this cat won’t have any of it and will fight back.

The Panda Failed

This is such a nice scene to see. Just a group of little pandas lying down and doing their own thing. That is until one of them decides to jump off the platform and make a run for it. Only it didn’t succeed in its attempt to get away.

Paws Matter

This clearly overdramatic cat looks like these are its last moments on earth. She might just be on her last life after having wasted her pass eight lives while trying to cross the street trying to get the mouse it was chasing. Now, as the end comes near, the only thing left to do is cry out for help.

Harmless Creature

This little guy looks like he’s having the best nap of his life. The only problem is that his human can’t read now since they can’t turn the page. Still, we wouldn’t complain if we had this kind of problem. On the contrary, this wouldn’t be considered a problem in our book!

Ninja Turtles Visit Goes Wrong

Here we’ve got another raccoon with a funny situation. These animals are known to be nosy and adventurous. Meaning that you might just find one in your house digging through your garbage one night. How they even get inside the house is another matter. We can’t even imagine how this raccoon ended up in this situation in the first place.

Or Else…

It’s no secret that cats don’t like getting wet. Seeing as this cat was stuck outside during the rain, it only makes sense that it was very, very upset, to say the least. Instead of doing the decent thing and letting the cat in right away, the owner decided to snap a pic first. The cat looks like it’s ready to get some serious revenge.

The Dressed-Up Manatee

Clearly, this manatee doesn’t like greens. Just like a small child, it seems to rather playing with its vegetables than eating them. In this case, it feels like wearing its lettuce on its face is more practical than actually eating it.

Chubby Hamster

Here we have a classic case of an animal that doesn’t truly understand its size. Yes, you’re a small hamster, but maybe try running on the wheel a little bit more? That is if you want to fit through that hole again without getting stuck.

Curious Hedgehog

It’s not often that you get to see a hedgehog sitting like a human, not to mention, with a toilet paper roll on its face. This little guy seems to have accepted his fate and given up completely. It doesn’t look like he wants to do much about it.

A Drunken Panda

We can’t tell if this panda is having a blast or calling for help. We might never know. The world was literally turned upside-down for this panda. It looks like it hasn’t even realized that fact yet. It might just be too out of it to notice.

Confused Dog

It’s not often that you use a sentence that has the words “technology” and “dogs” in it. However, it seems that this particular dog came across a smartphone and happened to have opened the front-facing camera. We can’t deny that we all have the same reaction when this happens to us.

The Loyal Pup

As the saying goes, a dog is truly a man’s best friend. When you come home, they’re right there to greet you, they keep you company, you can use them as a pillow, and if you really need to, you can put your (not hot!) coffee on their head for a bit while you tie your shoe.

The Pup had a Long Day

We all have these days, don’t we? When your day was so long that you can’t even make it to bed when you get home before falling asleep. This puppy must have gotten exhausted from running around in circles in the yard trying to catch a squirrel.

Gamer Cat

Much the same as for dogs, the words cat and technology don’t seem to be in the same sentence, yet, here we are. We see a cat playing on a Nintendo DS and getting caught red-handed. It looks like the owner came home earlier than expected.

Serpent Supper

Snakes are a very mysterious species if you ask us. As if they weren’t mysterious enough, this one seems to be… eating itself? Who knows if it’s doing that on purpose or if it simply doesn’t realize it.

The Morning After

This cat seems to have had a really good time with the boys the night before this picture was taken. He’s in for a tough day with the hangover it’ll have. He probably has no idea how he even ended up on the ground where he woke up.

Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun

Whoever claims that dogs don’t like loud noises must have never met this dog. He’s clearly in the zone while jamming to his favorite music, having the best time. Do not throw off this dog’s groove. You might just never find your shoe again if you interrupt him!

Unemployed Cat

This cat seems to have completely mastered the art of chilling. There’s nothing quite like turning on the TV and drinking a cold beer after an entire day of doing absolutely nothing. Don’t worry, though, he’ll start the job hunt tomorrow.

Scary Bath

Aside from facing its worst fear of being soaking wet, this cat looks like it was just told the most awful news of its life. All around, it seems like this cat is just not having the best day while this picture was taken.

Suspicious Cat

There’s no doubt that this cat looks like it’s up to something. We would not wanna be this cat’s owner while this picture was taken. The way he’s rubbing his paws together as if he’s planning something truly evil, is unsettling, to say the least.

Fabulous Frenchie

This is just plain wrong. As if this Frenchie didn’t have enough problems with its self-esteem, the owner had to go and do this. It’s just plain mean. However, we can’t deny that this is probably the most fabulous dog we’ve ever seen. Just don’t do it again.

That’s the Spot

There are certain things that are universal among both humans and dogs. We all love attention, food, sleep, and those weird-looking head massagers. Those things can take you into a whole new dimension of relaxation.

To Infinity and Beyond

This might have started off as a good idea, but it certainly didn’t go as planned for this poor puppy. Now, he’s stuck with a fishbowl around his head! Getting it off doesn’t look like it’s going to be a fun process at all. On the bright side, he can still see through it.

Parkour Cat

While cats are known for being incredibly agile, quick, and always land on their feet, this one looks like it’s about to learn a harsh lesson. Before leaping into this too far jump, the cat didn’t seem to have thought about the snow’s effect. It was just at this moment – the cat knew it messed up.

What Kind of Dog is This?

Is it a dog? Is it a turtle? Is it both? We may never know! If we’re being honest, the dog doesn’t seem to actually care about this situation. It’s probably happy to have something enveloping him and making him feel safe in this big, bad world.

Getting Ready To Drive

It looks like someone left the kids’ car near the cows, and one of them wanted to try her hand at driving. While her head fit perfectly, she couldn’t seem to figure out how to get it off. The other cow is definitely staring and seriously judging.

Hanger Cat Doesn’t Need Help

Cats are always on the hunt for a good place to curl up and take a nap. A lot of the time, they hardly fit in the space that they choose, but it doesn’t seem to matter to them. Even in the weirdest places, their fluffy coats keep them nice and comfy. Here, this cat found a great spot inside the closet. While it got inside easily, it doesn’t look like it has a plan of how to get out.

Is This Cannibalism?

This isn’t so much of a fail as a truly ironic photo. This crocodile was probably swimming around some swamp or river and came across shoes floating on the water. However, does it know that it’s chewing on crocs? Most likely not…

The Buck Wanted To Ball

This cute deer probably saw the abandoned old basketball and wanted a new toy to play with. Even though he was right, he, unfortunately, couldn’t figure out how to get the ball out of its antlers. We just hope it got the ball out eventually.

Pigeon-Holed

Pigeons are relatively known for hanging around areas where there is a lot of crumbs to eat. It looks like this one got lucky enough to score a whole slice of bread for itself! We guess it was so excited that it ate straight through the middle, leading to this situation – a stylish bread necklace.

Oh, (Rein)dear!

Oh no… It looks like this reindeer got itself into some trouble. Maybe it saw something that could possibly attack its baby, so it made a quick decision to try and attack first. It seems like this protective parent turned out to be overprotective and ended up digging up the brush with its antlers.

Oh, (Rein)dear

Get Off!

This hippo seems to have some unwanted visitors on its back. It must have been simply enjoying a nice bath in the water when the bids settled on its back. At least, that’s when the hippo lost it since it looks like it wasn’t too happy about the situation.

Should Have Smelled It Coming

This fox had no idea what was coming when it decided to smell the skunk just like it would any other animal. It looks like it’s a young fox, which might explain why it didn’t know better and was simply curious about the black and white animal. Unfortunately, the fox learned this lesson the hard way.

Polar Leak

We feel so bad for the polar bear swimming in the water! It probably just followed a friend for a nice morning swim, not knowing how it would end. Unfortunately, the bear on land didn’t seem to realize its friend was in the water just behind it.

Muddy Pup

It’s clear that this puppy knows exactly how much trouble it’s in. It might have mud all over its head and front paws, but its expression shows that it feels bad for it. We guess this isn’t the first time this pup haad done something of the sort – it already knows what’s in store.

Cats Have No Bounds

You can just see how little this cat cares about the rules. It completely disregarded the giant wet paint sign right next to it. Well, the joke’s on the cat, because it will be covered in paint when it stands up.

Leap Of Faith

This raccoon seems to have gotten itself into quite a sticky situation. We see it’s head-first inside a military tank. It must have thought it was some kind of trash can that was filled with delicious goodies. Sadly, jumping in wasn’t enough for the raccoon to get through and it got stuck.

Just Squirrely Business

Somehow, this squirrel was underground when it was looking for a way to come back up. It looks like it saw the light shining through the holes of the manhole cover and was determined to get out through there. It might not have been completely wrong, it just wasn’t aware of its own size.

Dangerous Bite

There are some cats who want to chew on just about anything, no matter what it is. This cat just so happened to choose a rather dangerous object to bite down on – a cactus. Little does the cat know, cacti have a self-defense mechanism. A painful one. We just hope that this cat didn’t get hurt as a result.

Right In The–!

This dog doesn’t seem to be too coordinated. It looks like a very playful puppy who got a little carried away while playing fetch. This picture makes it look almost as if he saw what would happen before the ball was actually thrown!

St. Patrick’s Day

This is great for a St. Patrick’s Day parade! This pup definitely thought it through before he rolled on the freshly mowed lawn. Its owner decided to capture this moment on Snapchat to show exactly what happens when a Golden Retriever does this.

A Failed Escape

We can’t really figure out what really happened here, so we’re just gonna guess that this horse attempted to jump the fence. Only, it didn’t make it to the other side. If that’s the case, how did it get stuck inside the fence? We can’t even imagine how it got itself into this situation.

You Can’t See Me

It looks like this little Corgi is one that enjoys lots and lots of treats! It’s probably well-trained for it to have an entire slice of bread right on its face and not eat it. Actually, on second thought, it must be very confused as to why it’s in this situation at all. However, it seems to be very calm while waiting for its rewards.

Buy 35, Get A Cat Free

We know cats get themselves into all kinds of sticky situations, as we’ve seen earlier. However, this one is slightly different is but just as weird. This cat somehow got itself a pack of water bottles, but it had no idea how to get back out.

He’s Seen Better Days

This must have been quite a sight to drive past. Aside from the fact that seeing an armadillo is rare in itself, seeing one that is passed out from a beer is an entirely different story. This armadillo must have had a seriously long day at work.

Mission Impossible: Mouse Trap

This mouse can really show some actors how it’s done! The funniest part of this picture is its face when it sees the person taking a picture. It looks like it knows it just got caught doing something shady…

Guitar Trap

Firstly, how did this ferret even get into the guitar? The main fail is how it can’t make its way back out again once it did get inside. Is it us or does he look strangely smug throughout this whole story? He might just be proud of this accomplishment.

Caught Between Dimensions

Here we have yet another cat that got itself into a sticky situation it can’t get itself out of. We’ve talked about flexible cats are, and here it’s clear to see that. We don’t know why this cat thought it was a good idea to slide in between the screen and window, but this picture is pretty hilarious.
