No one is arguing that animals are a bunch of weirdos. Cats are notorious for defying physics with their bungee-jumps across the room, sloths trek to the toilet, and crocodiles are known for crying their eyes out. But these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to animals acting crazy.

Don’t believe me? Here at Bored Panda, we collected some of the most peculiar bits of photographic evidence that prove we ain’t lying. The collection below will feature some of the most ‘seriously?’ animal and wildlife pictures that beg for an explanation.

Like, how on earth that seagull is riding a fish, and what was that ginger whisker thinking while levitating on a car door?

    It’s no secret that most animals are a bunch of weirdos. But cats deserve the crown in ensued bizzarity, thanks to their goofy temper and unpredictable demeanor. Previously, Bored Panda talked to Ingrid Johnson, the certified cat behavior consultant who runs “Fundamentally Feline,” to find out the expert-proved reasons why cats do such weird stuff. 

    Ingrid said that it's due to the fact that their “bodies are extremely flexible and they are naturally curious yet cautious, so they get themselves into precarious situations quite readily. Cats also like to be up high, which is why you see the cat in the shower caddy.”Ingrid also said that much of feline behavior that looks funny and goofy to us comes from their natural instincts. “Cats like small, confined spaces. They like to hide and feel safe. That is why we often see them squished into seemingly uncomfortable spots.”

    This is why they like cardboard boxes: because cardboard can actually assist a cat in maintaining their "thermal neutral zone." The cat behaviorist explained further: “since cardboard is insulating, it helps cats maintain their body temperature of 100-102.5 degrees easily without having to expel much energy." So, it turns out even the weirdest quirks have some kind of explanation.

    Tiger was pregnant, babies all died at birth, tiger was depressed. Piglets mom died at birth - they tried a thing and it worked!

    This is usually done when a tiger has lost her cubs, due to still birth. The cub's skins are strapped to the piglets so that the tiger can smell her cub's scent, and she is able to feed and wean them. It helps the tiger to stop her milk naturally and also helps prevent her pining away for the lost cubs. It is a kindness.

    This is Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand. They regularly swap tiger cubs and piglets to be raised by the other species. It’s a publicity stunt for the public. The Animal Welfare Institute reported in 2004 that the zoo had been using tigers and elephants in circus shows, including tigers leaping through rings of fire, walking across a double tightrope, parading around a ring on hind legs, and riding on horseback. AWI reported "potentially dangerous human-tiger and human-elephant close interaction", "bizarre multi-species enclosures", tigers being struck with steel poles by trainers and implications that tigers were being bred for export to China.

    When her litter died and she was depressed, these piglets brought her through.

    I remember reading about this - she was so depressed over the loss of her still born kittens that they did this for her - she was happy, they were happy .... motherhood crosses many boundaries...

    This is done with success with sheep who's lambs have died. They skin the dead lamb and put it over a lamb who's mother has died or rejected it. In most cases, the ewe will accept the lamb as it's own.

    That doesn't look like a live tiger. It isn't looking at the pig in its face.
