20 Insanely Magnificent and Hilarious Creatures Caught on Film

Humpback Whale and Dolphin

Captured by Lori Mazzuca in Kauai, Hawaii, USA. An unexplained interaction between a dolphin and a humpback whale. A lovely collaboration between two species.

Alaskan Brown Bear

Captured by John L. Morrow in McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, Alaska, USA. The bear was enjoying a day off in the rain. The photographer captured a priceless shot of an animal that appreciates his personal space.

Raccoon

Captured by Mark Farag, age 16 in Southern New Jersey, USA. The photographer considers himself to be “a serious amateur photographer”. It’s amazing how a person at this age could capture something so beautiful on film.

Baboon

Captured by Don Johnson at Phoenix Zoo, Arizona, USA. Baboons have acquired that name for a reason but, on this day the photographer captured the true joy and happiness that these animals feel when their among friends.

Lion Cub

Photographed by Conor Lachlan Myhrvold, age 17 at Moremi Wildlife Reserve, Okavango Delta, Botswana. The cubs were isolated in the environment so this may have been the first interaction between human and cub.

Brown Bears

Bob Ettinger captured this hilarious meeting of the minds in Geographic Harbor, AK, USA. The Nature and Wildlife Photographers of Long Island are focused on protecting the wildlife and surrounding areas to prolong the stay of many of these amazing creatures.

Rockhopper Penguins

The Neck, Saunders Island, Falkland Islands by Laura Crawford Williams was a once in a lifetime shot. The antics of these animals happened so quickly that the photographer “had little time to think.”

Snow Monkey and Baby

Jigokudani Yaen-koen, Nagano, Japan located at 2800 feet in a mountainous region of Japan by Toshio Hagiwara was a tougher than life kind of a shot. The animals had endured such harsh surroundings that it was amazing that these animals cooperated.

Bottlenose Dolphins

Captured by Tobias Bernhard in Transvaal, South Africa. These dolphins were captured fishing in exceptionally large surf. The photographer had to capture the shot quickly so he didn’t capsize in his inflatable boat.
