13 Animals That Look Like Celebrities By Ariel Kana [48 more lists]

They say that pets grow to resemble their human companions, but sometimes animals can look surprisingly similar to people that they've presumably never crossed paths with. The furry, feathered and scaly fauna in this list each resembles a celebrity who may or may not be flattered by the comparison. In some cases, the personalities of the critters reflects those of their famous counterparts. In others, the wild doppelgangers share distinctive physical characteristics, like hair and eyes. In every case, the comparison is humorous and even a tad insightful.

Are some of these images altered to more closely match the celebrity (or the animal)? Probably, but that doesn't make them any less entertaining.

Ron Swanson Cat

The similarity is so eerie, it has become its own meme. Check out Cats That Look Like Ron Swanson for many, many more. (BTW, the cats look like Ron Swanson, not the actor who plays him, Nick Offerman. Especially when he shaves the mustache.)

See?

Larry David Eagle

This American bald eagle bears a striking physical resemblance to Larry David, whose wit may be equally sharp as the hooked beak of the once-endangered avian.
