Wildlife photography is an incredibly demanding art that requires much more than one would initially imagine. Just picture yourself sitting partially submerged in water with mosquitoes buzzing around you, enduring sweltering heat for hours on end, or spending a freezing night in the woods, all while remaining quiet and still to gain the trust of wild animals and capture the perfect shot. On top of that, one needs to be extremely fortunate for the animal to even appear. Wildlife photography is a blend of patience, time, skill, love for animals, and luck. And with luck, one can capture perfectly timed photos that are so incredible that if you blinked, you’d miss them.
We’ve compiled 50 examples of perfectly timed photos of funny animals that may appear to be solely the result of luck. However, there’s much more to it than that, as the popular saying goes: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Check out our amazing and fascinating compilation of animal pictures below.
