Silly Animals Clowning Around Will Make Your Heart Smile

Sometimes, during a long and challenging week at work or at home, we just need to take a break. We need to unwind with maybe a glass of wine, kick our feet up, sprawl out on the couch, and escape our difficult world for a few minutes. In the mean time, we allow our brain to rest from an issue or problem and quite possibly clear our heads and be better able to deal with the problem at hand or what reality will be throwing at us next.

What better way to do that than to lean back, relax, and scroll through and laugh at photos of silly animals acting ridiculously? It will undoubtedly put a huge smile on your face. These silly animals are so adorable in their goofiness and they don’t even know it. I wonder if they have a secret communication network that posts funny articles about humans being silly and ridiculous… food for thought. What’s your (yes, you, reader) favorite silly animal in this compilation? Let us know in the comments. We’re betting it will be #54!

Silly animals - shocked monkey

This little monkey just finished looking at our awesome collection of silly animal pictures, and she is downright shocked at the outrageous behavior of some of her fellow creatures! “Scoff! I don’t look like that, do I?”… *Crickets*

Silly Animals - Ferret in toilet paper roll

Crawling in that toilet paper roll probably seemed like a good idea at the time! Not so much, now. Oh, the indignity!

Silly Animals - Dog Stuck In Lounge Chair

“Maybe if I stand real still and close my eyes, nobody will see that I’ve managed to get stuck in this lounge chair.”

Silly ANimals - Dog Homies

Just a couple of good buddies taking a selfie to post on Twitter. Aren’t they just the cutest things ever?#BestBuddies #Dogpower #Blessed

Silly Animals - Giraffe with tongue out

The class clown that can literally never make a normal face in the school group photo. His mom’s going to be maaad!

Silly Animals - Otter with tongue out
Source

This super happy otter is wondering if it is Tongue Out Tuesday yet? Because he’s definitely ready to have his picture taken for it. What a character!

Silly Animals - Lazy Owl
Source

Owls are regal, majestic birds that are famous for being very wise… erhh, well, apparently not all owls. This guy looks as though he could use a really long nap. He certainly deserves it; he always has the night shift. *badumpsht*

Silly Animals - Deer plays dress up
Source

Oh, “deer!” We hate to tell this magnificent stag that his attempt at camouflaging himself from hunters is just a big fat fail. At least he’s having fun playing dressing up with his woodland creature friends. Perhaps he is starring in the upcoming Woodland comedy play as Garth in Wayne’s World. He’s got the look down to a tee.

Silly Animals - Panda

When the other pandas ask you if you can stick your head between your legs — and you can, so you prove it!

Silly Animals - Lizard
Source

This silly chameleon didn’t know whether he should be looking up or down. So he decided to do both. Problem solved!

Silly Animals - Dog smiles like owner
Source

Some people say that dogs start to look like their owners after a while. From the looks of these two, we would have to agree.

Silly Animals - Shocked cat
Source

When you tell your cat that you’re getting a puppy to keep her company… The horror!

Silly Animals - Llama
Source

This funky-fresh smooth mama-jama is doing his best Elvis Presley impersonation. A-thank you, thank you very much.

Silly Animals - Squirrel with full cheeks
Source

“Missing nuts? I have no idea about any missing nuts. My cheeks? Errrh, bee sting! Really big bee…

Silly Animals - Husky Looks Shocked
Source

“What do you mean I’m adopted? You mean you’re not my real mom and dad?”

Silly Animals - Otter looks shocked
Source

Wouldn’t you say that the look on this little guy’s face is one of “otter” amazement? Well, you would if you were in a punny-kind of mood. Or maybe, he just wants you to try to make a fish in his mouth. He can catch it this time, he promises…twentieth time’s the charm.

Silly ANimals - Mouse
Source

This mouse has apparently watched “Mission Impossible” a few times and is hoping to make a crazy escape before you notice he’s gotten into your cracker supply.

Silly Animals - cow stuck
Source

“Well, the grass looked greener on the other side of this fence, so I decided to mooo-ve over there.”

Silly Animal- Dog with tongue out
Source

This animated dog wants to get as close to the camera as possible to show you just how funny he is. His best friend in the background 100% approves and thinks he is downright hysterical.

Silly Animals -
Source

His tongue is almost the same length as his head, which is mighty pretty impressive. This guy seems to be practicing a new kind of meditation that involves the release of ones tongue and stiffened hands.

Silly Animals - Monkey Shocked
Source

Americans reacting to the news that Donald Trump is their new president. That, or the news of the infamous Brangelina duo calling it quits.

Silly Animals - Tiger licking window
Source

If zoo-goers were hoping for a show today, they sure got one. This silly tiger was making sure the windows were extra clean for today’s events.

Silly Animals - Snake wears unicorn hat
Source

Someone told this snake that humans might like her better if she wore a little unicorn hat. Personally, we think she looks simply adorable! Did anyone else have to do a double take to see if this was a real snake or a stuffed animal?

Silly Animals - Bear in a hammock
Source

The “bear” necessities of life? Well, apparently, a comfy hammock tops the list, at least for this happy bear cub. He looks like he’s been doing this for years.

Silly Animals - Corgis' in a hammock
Source

Of course, hammocks aren’t for everyone. Just ask these two corgis. Their hammock adventure was much less successful than the bear’s. Look’s like it might have been their first attempt.

Silly ANimals - silly horses
Source

When you and your bestest buddies try to take a picture together, but one of you is always getting squeezed out.

Silly Animals - dormouse and flowers
Source

There are very few things more adorable than this sweet little dormouse enjoying a sunny day playing in the flowers! He looks so very pleased with himself. Too cute.

Silly Animals - Squirrel funny face
Source
“Muaahaha! I have hidden my nuts where no one will ever be able to find them. They’re — oh, wait! Where DID I hide them???”
Silly Animals - Lion
Source

This isn’t this lion’s best side. You can almost hear him say, “Huh??” in a disgruntled older male lion voice.

Silly Animals - Baby tiger
Source

Not sure if this is the start to a yawn, a meek attempt at a rawr, or just a goofy face for the fun of it. Whatever it is, we like it and wish we could see it go down in real life.

Silly Animals - dog scared of other dog
Source

The lab on the right seems to have just met this scary character and is very unsure about him and his own safety. Send help.

Deer with brush in his face
Source

Who turned the lights out?! This isn’t funny, Bill!

Silly Animals - Fox
Source

Well, now we know why the saying is, “Clever as a fox” and not “Coordinated as a fox.” Looks like he slid off this boulder with a big “kerplunk!”

Silly Animals - Alien Cat
Source

This is what happens when you bathe a cat — alien invasion! “Greetings earthlings, you shall not give felines baths any more or else we will scratch your eyes out and abduct your first borns! Remember this faaaace!”

Silly Animals - Hippo Yelling
Source

Perhaps, this hippo has just seen Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds.” Or perhaps he’s concerned that one of these fowls will foul on his back. Either way, this hippo truly seems frightened that these birds have somehow mistaken him for a tree. Worst. Day. Ever.

Silly Animals - Sleeping in crazy position
Source

Introducing the new boneless cat! This kitty can be conveniently folded and stuffed into tight places when not in use.

Silly animals - funny dog
Source

Is there going to be a full moon tonight? This dog appears to be more werewolf than furry best friend. “The schnozberries taste like schnozberries!”

Silly Animals - Dog shakes face
Source

The most amazing face shake to date.

Silly Animals - Gorilla picking his nose
Source

Sometimes you just need to have no shame and get that sucker out of there.

Silly Animals - Pig In the Tub
Source

You’ve heard of pigs in a blanket, right? Well, here, you have the much cuter pig in a bathtub.Scrub-a-dub-dub, one pink piggy in a tub.

Silly Animals - Monkey
Source

This goofy guy shows off his picture perfect teeth in this hilarious side smile.

Silly Animals Bird Looking Tired
Source

This goofy looking bird has seen better days but he thinks he has a few more left in him.

Silly Animals - Frogs Singing
Source

These two mudskippers are serenading each other with a classic love song. Fortunately no other species is around to hear their shrieking squeals or else someone might tell these guys that their voices match their looks… and they’re not exactly a couple of sights for sore eyes but rather, sore sights for everyones eyes.

Silly Animals - Dog sleeping awkwardly on chair
Source

His owners have tried very hard to convince this dog that he’s just too big to fit on this recliner. But he is just bound and determined to prove them wrong — no matter how uncomfortable he ends up being.

Silly ANimals - Pooped pup
Source

Is it Friday yet? This pooped pup has obviously lost all of his motivation. Even sleeping seems to have become a chore. What a silly dog, sleeping with his tongue out. Sure hope he’s not biting down on that.

Silly Animals - Squirrel caught in bird feeder
Source

“I swear this was a good idea…yeah, until the lid came down like an ethical hammer on my head. Now, here I am stuck in a guillotine.”

Silly Animal - Muddy dog
Source

From the look on this sweet pup’s face, it is obvious that he is SOOO happy that he got a chance to romp and play in the mud. His owner? Not so much.

Silly Animals - Donkeys
Source

From the looks on their faces, we’re pretty certain that these silly donkeys would agree that three’s company, but four is definitely a crowd. Hee-Haw!

Silly Animals - laughing zebras
Source

These three zebras seem to be having a lot fun laughing their silly heads off over something. Or, perhaps, they’re just practicing their imitations of laughing hyenas. Either way, we thin their funky smiles are adorable.

Silly Animals - shocked dog
Source

“You’re telling me the Chicago Cubs actually won the World Series!?! You’re pulling my tail, right?”

Silly Animals - Begging Rodent
Source

“Please sir, I want some more.” This doleful rodent is doing his best Oliver Twist imitation as he appears to be begging for a little more grub.

Silly Animals - dog doing yoga
Source

This little Zen puppy seems to be practicing yoga. Personally, we think he’s absolutely nailed his upward-facing dog.

Silly Animals - Cat and Dog Hugging
Source

You may think this is a sweet little innocent kitten, but this dog wants you to know that he’s being held hostage and that this pussy-cat is really a lot stronger than she appears. The kitten is snarling, “Act normal…or else!”

Silly Animals - Panda Riding a Jungle gym toy
Source

And, finally, we have the perfect ending to our silly animal collection — this little Panda riding off into the sunset on a plastic pony! It doesn’t get much better than that!
