The animal kingdom inspires many wannabe wildlife photographers to pick up their cameras and try and capture the beauty of the wonders. 

But these amusing images prove that sometimes that doesn’t quite go to plan. 

The pictures were shared on Facebook group C*** Wildlife Photography, which celebrates bad wildlife snaps taken from around the world, and resurfaced on Bored Panda.
