The animal world is a wild place. The laws of the jungle apply - it's eat or be eaten and only the fittest survive. However, there are some rare exceptions, like the sloth, which may or may not be the derpiest animal out there, and yet, they're still going strong despite having literally zero survival skills. This just goes to show that it's not always eat or be eaten, sometimes, it's derp or be derpin'. And that's where we come in.

Even our adorable animal friends have brain farts, and luckily, we have the pictures to prove it. The cute critters below were either caught in the wrong (or right, depending on who you ask) moment, or just simply furgot how to animal. It happens to the best of us. Like today, where we got all the way down to our car to drive to work, only to realize that we didn't take our car keys with us. Oops! Scroll down to get a healthy helping of silly from these flawlessy funny animals, and we wish you a pawfectly pleasant day!

This birb clearly took some inspiration from the one, the only, Jean-Claude Van Damme. And although this pose may be iconic, we don't think that it's very functional. It does make for a flawlessly funny feathery photo, though!

Do you remember that scene from Tarzan where the baby elephant asks if the water is sanitary? That is this elephant, but in real life. We can't stop giggling from the shocked look on its face. They are certainly questioning their life decisions at this point!
