derpy

There's nothing that we love more than our pets. Absolutely nothing. In every situation, no matter what they're doing, whether they're being cuties asking for pettings, or whether they're being the biggest hooligans, we love them forever and always. 

Catching pictures of them being total derps will always make us laugh. Every time we accidentally come across these pictures on our phones or computers, we laugh anew. They're some of the first pictures that we show people of our pets just to get them to laugh too. And it always works. It always makes everyone smile.

That's why the subreddit r/AnimalsBeingDerps is one of our ultimate favorites, because it gives us the bestest of derpiest animals. To share the smiles with you guys, we've brought you some of our favorite derps from the subreddit. 

Happos, the hippo version of happiness. Yes, we just made it up, and no, we aren't particularly proud of it. 

Hippos! Also known as possibly nature's most adorable murder machines. That's right. According to BBC, an estimated 500 people per year are killed by this giant and angry blob. They are known to be aggressive and very dangerous. But as we watch vids or look at pictures of baby hippos, they look so derpy and adorable, we can't help but melt. 

If we ever do come across a hippo in the wild, we will be cautious. Until then, we can admire these cute (but deadly) animals from afar. 

There's nothing like a derpy animal collection to help brighten up a Monday! 

Even though times are odd and we are working from home these days, that doesn't change the fact that Monday is Monday and that Monday's are terrible. 

So enjoy this pick-me-up while wearing your favorite pajamas and laying back on a nice comfy chair or the sofa. You deserve a bit of ridiculousness with a sprinkle of luxury.

The sillier the cat -- the cuter. 

We're sure cats demand they be taken seriously...but it's sort of hard to take them seriously, when they're being so derpy, sleepy and adorable! 

Not that we mind any. Bring on the goofiness! 

We'll always have a special place in our hearts for all the derpy derps. 

Twitter user @baby_b0nes asked the Twitterverse to post the least flattering images they have of their pets and this was the response:

Few animals have the power to make us smile quite like alpacas. There's just something about these cute animals that's difficult not to like. Don't believe us? Then check out this list we have compiled for you.
