Why do we love animals? Well one of the biggest reasons is that they are hilarious. If you have pets of your own or observe wildlife often, you know this. What makes them so funny?

Animals tend to get themselves in all kinds of silly situations. They get stuck in places, make funny poses, and always seem to be in some kind of hilarious trouble. They just can’t help it.

Pet owners try to keep their pets from making goofy mistakes, but they can’t always be around to help them. Sometimes their pets have to wait until their owners get home to be rescued. Sometimes, their owners take the time to snap a photo before they help out their pets.

These pet owners did exactly that. They caught their pets or other animals in the middle of some epic fails. They were also kind enough to share their photos with the rest of us.
