    LAZY DAY IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

    It's not all ferocious fighting and clawing your way to the top of the food chain in the animal kingdom - even the wildest of beasts need to take a break sometimes.

    Wildlife photographer Andy Rouse may have captured some exciting images in his time but this cute collection of dozing creatures is guaranteed to raise a smile.

    Andy snapped these sleepy animals on some of his many nature expeditions around the world - capturing drowsy moments in Africa, Alaska, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Canada, India, America and the UK.

    The result is a heart-melting menagerie of bears on their backs, cheetahs curling up for a doze, gorillas taking five, penguins pausing for a rest, snoozing seals, tired tigers, and lions (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)
