We humans hate Mondays. It is not a big surprise that this brown bear also doesn’t find Mondays so amusing.

He was catching salmons, and he just started showing hilarious range of emotions. We guess everyone hates Mondays.

He seems like that salesman who knocks on the door and stays there as long as you don’t buy his product.

Well, it appears as if the seal was laughing on a double-meaning joke told by his friend. We’ll want to know what was that joke.

The facial expression of this sea otter tells you that she has heard the biggest gossip of her life.

Although the photographer captured the sea otter grooming itself, we’d still like to think that it was shocking for her to hear that gossip. Who knows the gossip was “Otter Senior cheated on Otter Sandra.”
