Atlantic puffins collecting flowers for nesting material, Newfoundland, Canada - Jul 2013
These hilarious pictures illustrate perfectly why Atlantic puffins are called 'clowns of the sea'.
Wildlife photographer Megan Lorenz snapped this lovely sequence of images last month while visiting Newfoundland, Canada.
Her wonderful work also appears to show a seemingly romantic side to the seabirds - as they go about collecting colourful wildflowers for use as nesting material.
A highlight includes one bird parading around with a purple flower of which Megan says: "He walked around with the large purple flower in his beak and seemed very proud that he had such a prize to take back to his mate."
Another picture shows an inquisitive puffin tackling a hapless photographer's tiny camera.
Megan explains: "I just got back from a wonderful trip to Newfoundland, it was my third time but nature always holds surprises in store and I was able to witness behaviour I've never seen before.
"From June until the end of August the Atlantic puffins nest in their burrows on offshore seastacks which are inaccessible to visitors. The Puffins were very busy collecting nesting material and it was a pleasure to just sit and watch these comical birds.
"From past experience I know that the best chances of good photographs are to be patient and wait until some of the puffins land onshore. As I was sitting at the edge of a cliff, one puffin landed very close to me and started tearing up moss, picking grass and then the wild iris that grows in large numbers in Newfoundland.
"Puffins are also referred to as Sea Parrots and Clowns Of the Sea and their behaviour always makes me laugh - but this was the first time I've ever seen a romantic Puffin.
"I titled the image "Making Amends" as I imagined he was presenting his mate with a prese...

What are you looking at?!
Globe-trotting couple Chanel Cartell and Stevo Dirnberger have taken a series of hilarious animal mug-shots during their travels.
The series includes curious sheep, hungry rabbits, inquisitive cows and drooling bulldogs.
Chanel and Stevo quit their jobs 14 months ago and have been travelling the world ever since. The couple have visited 31 countries so far, and been papping animals along the way.
Chanel and Stevo said: "In order to get the style of picture we were after, we would use a wide-angle lens and we'd need to get really close to the subjects, which is tricky in itself. You then use the camera's continuous shooting function, and hope that the eyes remain in focus - this is the most important part."

What is your cat thinking when it looks at you?
These amazing portraits seem to show a range of emotions, according to photographer Andrew Marttila.
The 29-year-old Philadelphia-based pet photographer and self proclaimed "crazy cat man" says: "This series on emotions is to disprove the stereotype that cats are cold and aloof.
"I want to show that cats are capable of a range of emotion, from serious to silly and everything in between."
He has captioned his images with the cat's name and what he believes they were feeling when the portrait was taken.
Examples include a cat called Una displaying 'innocence', Pudge looking 'exhausted' and Grendel appearing to be 'seething' after getting snow on its head.

Glad He Wore Brown Trousers.. Welshman's Close Encounter With Inquisitive Male Leopard
If an expression could ever define fear it would be the one on the face of Welshman Gareth Owen - who came face-to-face with a leopard.
The 44-year-old data administrator was on a Masai Mara safari in January when he had the close encounter of the big cat kind.
The leopard had padded over to a jeep being driven by Exodus Travels guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein.
Wimbledon-based Paul explains: "I whispered 'This is not usual', although my fingers were twitching on the ignition as the dappled assassin crouched right next to the back seats. For five minutes the leopard's head oscillated to and fro just inches from our motionless Welshman.
"Gareth said nothing, barely in control of his faculties. Lions and cheetahs are known to inspect vehicles playfully but a male leopard - 'Pinker-nose' - never. Eventually after seemingly wanting to get better acquainted with Gareth he strode off, his beat taking to him to the next Kicheche landcruiser to repeat his examination.
"For a moment my heart was in my mouth, I had not seen this before either, but I also realised that this was something not likely to happen again and I gorged myself on the moment."
Gareth, who lives near Zurich in Switzerland, says: "So initially I was mesmerised by the leopard, it was staring at me so intensely, it was almost hypnotising. But then I slowly became very nervous. I understand that vehicles are safe because wild animals don't realise the people in them are separate things from the vehicle itself. but I wondered if that particular leopard had figured it out.

Wildlife photographer captured the critter not being shy in its attempts to snag a wintry snack in London's Hyde Park on Saturday (1 Feb).
Jack says: "This grey squirrel was very confident and came super-close to me. It was after the peanuts I had trying to feed to the parakeets. At one point it even touched the lens of my camera."

A juvenile Blackbird photographed at Folly Wildlife Rescue centre as part of the Baby Birds art project. Blackbirds are, of course, common throughout the UK. They like to nest in garden hedges and bushes, which as the weather turns in Spring are attacked by gardeners which often leads to the birds being disturbed. Of all the bird species bought into rescue centres, blackbirds are one of the most common. They are inquisitive, yet calm birds though and do not mind being photographed.
Baby Bird project by Gavin Parsons, Britain - Dec 2011

An adorable project shows the baby birds of Britain in the first days of their lives.
Wildlife photographer Gavin Parsons has worked closely with UK rescue centres to capture chicks bought in for care.
He has spent the last three years photographing some of the baby birds bought into Folly Wildlife Rescue in Sussex and the RSPCA Wildlife Rescue Centre West Hatch in Somerset.
Each year hundreds of hatchlings are bought to rescue centres either after their nests have been disturbed or when they have been mistakenly picked up by well-meaning members of the public after they have fledged.

Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) photography contest, Britain - 04 Jan 2012

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

Curious beluga whale presses face against side of tank at the Mystic Aquarium, Connecticut, America - 26 Feb 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Nicole Perkins/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1301984e )
I Want To Get To Nose You
This inquisitive beluga whale ended up with a squashed nose when he tried to get closer to visitors at his aquarium.
The curious eight-year-old creature, called Juno, swam straight up to the glass when he spotted people watching him from the other side.
And he caused much amusement when he pressed his entire face up to the pane, flattening his nose and chin as he struggled to get a better look.
The unusual sight was captured on camera by Nicole Perkins at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, America.
The 30-year-old, from Groton, Connecticut, said friendly Juno is particularly popular with visitors.
She explained: "Juno is very interactive with guests.
"On this occasion he came over to check out some trinkets I had with me - shiny beads, a slinky, money and a set of keys.
"He swam up to me, watched for a second, then pressed his head on the glass before backing off and watching again.
"The visitors get really excited when they see him and they all want to be photographed with him.
"He really is a blast to play with."
Juno measures 11 feet, nine inches in length and weighs around 1,320 lbs.
He is currently one of three belugas who share a one-acre outdoor habitat, called Arctic Coast, at Mystic Aquarium.
Born in July 2002, the friendly whale usually lives at SeaWorld, Orlando, but was loaned to the Mystic Aquarium in January last year in the hope that he would breed.
