Animals--they're just like us! They're afraid of humans (except when they attack), they take care of their kids (except when they eat them) and they have large antlers growing out of their foreheads. But the way animals are most like people is that the majority of them are jerks. Just check out this collection of our furry and finny friends showing no concept of fair play. Or maybe, like most jerks, they know what it is and just don't care.
1. Darth Maul
Let's start off with a relatively understandable case before we reach distilled animal-dickery. This bear's just hanging out on a Polish talk show when he notices a lady and then does what bears are gonna do. We're not saying the trainer should have known better, we're just saying it's a bad idea to bring a karate chop to a bear fight.
2. Hoof vs. Woof
A little less clear is why this supposed herbivore is pummeling a dog. Was the dog minding its own business? Trying to chase the deer off? Or take it down for food? If that's the case, you knew the risks when you thought to tackle a deer without the rest of the pack, dog. Besides, that ruminant doesn't look sick and it's plainly not weak.
3. Formal Scare
The whole point of penguins is to have some animals that don't know human beings are terrible, so we can walk up to them and say, "Oh, Mr. Penguin, you are adorable in your formal wear with your little stubby wings and fat torpedo body! Will you be my friend forever?" and then you sing a duet about friendship. What's not supposed to happen is this needle-beaked bird getting all, "Back up, man! You in my space!"
4. Bottlenecked
A little territorial behavior is understandable, but what happens when animals start sabotaging their friends for no good reason? Watch these dolphins and just try to pretend the T-bone is anything other than a deliberate joke to make Flipper's podmate look stupid.
5. Give 'em shell
Even though this turtle has plenty of room, he decides to let his shellmate know who the alpha is.
6. Revenge of the Birds
But for a real jerk move in the field of turtle ninjitsu, watch this bird. First, he pauses to make sure his owner is watching, because he has mischief planned. Tell us he isn't smiling as he dropkicks his turtle buddy into what could have been a gruesome landing. The bastard even checks his handiwork.
7. Bully Bison

Thanks to our buddies at GifBin for the supply of images! Or...videos. It's a blurry line.
