When it comes to 'America's Got Talent', fans can always expect to see musical talent, dancers, and magicians. But the cherry on the cake is often animal acts, as the audience and the judges often look forward to seeing what our feathered and fur friends bring to the table. And while some knock it out of the park, not all animal acts go according to plan! As per the current season's synopsis -- "The 17th season of “America’s Got Talent” returns with a new set of aspiring performers looking to compete for the ultimate $1 million prize. Executive producer Simon Cowell returns to the star-studded judging panel with global fashion icon Heidi Klum, fan-favorite comedian Howie Mandel and acclaimed actress and international superstar Sofia Vergara. The dynamic Terry Crews returns as host. This season promises to deliver some of the wildest acts to ever grace the “AGT” stage."

So far, the new season of AGT has seen some interesting animal acts. While the Amazing Veranica and her Incredible Friends blew the judges away, Pepino and Goat Yoga seemed to have gone in the other direction entirely. And now, with Week 2 auditions here, it looks like there is a new chick on the block -- we mean that literally.
