Animal Antics for April Fool's

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!

1. 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!

2. Otters, who are super playful, are also super sweet. While sleeping, they hold paws so they don't drift apart.

3. Why are cows so Moo-sical? Farm Sanctuary serenades their animals in beautiful ways.

   
   

4. 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)!

5. More baked goods Sparklemuffin is the name of one of the newly discovered peacock spider species.

6. Are you looking for a new exercise routine? Try to keep up with the dancing lemurs!

7. 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.

   
   
   

   
   
   

8. Amazing, more than antic, but there are some beetle larvae that eat plastic. Beetle larvae helping to save the planet? Sign me up!

9. 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.

10. Glass frogs are NOT made of glass - they are made of frog. But they are really cool and excellent at camouflage.

    

    

    
    
    

11. The plural of mongoose is not mongeese - but mongooses. Not only are animals funny, but words are too. Happy April!
