45 Funniest Jokes About Animals

Not only is your pet your furriest friend (hopefully), they're also your funniest.

Are animals funny? Absolutely! Koko, the famous sign-language-learning gorilla, was a notorious prankster, apparently once tying her trainer's shoelaces together and signing "Chase." And then there's the 2016 study out of Northwestern University found that rats will giggle when they're tickled (as long as they're in the mood), signaling that, hey, maybe they have some sense of humor, too. So while animals are often looked at for being cute companions, they can also be downright hilarious. But animals are at their funniest when they're the butt of the joke—which is why we've rounded up the the best animal jokes, of all time, ever.

From silly, domesticated fur balls we live with and love (cats, dogs) to creatures we'd rather admire from afar (lions, wolves), these animal jokes are guaranteed to warrant some uproarious laugher from all kinds. Would the animals find these jokes as funny as we do? We don't know—why don't you ask one of them and find out? (If they stare back at you with a blank expression, waiting for you to feed them or scratch their bellies, that probably means "yes.")
