33. Giant Sloth
Well, all sloths are pretty funny, but this one is big-time funny, especially when used as an insult. Now extinct, but it apparently grew as large as an elephant.

Funny Animals
36. Cuckoo Bird
I'm not crazy, but it's really a bird. Known for laying its eggs in another bird's nest and abandoning it to go party while the tricked foster parents raise the voracious monster chick, which isn't very funny.

The largest and only vegetarian bat, it is also known as a flying fox and loves a variety of tiny, sweet bananas called "fruit bat bananas" in the Pacific Islands.
Funny Animals
39. Nutria
Sounds like a health product, but it's really a bad-tempered, invasive swamp rodent related to a musk rat.
