Crap Wildlife Photography needs no introduction. The internet’s powerhouse founded five years ago as a Facebook group has gone from a couple of thousand members to boasting a solid 411.3K fanbase. It all started when the group went totally viral in January 2020 after being featured on Bored Panda.
Today, it’s one of the most exciting communities on social media which has people sharing weirdly wonderful and impossibly crappy photographs of wildlife. No perfect shots, no well-thought compositions, no good timing: crap photography celebrates the exact opposite.
So get your popcorn ready to scroll through the freshest batch of wildlife photos with deliberately zero quality standards. And after you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts with the same excellence in crappiness here, here, and here.

#44 On The Way To Work Today I Looked At My Dashboard With My Toy Dinosaurs On It, And I Thought, I Don’t Remember Buying A Lizard
I HAVE A LIZARD IN MY CAR! When I got to work it was over by the passenger side door. I thought great, I’ll just catch it and let it go. So I did catch it, but as I was walking to put the little guy in a bush it wiggled free and ran up the inside of my long sleeve shirt! Great, I have a lizard on me. I took off my shirt, it wasn’t in the shirt and I tried to find it on my tee shirt. I couldn’t find it so I put my shirt back on. Then I felt it on my shoulder, I took the shirt back off and it ran to the front of my tee shirt. I caught it and let it go….

He’s a male Anna’s hummingbird and he’s a total dick. He sits in my lemon tree and guards the feeders and chases off any other hummingbird that he catches trying to feed. He does such a good job of this that he’s FAT. You ever see a fat hummingbird before? Well now you have.
