Sometimes you just have to see the funny side of life - and these animals certainly do.
Following the example of the 'happypotamus' featured in the Mail recently, there are lots of other creatures which also boast a funny bone.
Amazingly, scientists believe chimps, dogs and even rats are capable of laughter - and that the ability to laugh came before speech in humans.
From delighted dolphins to amused apes, something's certainly put a smile on these animals' faces...
