They say never work with animals, and this hilarious gallery of photographers getting harassed by their subjects might be why.

The funny snaps show a host of photographers from around the world, who are willing to do just about anything for the perfect picture — whether that be tussling with a seal or withstanding a sharp shove from an angry gorilla.

Other brave snappers can be seen getting up close and personal with leopards and great white sharks as they persist in getting the ultimate wildlife shot. (Caters News)
