Who couldn't use a chuckle? Animals bring joy and sometimes giggles! Hope you enjoy these animal antics. Okay, really they are just sweet animal moments, but I hope they make you happy!
I am in awe of and so grateful for wildlife photographers who bring awareness to our wild animal friends. Joel Sartore is a personal favorite and he is working to document all the animals. But, sometimes, animals get in on the action - check out these photos!
Otters, who are super playful, are also super sweet. While sleeping, they hold paws so they don't drift apart.
Why are cows so Moo-sical? Farm Sanctuary serenades their animals in beautiful ways.
Are smells funny? Well, if you want the "Freshly baked cookie" smell, spend time around a beaver bum. Or, maybe, just bake cookies (see my recipe here)!
More baked goods Sparklemuffin is the name of one of the newly discovered peacock spider species.

Yes, Kookaburra's calls do sound like laughter, and donkeys make you smile! Everybody makes noise when they are hungry! Of course, this time of year, kookaburras need a little privacy.
Amazing, more than antic, but there are some beetle larvae that eat plastic. Beetle larvae helping to save the planet? Sign me up!
Funny happens all the time in nature, but we only get to see it if someone takes a photo. Can you imagine what animals do when we're not watching? Here are some fantastic photos of animals being funny.
Glass frogs are NOT made of glass - they are made of frog. But they are really cool and excellent at camouflage.
The plural of mongoose is not mongeese - but mongooses. Not only are animals funny, but words are too. Happy April!
THE END!
I enjoyed this post so much! Joel Sartore's photos are amazing--I loved the pictures of animals that like to take photos--so fun and funny! I also LOVED the video of SparkleMuffin, how cool and cute! And also, the fact that farm animals find music therapeutic, that is really awesome. I always learn so much from these posts, and this one especially was so much fun!
I read this post while I enjoyed my morning tea. (Pu-reh this morning.). It made me smile and laugh SO much! Thank you. The pic of the otters holding hands is my favorite ~ adorable.
I recently learned that cows organize babysitting for calves. Each time adult cows travel for water (the calves stay hydrated from their mother's milk), they choose one to stay and babysit the calves. They are organized and rotate shifts. Each cow takes a turn babysitting.
And within the complex structure of their homes, beavers set up elaborite bathing systems.
Ha! April Fool's!
