This guy may induce laughter or fear, BUT HE IS CUTE IN HIS OWN SPECIAL WAY. That bug-eyed smile is a winner.

With teeny heads that are reminiscent of maple tree helicopters atop long, skinny necks, these animals are natural goofs. We're not laughing at you, gerenuks, we're laughing with you.

13. This hyrax riding a tortoise.

*They see me rollin, they hatin* This lil buddy knows how to live in style! BUT half his cuteness is aided by the tortoise, giving him spot number 13 on our list.

12. The Silkie Chicken

11. The Beluga Whale

The Beluga whale is one of the silliest sea animals. Plus, 'Beluga' itself is a funny word, seriously, just try saying it without smiling.

Who could be more beloved than a real-life Squidward? A REAL LIFE MUPPET. LOOK AT HIM. The potoo is one of the most animated birds, with a range of expressions that will make you do the snorting-whilst-staring-at-your-computer-screen laugh that we are all guilty of.

5. Any group of llamas

More than one llama and suddenly you have what looks like a punk rock album cover. Llamas, you're trying to be hardcore BUT YOU JUST LOOK LIKE SILLIES.

4. The Quokka

3. Basset Hounds Running

The transformation that occurs when a basset hound gallops off is one of beauty. Running basset hounds, we salute you with third place!

2. The Inca Tern

The classier the mustache, the sillier the animal. Inca Tern, you have made it to second place! But what can beat a fancy mustache?
