It’s Mo-Vember! Take a Look at The Magnificent Facial Hair on These Animals

For some glorious reason (or not, depending on your perspective we suppose), November has become a month where people attempt to grow the most glorious mustache that they can. Started by a group of friends in 1999 as a charity fundraiser in Australia, “Mo-vember” has become a way for people to bond for a month over handlebars and fu manchus.

Never to be outshone, there are tons of animals that sport some pretty rockin’ facial hair themselves. Seriously, you’ve never seen a mustache as resplendent as the one sported by the Emperor Tamarin. You. Have. Not.

In honor of this hilarious and hirsute heyday, we’ve compiled a collection of a few of our favorite extra-furry friends who are doing the best impressions of firefighters, outlaws and 70s newscasters ever. If you were on the fence about participating in Mo-vember yourself, a few of these may inspire you…or not, a couple of them are pretty impossible to beat.

This frog is so metal, even his mustache is spiked.

If this dog is not named “Groucho Barks” then an opportunity has been sorely missed.
