We all have seen animals act unusual and weird on the internet or in our very homes. All these quirks are part of natural animal behavior. An animal’s behavior is one way they communicate and interact with other living organisms.
There is an entire sub-Reddit dedicated to “internet as an art” – a sarcastic way of telling us that weird and unusual things are found on the internet. Weird can be borderline cute or uncomfortable, you be the judge to that.
The sub-Reddit r/hmmm contains varied photos and videos. A huge chunk of their content features animals in all their weird glory. Here are 45 animal photos from it that are pretty unusual, totally weird, or just plain funny.
1. “Let me check before you post it.”
We all have that one friend who first checks on the photos we took before posting them on social media. For this photographer, that friend is this fox. But we can say it has nothing to worry about. That smile will garner thousands of likes!
2. Catrobatics.
We know cats can be pretty flexible, and this one is just flexing it! But let’s give credit to the perfect timing of the photographer, too.
3. “What do you want, dear child?”
Is the old lady channeling to the squirrel through the old-lady puppet? We just want to know. Maybe this is a new way to communicate to squirrels.
4. The Savior is Born!
Well… maybe this cat was meant to save other cats in the future. He’ll sacrifice one of his nine lives to save all cat-kind.
5. “I think that’s me.”
Seeing yourself on TV can either be amusing or cringeworthy. But for this dog, he’s probably more amused to see something so familiar on screen. He just doesn’t know how close to reality he is watching.
6. Life imitates art.
As the adage would say, “life imitates art.” This dog took it quite literally.
7. Roasted chi— errr…
If you’re the one to roast this chicken, you better think twice because you might throw in a cat!
8. I am a vam-purr.
If this cat is planning to dress as a vampire for Halloween, it will do him no good because he can’t scare anyone with that cuteness!
9. Isn’t Dobby a free elf?
Potter fans will totally get this photo. This pair would look good together for Halloween or Comi-con. But didn’t Harry set Dobby free? Or is this Kreacher?
10. “Look, Ma! I’m a catfood model!”
This is another perfect example of good shutter timing. Look at that precision! You’d really mistake it for the cat’s face.
11. When you thought you’d fit in there.
Remember those times when you thought you’d still fit in your jeans and just realize you don’t anymore because it got stuck? That explains this photo.
12. Waiting for the groom to kiss the bride.
Creative wedding venues are fabulous, like this aquarium or sea world. But expect a few not-so-expected guests like this one who seems too eager for the upcoming kiss.
13. The shadow has awakened.
This incredible photo looks like the black cat is the other one’s shadow! But quite a creepy shadow if it has eyes like that looking at you.
14. “Will my neck break like this, too?”
If you are this duck, it can be a traumatic scene to see this one – especially if you don’t know it’s not real. Poor duck. He might need some stress de-briefing!
15. Happy kitties, sleepy kitties, purr purr purr.
We all know yawning can be contagious. Now we know it’s true for cats, too!
16. Cat-ception.
It’s a cat within a cat! It’s incredible how one cat can have this unique pattern.
17. Who did it better?
Who do you think posed for a more IG-worthy photo? One vote for the dog.
18. That has to be a very looong neck!
This is what a dog-giraffe fusion looks like. But since that’s not possible, we can’t help but be in awe of this weird yet picture-perfect moment.
19. “My preciousss…”
Maybe Gollum lost the ring, so he’s protecting golden coins now.
20. “Yep. This is how I won the race.”
The hare may hop merrily and get a commanding lead in the race, but this tortoise knows his route well; he obviously knows where to take a shortcut.
21. “I said stop fighting!!!”
Says the angry cat. This one could be a great mediator in any fight.
22. Blink twice if you’re in danger.
This woman’s stare is highly suspicious. We hope this kitten would give us a sign if his life were in any danger.
23. Chill all day.
This cat knows how (and where) to chill for the day, whether in portrait or real life.
24. He loves big butts, and he cannot lie.
We don’t know what’s going on here, but what an awkward moment these hippos.
25. “Oh, reallyyy?”
We all can see that unusual marking on the wood that looks a lot like a dog. But this dog’s face looks like they’re spilling some tea with each other, and it’s very juicy.
26. Doggo heard some sad news on the phone.
One moment he’s excited; the next moment, he’s all sad. It’s like that moment when we’re waiting for a package to arrive, only to be told it got lost along the way. We feel you, doggo.
27. All hail Bastet.
Are we in Egyptian mythology? Is this Bastet? What is going on here?
28. Captain America needs some love.
We’re not sure if Captain America was a dog person, but he needs some love from this one. However, this dog has no clue what’s going on.
29. “I’m not THAT heavy!”
We don’t want to weight-shame someone here but based on this photo, and somebody’s been eating more of their share than they should. Hmmm.
Cat-leidoscope.
This is one fantastic optical illusion! We won’t complain about having that many cute cats in our homes.
31. “Are you our mommy?”
These piglets dressed in faux-fur in tiger stripes pattern are looking for their mom. They think this tiger is the one.
32. Painting for commission.
Well, if this crow can paint for commissions with this art, we think he’ll earn a lot. These paintings will make great presents.
33. Properly labeled box.
You know what you’re getting. The box was labeled correctly what’s inside.
34. Like some horror movie.
It can be scary or funny – depending on how you see it. If you saw the movie, you’d probably find this more frightening than funny.
35. “Can you help me get out of here so we can play?”
They look alike at one glance. Then, you’d realize they are not the same creatures. But they look like they could be great friends, though.
36. “Are you still alive?”
It’s scary how most of our pets do this. It looks like they’re checking if we’re still alive or if we’re in a deep sleep already so they can wreak havoc.
37. When the product appears bigger than the actual.
Online shopping can be very tricky. Sometimes, the product seems too good to be true, just like this cat tower.
38. “Oh, are you looking for the birds?”
This photo is screaming that a “crime” has happened. This cat is probably about to take a nap after his dinner!
39. “Who wants to go first?”
That moment when you’re in a meeting and no one wants to go first. So, you look down or sideways so your name won’t be called out.
40. Got a lot of explaining to do.
“He did it, mom!” “No, I didn’t.” “Yes, you did!” “Did not!” Yeah, we can hear this go on and on.
41. What ‘C’ in CPU means.
It means “cat,” you guys. Cat Processing (your) Unit.
42. They could be related.
Pineapple. Porcupine. They could be close relatives because they both have spikes. Duh.
43. One “uh-oh” moment.
It looks like some playful cat we’re caught in the act. Indeed, a lot of damage during play here; let’s see what excuses they come up with.
44. From different angles.
We all have a “good” angle. This cat just discovered his because man! There’s a huge, HUGE difference between those two angles.
45. Mask on.
We know these are crazy times, and wearing masks is a must. This owner found the need to put a mask on her cat. But since it’s pretty huge, she just bore holes where the eyes should be.
