Taking a good photo isn’t always easy. I mean, have you seen our list of 40 Family Pictures That Were Clearly A Mistake? And when there’s an animal in the frame, the challenge becomes even greater. After all, it’s not like you can convince a squirrel to wait until you’ve found the perfect angle. But of course, that’s where all the fun is!

So for your entertainment, we collected the most ridiculous animal photos we could find. Some feature pets during a studio shoot, while others capture wild critters at exactly the wrong—or perhaps the right—moment.
