Robert Pattinson, Justin Bieber and more stars have taken to the press to voice their ire with the paparazzi – and this little guy knows just how they feel.

Tily, a 2-month-old Bengal tiger cub, was just looking to enjoy an afternoon to himself in his enclosure at the Fundación Refugio Salvaje animal refuge in San Salvador on Thursday. Instead, he had to spend it fending off photographers looking to snap shots of his adorable mug.

While we have to admit, we'd be tempted to click some mementos of our own if we got anywhere near Tily and that purr-recious face, the cub had its own ideas about how to best handle the impromptu photo shoot – with his teeth.

We've all been there.

Your mom's nagging you to hop into the tub and clean up, but what do you really want to do? Make a mess – and that's exactly what this 18-month-old elephant did.

A resident of the ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in England, Asian elephant Scott promptly returned to his enclosure's sand pit after being hosed down. The mischievous pachyderm rolled around in the pit, covering his entire body in sand, before taking it one step further and splattering sand all over himself with his trunk.

We've all been there, fella.

While climbing a tree at a Ya'an panda refuge in the Sichuan province of China, a giant panda decided he needed a bit of a breather. And what better place to take a nap than ... right here?

Like an Olympic gymnast on a balance beam, the adorable creature managed to hang out – and hang on – after plopping down for a quick break.

The bigger you are, the harder you fall!

An adorable 32-day-old lion club learned that the hard way on Friday while enjoying playtime with a mini-marsupial at China's Guaipo Manchurian Tiger Park. Though the monkey, only 16-days-old, might be much smaller in stature than his big cat companion, that hasn't stopped the two from becoming fast friends.

Both baby beasts share a need to be fed by a keeper after their mothers were unable to breastfeed them – and isn't that the secret to friendship? This calls for a dinner date with your BFF.
