Photos Of Animals Caught At Just The Right Moment To Show That Nature Is Awesome (And Hilarious)

Something that we have forever and always thought is that nature and wildlife are just… awesome. Animals are so cool. They do such unique things. They have such unique looks and habits, and goodness, what we wouldn't do to be able to interact with them more. And it's true! Nature is awesome. But not always. Even animals have bad days, and some animals do silly things sometimes, like interrupting wildlife photographers in cute ways or interacting with human technologies with absolute bamboozlement.

It's that mix that we love so much. The mix of cool and silly. Of awesome and hilarious. So that's the kind of collection we have for you today - photos of animals caught at just the right moment to show that mix - that animals are indeed awesome, but they're also totally heckin' silly sometimes.

Oh, the timing of this photo is something else. We wish we had more photos of what happened right after this moment. Did the bird swerve at the last second or was there impact? Did the bird fly into this camera with all of its angry-bird rage and might and smite it?

When we tell you that it took us far longer than it probably should have to realize what is happening in this photo… Again, the timing is impeccable. The angle too. This, we think, is the photo of a lifetime.
