25 hilarious and not very successful attempts to photograph wildlife (26 photos)

Some say that children and animals are the most difficult subjects to photograph (unless they are sleeping, of course). They cannot sit in one place and do not respond well to the photographer’s requests. Our selection includes animals that turned out to be extremely restless and unphotogenic. But very funny!





1. “This baby naps in the same place every day. Siesta time!”

4. “It’s absolutely clear that they evolved from dinosaurs.”



5. “I was lucky enough to see a rare sea potato from Northern California! Butter and chives are not included"
