Photographing animals can be a lot of fun. Whether you’re a professional wildlife photographer or just a kid taking a picture of their dog in the backyard, it’s an amusing way to capture some awesome images of your furry friends. And every now and then, you get a picture that’s just too perfect.
In fact, some animal photos almost seem too good to be true, like the animals knew exactly what was going on and wanted to pose for the moment, making amazing images that truly wouldn’t look out of place on the cover of the hottest new albums. Here are some hilarious and super cool animals who are getting ready to top the charts.
1) All Together Now
These three furry friends all stretching and yawning at the very same time and in the very same way almost makes it look like they’re singing together in perfect harmony.

Meet the all-vegan Guinea Boys. We can imagine them singing about environmental issues, climate change, and respecting the planet.
5) Simon & Hedgefunkel
This classy pup and his hedgehog pal, posing in a beautiful natural area in front of a little waterfall, seriously look like they’re going for some kind of Simon & Garfunkel tribute act look.
6) Free Bird
There have been some amazing songs related to flying free through the skies over the years. This album would be full of them!
7) Who Let The Dogs Out?
These fluffy buddies look like they’d form an amazing group! But we have a feeling the dog in the middle would eventually quit the band and launch a successful solo career.
8) The Lion Sleeps Tonight
These two lions seem to have a bit of a bromance going on, or maybe they’re father and son. Either way, they’ve posed for an absolutely flawless album cover.
9) Nevermind
These manatees look like they’re trying to recreate Nirvana’s famous ‘Nevermind’ album cover, which famously depicted a baby underwater chasing a dollar.
10) Froggy (Feat. The Mantis)
Froggy and The Mantis sounds like one of the unlikeliest but most exciting musical double acts of all time!

Soulful Squirrel is ready to take R&B to a whole new level with her latest and greatest tracks.
18) Howl At The Moon

This playfully posing lion could release a great album of cover songs, including ‘Roar’ by Katy Perry and ‘Joe the Lion’ by David Bowie.
25) Emo Horses
This horse is bringing back all the angst of some of the best ever emo bands from the past. Unfortunately, he probably puts more effort into keeping his hair looking so soft and shiny than actually writing good lyrics.

45) Europop Duo
With their unique haircuts and emotional poses, these horses look like some European pop pairing from the 1980s.
46) Get Out The Way
When this penguin posse comes rolling into town, you’d better watch out!
47) Biggie & Smalls
This little and large duo could make some amazing music! We can just imagine the hoots of the little owl blending perfectly with the melodious barks of his dog buddy.

Taking inspiration from his idol, Barry White, this albino gorilla is ready to share some songs about loving and sensuality.
52) Poetry In Motion
The way this bird has been perfectly captured shaking its head from side to side makes this image utterly perfect for use on an emotional album.
53) A Nirvana Fan
Earlier on, we had a couple of manatees recreating the famous Nevermind album cover, but it looks like this dog is doing an even better job! Instead of chasing a dollar bill, he’s going after his favorite tennis ball.

It’s rare for cats and dogs to get along, so this band might have a few backstage issues down the road, but they’re looking pretty good in this photo!
55) The Meow Woofers
Once again, we have a cat-dog combination. Those two Rottweilers seem to be the ‘muscle’ of the group, while the cats provide soothing sounds with their sweet meows.
56) Black Or White
Michael Jackson famously sang “It don’t matter if you’re black or white”, and we think that might be the theme of this awesome album cover too.
57) I Like Fluffy Butts And I Cannot Lie
Some modern popstars have a reputation for being a little ‘vulgar’ with their poses and outfits. This naughty bunny is trying to attract more fans by showing off her fluffy booty.

63) Nuts About You
This cheeky squirrel looks like he’s recorded a whole bunch of love songs and can’t wait to share them with someone special.
64) Workin’ It
This bulldog knows that one secret to selling pop records in the modern day is being sexy, so she’s working her body and showing off her curves!
65) Flying High
From The Eagles to The Yardbirds, there have been some amazing bird-themed bands over the years. Any one of them could have used this as an album cover and felt proud of it.
The musical world better watch out, because it looks like these hard-rocking animals are about to bust down the doors of record studios all over the world and break into the Top 100 with their hot new tracks!
