While the Coronavirus was still hovering over everything, Animalia was unaffected enough to allow them to live life without limiting themselves too much, but not without keeping up with the times. But that didn't mean that there was plenty of funny things going on in Animalia and its colonies.

Dean, Nzynga, and Afia were meeting their new member of their herd who was part of Project White Lily. When they found him, he was seemingly working on his poses in one of the mirrored rooms of Claw Coliseum. He had stripped down to his gym shorts and, judging by the front of said shorts, he was enjoying his new form and his seemingly rampant narcissism. So Afia, who had won the IAC Ultra-heavyweight competition twice in a row, decided to get his attention by grabbing his waist from behind and throwing him over his shoulder. While he wasn't hurt, he was very surprised, both with the "attack" and with who was his assigned female for Homosexual Anonymous.

Nate and Shuixing, after the mandatory wait period, managed to get back to Heiya Island just fine only to meet the 135 girls that had been rescued from the human trafficking ring. What was most surprising, and funny, about that was the simple fact that several girls seemed to be drawn to Nate. Shuixing didn't seem to mind too much, much to Nate's confusion. But Heiya Island was currently dealing with another headache similar to the first one.
They were now dealing with an influx of males from another human trafficking ring similar to the first one. While it was considerably smaller than the first group, and smaller still after guardians were found for some of them, they were still left with over 50 guys. The report from Animalia Ambassadoria, alongside the official report from Interpol and Asian authorities, caused many guys who read/saw the story to be envious in a hilarious way.

There were quite a few hilarious moments from the video game tournaments, mainly in cases of people who give the L-sign in real life to their camera only to be killed shortly after, for example. But there were a few cases where, according to one reporter, 'in some videogames, you can get hurt.'.
One guy was hauled in on a stretcher with both of his arms in slings, but it was how he injured his arms that made it hilarious.
"He was doing that Beat Saber game and went with an expert-level song." said one of the guys bringing him in.
"Was he really that good at it?" asked the receptionist.
"No, he was trying to impress an Animalian." said the second guy who brought him in. "His overall score when he completed the song was also not too impressive."
"I see." said the receptionist, jotting down the appropriate notes for his paperwork.

A final funny thing actually happened between Beacon and Allura. Beacon was showing Allura about black light paint when Allura accidently got some on Beacon. But because was currently experiencing mood swings, she was unprepared for the surge of male hormones that hit her, specifically the kind that say 'Don't get mad, get even.'. The end result was a black light "paint fight" between the two of them which ended up covering the canvas in paint splatters. Beacon's parents weren't too happy about this and made them clean up the mess they made, but there was a visiting art teacher who said that the end result looked like Jackson Pollock. Beacon's mother, understandably, said, "Who the *bleep* is Jackson Pollock?".
But as it turned out, Jackson Pollock was a *bleep*ing famous painter, whose painting were worth a *bleep*ing amount of money. While it wasn't directly created by Pollock, the painting that Beacon and Allura had created generated a lot of interest in art circles, especially since it used black light paints.
