Remember the simple joy of splashing in mud puddles or the bathtub when you were a kid? You may still partake of this simple pleasure, particularly if you have kids or grandkids of your own! Our wildlife friends may or may not splash about for pleasure, but it sure does look like fun.
Here are five fun photos of animals making a big splash from submissions to our annual Picture This: Your Great Outdoors photo contest. The 2018 contest opens soon, so stay tuned!
