Everyone knows cats require 23 hours of sleep so they’re fully rested for … whatever it is they do the rest of the day. This whiskery old kitteh was just trying to have a snooze over a glass of orange juice when someone got all up in his face with a video camera. How invasive. Sheesh. Now I know how Angie and Brad must feel. [Huffington Post]
Are you over screaming goats yet? It’s okay, neither are we. But in the event that you’d like a new hilarious animal sound/pop song mashup, we present to you Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie” with kitten backup singers. Who knew JTims sounded so much like an angry cat? [HyperVocal]
Arne Fredriksen needed to take a break from his engineering studies, so the 23-year-old Norwegian started playing around in Photoshop. The result is a series of whimsical animal hybrids, like this pug-gorilla. He’s also made a peng-whale, duck-horse (terrifying to Amelia, I’m sure) and a guinea lion. “A friend of mine has some guinea pigs, and we used to joke about how harmless these animals are,” explained Fredriksen. “They don’t look intimidating at all.” Pair a guinea pig head with a lion body, though, and everything changes. Check out a few more of Fredriksen’s awesome creations after the jump. [Metro]
This adorable little rhino is named Anna. She was born just one week ago at the Lion Country Safari in Florida, and had no idea how to properly wallow in the mud until her mom showed her. Luckily for us, the whole thing was caught on camera. And it is adorable. [YouTube via Laughing Squid]
Frisky readers, you know I would never steer you wrong where adorable animals are concerned. And that’s why I’m telling you to hop the first plane the Australia and find a koala to hug. Snuggle the shit out of that koala. It might be the last chance you ever get. We knew the koala population had been chopped nearly in half by the STD chlamydia, but the marsupials are also suffering from koala retrovirus, KoRV, an “AIDs-like virus” that decimates their immune system. In some areas of Australia, koalas are more badly infected than other areas, but a University of Queensland study last year suspected that “ultimately” all koala bears will have chlamydia. Together the chlamydia and KoRV mean koalas on the path to extinction. Scientists are working hard — overtime, one hopes — to map the koala genome and ascertain how best to protect the little guys. In the mean time, you should go snuggle a koala while you still can … and both of the Hemworth brothers, if you can shake it. [Guardian UK] [Photo of a koala from Shutterstock]
This is not a video of an unwilling cat being assaulted by a sloth with its long, creepy claws in its face. This is a video of a cat being smothered with love by a sloth. [YouTube]
I’m sorry, but I cannot stay silent. This sloth is clearly trying to kill this cat in its usual slow-like fashion and while everyone else in the world who has bought into sloth PROPAGANDA is busy awwing over how “cute” it is, this poor kitty is going to lose its life. I mean, this is basically a sloth horror film. A snuff video even. Do not be fooled, internet! — Amelia, President of the Sloth Are Gross Not Cute Society
It has been a tough 24 hours. I would never be so glib as to suggest anything as silly and fluffy as a puppy GIF could ease the pain of those suffering in the aftermath of yesterday’s attack in Boston, and our thoughts and prayers are with them. But I thought all of you could use a few sweet puppy faces to warm your heart and make you smile. Keep reading »
This is a panda bat, which is, as you’d imagine, a bat with panda bear coloring. Discovered in South Sudan, researchers believe these little guys are an entirely new genus of bat. Bucknell Associate Professor of Biology DeeAnn Reeder says the bat may be related to a similar bat that was discovered in 1939, but in the meantime, we’ll just coo about how cute these little guys are. [Daily Mail]
People can be awkward. Missed high fives, cell phone crashing– humans are pretty darn good at making things hilariously embarrassing. Luckily for our own entertainment purposes, we’ve discovered another variety of awkward masters– animals!
The thing is, four-legged strangeness comes in different varieties. Cats might hang out in super weird positions or maybe puppy love is just straight up uncomfortable. But above all, animal awkwardness always turns out adorable. Read more on The FW…
You don’t think there would be a baby panda video that I would keep to myself, do you? Wash your mouth out with bamboo! This here is a mama panda wrestling with her baby panda cub — quite adorably, if I do say so myself. At least I think they are playing. That little guy is really getting tossed around.
