Pair of Curious Penguins Find Hidden Camera and Pull off the Ultimate Photobomb
If you're looking for something to brighten up your day, this video that @National Geographic shared on Facebook on Tuesday, December 19th is it! The video shows a couple of Emperor penguins who find a hidden camera, and they are very curious about it. They get up close and personal with it, and it results in an epic photobomb!
The video isn't very long and starts with one of the penguins looking directly down into the camera. National Geographic explains that the camera was left near the birds' home at Mawson Station in Antarctica. You can see the first bird walk up and kick the camera, resulting in the camera pointing up at their faces. The birds continue to check it out, and you can tell they are perplexed by what they just found in the snow. Make sure your volume's up!
Imagine being the researcher who first found and viewed this funny footage! My favorite part was at the end when they shook their heads, like they were saying, "Nope, this isn't food or a rock we can take home to our women!" @National Geographic commenters also got a kick out of the clip. Misty Sheldon wondered, "Was that a heck no at the end???" And I couldn't help but laugh at @Beada Rodlingova's comment, "Very similar to my first Zoom calls." and at @David Ratty who pointed out, "Looks like the cover of a rap album."

Funny Animal Moments That Will Make You Smile
Animal bloopers like this always make my day, so I thought I'd do a roundup of some of my favorites. These aren't all technically bloopers rather, funny situations that animals have found themselves in that will make you laugh at loud. Whether they're confused, excited, or trying to figure out who to deal with something new, it's fun to watch how animals deal with the unknown.
From the Nat Geo comments left about the ultimate penguin photobomb, it's clear that people love penguins, so check out this video of a penguin who was totally confused by a Halloween decoration at the Aquarium of the Pacific. And speaking of photobombs, here's a bird that ruined a couple's perfect selfie at the beach.
There's the anteater that took a tumble at the San Diego Zoo. And check out this dog that literally broke up a real 'cat fight', or the dog who was unsure about how to escape a kid's temper tantrum. This woman has an over-the-top reaction to feeding a zebra.
These are all funny examples of people and animal worlds colliding, and I can't wait to find more of them. They're my favorite kinds of videos to stumble across, and there are definitely plenty of them out there!
