However, not all animals are perfect! There is an entire category of annoying things that animals do call “animal misbehavior.”

When you’re trying to enjoy a nice picnic in the park, and there’s an army of ants marching all over your food, it’s safe to say that they are pretty annoying.

Not only do they get into your food, but they also contaminate everything with their tiny little bodies.

2. Cats

Cats are probably the most popular pet in the world and for good reason. They’re cute, cuddly and they have a really cool hunting instinct. However, cats can also be extremely annoying. They love to scratch furniture, they like to steal your food and they always seem to be meowing for no reason.

3. Cockroaches

5. Dogs

Dogs are probably the most common household pet and they can be very annoying. They bark at everything, they jump all over you and they always want to be around you. Dogs are also known for their smell which is oftentimes unbearable.

6. Fleas

Fleas are annoying because they bite. A lot of pets can’t stand flea bites so their owners have to deal with these tiny little bugs. They also jump around and move quickly which is what makes them hard to catch.

Flea bites can cause skin allergies and even infections in your pet.

7. Flies

Flies are probably the most annoying animals on the planet. They buzz around your head and land on your food. They also spread disease so they’re basically the worst.

Flies have an interesting life cycle that starts as eggs or larvae before turning into adults with wings and then laying more eggs. They can live for about a month as adults depending on temperature conditions.

8. Canada Geese

The Canada Goose is known to be territorial, grumpy, and aggressive. Walking past them in the park often ends up with a goose chasing you down and hissing at you! They also honk at night, which is terribly annoying.

Grizzly Bears are also known to make loud noises when they’re angry or upset. They may not look like it at first glance but these animals have a lot of personality and attitude! If you happen to be in their territory just be careful because grizzlies are unpredictable.

10. Humans

7We are the most annoying species on Earth! Humans run around and do whatever they want without any regard for other animals or nature at all.

We cut down trees, destroy habitats of fish in rivers by damming them up, release toxic chemicals into the soil that contaminate the groundwater, poison trees and plants with pesticides so they don’t have to deal with annoying insects anymore, and build giant cities where thousands of animals get killed every day by vehicles.

Hi, I’m Garreth. Living in South Africa I’ve had the pleasure of seeing most of these animals up close and personal. When I was younger I always wanted to be a game ranger but unfortunately, life happens and now at least I get to write about them and tell you my experiences.
