You know who's funny? Nature. I mean, have you ever seen a squirrel that looks like it's plotting to take over the world? Welcome to Crap Wildlife Photography, a Facebook group where 451,000 Nat Geo freelance wannabes come together to share their most gloriously failed attempts at the craft. Here, nobody wants perfection—just terrible focus, awkward compositions, and animals caught in such unflattering poses that they'd sue if they saw the pictures. The worse the shot, the better the reception.

#25 At Seal Beach, Ca A Couple Weeks Ago
As some seagulls were curious about our stuff, I felt this was more of a photo op, so I was busy taking pics of them digging in our bags. My wife then comes running in to save the day and shoosh them away and the camera caught this wonderful moment. Looks like she’s being attacked by giant birdpest.
