We all remember that iconic Ellen DeGeneres Oscar selfie that broke the internet. It was the moment that defined a generation of photobombing! But as much as we love our celebrities, there is something uniquely hilarious about an animal getting in on the action. From cheeky giraffes to a very professional beluga whale minister, these creatures know exactly how to steal the spotlight. Whether you're looking for more hilarious pet moments or just need a good laugh, these photobombing animals are here to deliver.

Ellen's Oscar selfie is now legendary and since then there has been a huge number of great photobombs, even some including Queen Elizabeth II. But as nice as it might be to have a celebrity pop up unexpectedly in your pic, there's nowt so cute as when an animal does it. It's all about being in the perfect spot at the right time. Are you ready to see some animals who were determined to get in on the photo?
