God and his Humor

I am reading a new book called " Beautiful Outlaw' by John Eldredge.   It is on the personality of Jesus.  One thing that has struck me is the Humor of God.  Sometimes we look at the scripture with such depth and seriousness that we might be missing some of God's humor in the Word.  If he didn't have a playfulness in his personality, why would he have created a Axolotl, Proboscis monkey, Alpaca or a red panda.  I am looking at the scripture with a new light today,  plus I wonder what non-believers think about us and our seriousness of life that we keep humor so guarded in church.
