Funniest animal photos of 2012

Image sharing website Acidcow.com has amassed a huge selection of animal pictures throughout the course of 2012.

They’re the funniest animal photos of 2012, the maniac moggies and marvelous mutts who have brightened up our year with their utterly barmy exploits

And it’s not just household pets which have brought a smile to out faces – the dogs and cats are joined by a host of bonkers animals including horses, monkeys and even a goat.

There’s the dog that looks just dandy with a set of painted on eyebrows, a playful pup who can’t wait to show off its pole-dancing skills and another, which when viewed from a certain angle looks like quite something else entirely.
