Ugly Disappointing Animals

@disgustinganimals / disgustinganimals.tumblr.com

This is a place where I explain to animals and interested humans what they already know, disgusting animals need to stop popping up on the internet. They know what they did.

This cute platypus 

I fully understand why westerners thought the platypus was a hoax at first. I’m looking at a real live one moving around and it STILL looks fake.

The one thing that could have made them sound any more made up would have been if you said the boys have secret viper fangs that can absolutely fuck you up with venom, and they do, on their goddamn feet.

cursed platypus facts: * five (5) X chromosomes * only the left ovary works * produces milk but has no nipples. the mother just kind of sweats milk out their chest. nature is beautiful * was nearly called the “duckmole” * swims with its weird fish eyes and ears closed, hunting entirely by electroreception * born with teeth, but then they fall out

That beak looks fucking glued on

AND it glows in the dark now too.

( well, ok glows under UV light but STILL. It has no reason to)

Seriously why do these things use elastic and not something easier to adjust and safer for the cosplayer? Tragic. Barely usable.

The 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography competitors are up! Voting is closed and winners are going to be announced in about a week, but in the meantime you can enjoy all the funniest finalists here

[ID: A series of comedic wildlife photos featuring a levitating squirrel, a bear being attacked by a fish and a bear cub that seems to be waving at the camera, a raccoon appearing to smile and wave as well, two penguins one of which appears to be headless, a lion colliding face-first with a tree, an owl mid-jump from one stump to another, and some kind of wild ungulate being chased by a large bird, but shot in such a way that it looks like he is preparing for takeoff with his wings.]
