Let’s admit it; not all nature pictures are created equally. While some deserve to be on the cover of every wildlife magazine others, sadly, didn’t make the cut. However, there exists a unique realm for wildlife photographs that, somehow, eluded the confines of those solemn and humorless award ceremonies. The Facebook group “Crap Wildlife Photography” shares these hilarious images that are amazing in their own ways. While they may not possess the regal grandeur or breathtaking beauty that garners critical acclaim, these photographs hold a far greater appeal to those blessed with a keen sense of humor.

Talk About Ducking Down!

Just as this individual was about to capture an adorable picture of the duck, it decided to take a plunge beneath the water surface in pursuit of food, exposing its derriere above the waterline. That’s is no way to greet people, Mr. Duck! How would you like it if we stuck our back ends in your face? You wouldn’t like it at all. He must have thought someone said, “What’s up?” To which he replied, “Duck butt.”

If we had the chance, we would happily frame and display this photograph on our wall, as it manages to be hilariously bad and remarkably captivating all at once. Hopefully, the duck’s culinary adventure beneath the water surface proved fruitful, making the sacrifice of a picture well worth it.

When You Take A Photo Through The Screen On The Window

Whoever’s grandmother dedicated the time to meticulously cross-stitch a picture of two goldfinches might be surprised to learn that someone actually attempted to capture the same scene through a window screen, only to yield a disappointingly dreadful outcome. We would have liked it much better if it were cross-stitched because that would make more sense. The picture probably would have been perfect had it not been for the window screen.

While window screens serve the purpose of keeping pesky bugs at bay, they consistently prove to be a hindrance when it comes to capturing flawless photographs. At least they have a pattern for the cross-stitch they can make in the future of this ruined picture.

Is it a unanimous consensus among us that geese are the most undesirable avian species in existence? Their behavior tends to be impolite, confrontational, and they demonstrate a proclivity for utilizing the environment as their personal restroom. You don’t even have to get that close to them to be seen as a threat because they will attack you even if you leave them alone. When they have to put up signs that the geese are aggressive, you know it’s a real problem.

What actions did this individual undertake to warrant such an unprovoked assault? After observing the signs, we would refrain from traversing that vicinity due to our apprehension of birds, and the prospect of encountering irate geese is even more intimidating.

“Sir, cameras aren’t allowed in this part of the woods.

That is one bird we would not want to mess with. We don’t know what animal they were trying to get a picture of or what they were recording, but they probably never expected to see this angry bird face so close to the camera.

The bird became agitated upon realizing that the camera was capturing all those private dance parties it had indulged in, believing that no one was observing its lively performances.

This eagle appears to have weathered significant challenges and experiences. If the year 2020 were to be symbolized by an animal, this eagle would be a fitting representation, embodying resilience and the ability to persevere in the face of adversity. This bird is supposed to represent freedom and bravery, but it looks like it would be scared of its own shadow. We don’t know what he was doing before this picture, but it might have been something ill-eagle.

His disheveled hair suggests he’s been through a lot, and his expression reveals the need to confide in someone about the distressing sight he witnessed.

If it goes any higher, it won’t be able to hold on anymore. If this were a film, its title would aptly be “Mission Impossible: Trash Panda Edition,” and we’re eager to witness it unfold on the big screen.

He is ready to get in all kinds of trouble once this woman walks away, and they can be sure that the trashcans on that street will be rummaged through. It would be beneficial for those mischievous critters to acquire the skill of stealthiness to avoid being apprehended in the future.

Having devoted a grueling 25 minutes crawling through frigid, muddy terrain on a cold winter morning to achieve the ideal angle, the photographer was met with an unexpected turn of events. Just as the shutter was released, the deer, in an amusing twist, emitted a resounding burp. It had been standing majestically that entire time, but it must have known how to ruin the perfect picture. It’s like he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to belch, and he held it in the whole time until he saw the photographer was close enough.

One could surmise that this deer must be in its teenage years, as adult deer would rarely exhibit such impolite behavior. It almost appears as if the young deer is vociferously urging the cameraman to refrain from approaching any closer.

This raccoon seems to possess the air of a bouncer guarding the entrance to an exclusive underground raccoon club. Its demeanor suggests that it would inquire if you’re on the guest list or if you have any connections to gain entry into the happening party. Unless we dress up in a giant raccoon costume, it looks like we won’t be allowed in the trashy club. The drink of the night is a half-eaten apple martini, and you can get any kind of leftover food you want in there. While the company may bear some resemblance to rodents, one can acclimate to such quirks.

The whimsical rabbit should seek out larger objects to conceal itself effectively if it genuinely desires to camouflage. In due time, it will come to grasp the mechanics of the game and realize the flaw in its current approach.

The presence of vultures typically signifies the presence of a deceased organism in the vicinity. In the unfortunate event of a medical error, some claim that local vultures are summoned to conceal any evidence that may have resulted from such mistakes. They must be hanging around the hospital just in case someone needs their special help. If you are in the hospital and see vultures in the courtyard, it is probably not a good sign.

In such a situation, it is highly likely that we would opt to return to our car and seek an alternative hospital, even if it meant enduring an additional two-and-a-half-hour drive. Some signs just shouldn’t be ignored.

Vanessa actually has a song called “I Don’t Want to Be a Bride”. In it, she sang: “But I don’t wanna be a bride. Apologies to your mother, I wanna be your girl and spend this life with you.”
