You’ve heard people say "slow as a sloth" or "angry as a bull," but have you ever heard someone say "more surprised than an emu?" Unbeknownst to many people, there are more than just a handful of animals that are incredibly relatable to us. Check out some of these funny-looking animals; there’s a couple of reasons you might feel closer to them than ever before.
1. When you go out to dinner and your meal is the most expensive:
Recommended for you
This, my friends, is the slow loris. This little guy looks like he’s always guilty of something, and coincidentally, makes the same face that we make when we might’ve eaten one too many doughnuts.
2. When you realize how much that meal costs:
It’s all fun and games until you realize how much that burger actually costs, then it’s time to cry over another pint of ice cream. This chipmunk just realized the refills weren’t free.
3. How you look after the first semester of college:
Mom says it’s just water weight, but you and I both know the Freshman 15 is definitely a real thing. One thing we all eventually learn is just because you can eat whatever you want doesn’t mean you should. Case in point: this pufferfish.
4. When you try to look cool in front of people:
If you’re anything like me you’ve always wanted to look awesome when someone cute walks by. If you’re also anything like me, you probably look a little something like this horse. A+ for effort though.
5. When someone gives you a compliment even though you feel gross:
You may physically look repulsive and appalling, but that one compliment goes a long way. I like to imagine this pig is smiling because someone complimented his eyelashes.
6. How you feel after a solid nap:
A sloth’s entire life is kind of like one big giant nap. Even when they try to move, they’re barely moving at all. If you’re really good at hanging out, you’re more than qualified to be a sloth.
7. When you accidentally step in water and your sock gets wet:
If you have never been subjected to the horror of getting your sock wet, you’re one of the lucky few, unlike this baby orangutan. There’s nothing worse than having to walk around on the squishy catastrophe that is a wet sock and having to pretend everything is still fine.
8. When you finally get the joke:
In case you were ever wondering, yes, this is the face you make the first time you finally understand what everyone is talking about...except maybe minus the emu beak.
9. How you feel when you need a haircut:
You feel and probably look overgrown, but as long as you don’t look like this alpaca you’re doing just fine. By this point, the poor guy can’t even see anymore.
10. How you feel after your haircut:
What’s that? That little freaky thing? That’s not just a naked mole rat, that’s you when you get your hair cut too short. If your barber makes you look like this, it might be time to find a new one.
11. When the person who just sneezed on you says they’re really sick:
First of all, cover your mouth. Start practicing that Dracula cough. And secondly, a heads up would’ve been cool. When this type of thing happens, you’ll probably be as mortified as this monkey.
12. When you make a joke that you think is hysterical and nobody laughs:
This turtle clearly told one of the best jokes of the century and nobody laughed. But he still thinks it’s great, and so should you. You go, little guy.
13. When finally reach the surface after an intense dive:
You probably just had that moment of panic where you didn’t think you were going to make it back up to the surface in time. This whale doesn’t have that problem, but damn is it graceful.
14. When it's way too hot outside:
Sometimes when it’s really hot, you feel like you might melt. Kind of like this red panda, who clearly has already begun to melt. Hang in there, little fella.
15. When your meal comes out and you’re not even finished with the appetizers
You couldn’t believe your eyes when the mozzarella sticks came out, but now your burger's here too?! Feast like this little hamster, my friends.
So what do you think? Any animals that you feel more like? Let me know!
