Because animals are so often cute and cuddly and hilarious, it’s easy to forget that they are, well, animals. They have the tools to survive without humans around, and the attitude to use them when they have to. Every now and then, we get a glimpse of that less cuddly side of them, and it’s clear, you really don’t want to get on their bad side.
Kangaroo Jacked.

You’d think ‘roos would be all leg-power, but dang, this joey didn’t skip out on upper body strength either, and if there’s any doubt as to how jacked he is, check out what he did to that bucket.
Absolute Unit.

Did this cat just find an opportune spot to dig in for a nap, or did the cat make that divot in the bricks? Best to just let sleeping cats lie, I think.
Hail Kitten!

I really don’t know what sort of a ritual got interrupted here, and I really don’t want to know. Glad someone got a pic though.
Apocalypse Cow.

Even if this bovine didn’t cause the destruction that lay at its feet, it’s still a survivor, and that should earn it plenty of respect.
It Stirs.

And this is why you let sleeping cats sleep. Just look what happens when they wake up!
What. The. Cluck.

So, chickens have some kind of a ritual involving a spiral formation in a field, and I don’t even want to know what it’s all about.

A herd of sheep in the daylight is a pretty serene sight; a herd of sheep at night is much, much different.

Remember, when you go camping, you’re in someone else’s territory – and they’re well aware of who the interloper is.
Attempted Murder.

We already know that crows know how to use tools, and it looks like it’s only a matter of time until they figure out power tools as well.
Oh Yeah!

This tortoise’s Kool-Aid Man impression is as funny as it is terrifying – let’s face it, the thing had to claw and bite its way through some harsh conditions to make it through, and it did make it through.
Monster Mash.

Eat your heart out, Godzilla. Okay, sure, it’s just a baby turtle feasting on a berry, or is it practicing to take down larger fare?
Stark Stork.

The menacing look on this shoebill stork’s face makes you wonder where the fable about storks delivering babies ever came from. Fun fact, shoebills are nicknamed “death pelicans” and are known to eat things like eels, snakes, and even baby crocodiles, so yeah, give them some room.
You’ve Been Warned.

If horses bite, what do ghost horses do? Not sure I would stick around to find out.
Reputation Earned.

The Canada goose is already known for being an ornery, temperamental bird. They aren’t called cobra chickens for nothing! And this one seems to have a protection racket started.
Underworld Blues.

Okay, this guy is two heads shy of guarding the gates to the land of the dead, but he’s also got some serious boss fight vibes going on.
Heeeere’s Chicken.

If someone re-made The Shining , set in Kentucky, and focused on revenge against The Colonel, this chicken would be a star. And, frankly, I’d watch that.
Beach Blanket Nightmare.

It’s as if these gulls learned from that goose: “It would be a shame if someone were to break up your lunch.” Or, it’s a sign that Hitchcock was ahead of his time.
Hello, Clarice.

Quid pro quo, yes or no? Can you hear the lambs? Are they screaming?
Okay, I just kind of weirded myself out. I’ll stop now.
Yer Bucked.

So, you want to decorate your walls with his friends? You might want to re-think that, because the bill is about to come due.
Prison Break.

Apparently no cage can hold this pooch, so don’t even try. Talk about a dangerous customer.
Feeling Lucky?

Cats can be quite territorial, and apparently some won’t just mark it with scent, but will stare down anybody even thinking of coming near their balconies.
Keep. The Lid. On.

When this moth gets out of there, he’s going to be so, so angry. Don’t let his size fool you, he’s 100% rage.
Sweet N’ Sour.

This dog would never get bullied at school with his scowly friend at his side.
Nibble On This.

Where is he going to store his nuts for the winter? Wherever he wants to, and what are you going to do about it?

Clearly we’ve interrupted something here. It’s okay, there are other places to go.

No clown makeup or balloons needed, message received.

And if you’re not on the list, you’re not getting in. Period.
Death Comes To Santa’s Village.

The appetite for destruction is as clear as it gets. This cat is about to bring down Godzilla’s fury on an unsuspecting Christmas town.
Predators On The Hunt.

Is a group of five cats called a “pentagram”? Maybe it should be. Not only do they look possessed, but they appear to be working as a team now, which is not an encouraging sign.
Ambition.

Okay, so it’s tiny, but it could very well grow into something more serious, and with an attitude like that, look out.
Angry Birb.

I’ve seen enough Jean-Claude Van Damme movies to know what comes next, and it’s not pretty.
A Cabal Of Meerkats.

If you see five meerkats gathered together under a lamp, they can’t be doing anything other than plotting our demise, right?
Big Iceberg Energy.

If there’s a look that says “Get off my property,” this walrus has it down pat.
Infernal Beast.

I think maybe this is what one of those earlier cats managed to summon from the depths. so, good luck with that.
Containment Has Failed.

Pretty sure cardboard is just what cats train on. And if so, this one is ready for action. Just not anywhere near me, thanks.
