Since the invention of the selfie hoomans have tried every angle, filter and mood lighting to capture 'the perfect selfie', a complete moment capturing the digital soul of the creator. However the most coveted of all, is the animal/pet selfie. To capture a singular moment where both you and your animal friend are looking your finest is truly one of social media's loftiest goals. It shows how connected you are to each other, how deep your love is and ultimately just how cool you are.
But no friends, no such perfection is seen in this list. This is about the animals who saw an opportunity and took it. The animals who planned their photobombs and stolen selfies weeks, even months in advance. These are the animals changing the meaning of the pet selfie, these are the inn-hoof-vators.
"Oh hello there, I am the hooman fish, I can't grant you any wishes but I have a nice stick for you to play with"
This puffer is a true master at work, perfectly eclipsing the diver's head behind to steal the image of the diver's body and claim it for himself. We bet this picture is going viral in this puffer's social network.
When a Penguin switches on you, you know it is time to go. Nothing is more terrifying than the sight of hundreds of waddling James Bonds, swaying towards you threateningly. Seems this guy had enough of the photographer's interference on his beach and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Who knows maybe the Penguin just wanted to keep the beach a secret…
