I’m not sure how old this little critter is or if it has meant a rat who will become its sensei in time, but even if he’s not a teenager or a ninja, he’s certainly a mutant already. Personally, I’d rather watch him run around than watch the new Michael Bay movie.
Manatees might not be as popular as seals and dolphins, but they’re certainly no less fascinating. Just check out this stunning beast as it walks, bobs and swims just below the surface.

No, you never will actually catch those wipers little Bostie, at least not from the inside of the car. Even so, I support your dedication, especially considering how much it entertains us humans.

Budding naturalists should take note of what this video demonstrates-a spider’s killer instinct shouldn’t be taken for granted, and they’ll gladly wrap up a meal that may take them a month to polish off just for the sake of convenience.
Please note that you shouldn’t put your hand anywhere near those big old spiders you see as you’re traipsing through the jungle, because spiders don’t take kindly to tomfoolery!
And if you’re feeling for the snake right about now just think of it like this-he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got caught up in the never ending gang war we call the food chain.

It takes a special kind of cat to enjoy snow, let alone frolic in banks so deep that only their tails can be seen, but these two kitty friends have finally found their element.
People of Walmart is soooo 2008. These days, it’s all about the dogs of the people of Walmart -now that’s a new whole new level of Walmart craziness. While there isn’t a whole website dedicated to this subset of insanity, Pets Lady has filtered through all the animal category of the site to find the best dog pictures ever taken at Walmart. And they are hilarious.
No, I’m not talking about Peewee’s Big Adventure being remade with a penguin in the lead role, although that would be pretty darn awesome. Unfortunately, this is a true tale involving a tiny fairy penguin being stolen from the zoo and chased by both sharks and dogs before being rescued and returned to his home.
On Saturday, three young men reportedly broke into the park and caused all sorts of mishchief, like swimming in the dolphin tank. On their way out, they nabbed the diminutive Dirk, for good measure. Their time with the small bird was apparently short lived, as the group are said to have released Dirk into the nearby Broadwater waterway.
The next day, a couple passing by the area saw Dirk being chased by a shark, which are known to swim around the Broadwater area. To make matters worse, a dog on the shore kept harassing the little bird when he tried to come ashore. The couple alerted SeaWorld officials who quickly responded, bringing the exhausted bird back to his home.
That’s a serious adventure for such a small little critter, especially one raised in a zoo and not accustomed to the harsh realities of being a wild creature.

“Come along children, just come on. No, you can make it. Your brothers and sisters were able to get over the curb you just aren’t trying hard enough.”
“But moooom, it’s too high. Can’t we just let this stranger help us?”
“Is that what you’re going to do whenever you’re in a jam, just wait for a human to help you? You know, that’s how your Uncle Arnold ended up becoming duck a la orange.”
“But moooooooooom, we can’t reach.”
“Ok, fine, let the human help you, but don’t come crying to me when they want to turn you into dinner for something called Christmas.”
I’ll be honest, I have no idea what’s going on with this little furball, but whatever it is, it’s pretty darned cute. Of course, if you know what he’s up to, let us know in the comments.

Silly rabbit, you got over the fact that Trix aren’t made for you and just moved on to yet another food not made for you. Bunnies and bananas, now that’s just plain goofy, and I’m not even going into the fact that you’re eating it while being held like a baby drinking a bottle. You poor confused thing.

An owl is sitting on a branch watching some jerk shoot video footage of him like some sort of wildlife TMZ reporter when BAM! Say hello to my little friend!
And the owl doesn’t seem care about being dive bombed by the little bird, because he’s too busy making sure the paparazzi shoot his good side.
Later, the little bird tried the same thing with a hawk, and the results were dire to say the least. I guess not everyone appreciates physical comedy!
It might sound a little extreme to have a national registry for animal abusers -after all, they’re hardly as dangerous as sex offenders, but when you actually think about it, it does make a lot of sense. After all, no one wants animal abusers to be able to adopt poor little puppies and kittens do they?
New York’s Suffolk County legislature on Wednesday signed off on a measure that would publicly name anyone convicted of animal abuse by having them report to a registry for five years after their conviction.
“Most serial killers began as animal abusers,” Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Chief Roy Gross told the North Shore Sun. “It’s a known fact: people who hurt animals hurt people too.”
The Sun story says the convicted abusers would pay a $50 annual fee for upkeep of the registry, and those who fail to register would be charged $1,000 or face jail time. The legislature is also considering another bill that would require pet stores and animal shelters to check the registry before allowing anyone to adopt or buy an animal.
So what do you guys think? Would you support an animal abuse registry or do you think it goes too far?
So it’s not quite a ballet, but it’s certainly freaking precious. Just look at that lumpy little babe tip toe through the water.
We know how they feel about pizza, mirrors and pumpkins, but how do they feel about Easter? As it turns out, big kitties like their special eggs just as much as house cats love it when you drop a chicken egg on the kitchen floor.
These pugs are the most thugalicious pups I’ve ever seen and, as a result, they made what is probably the best music video ever. There is a bit of language in the song, but I that can be easily excused when the rappers are this cute.
That’s right Lola, tell it like it is.

When you hear the name Prince Harry, you might be tempted to think of Princess Di’s youngest son, but why bother wasting your time with the royal family when you could look at these adorable pictures of a pygmy hippo bearing the same name? Unfortunately, little Harry’s mother didn’t feel the same:
The mother and calf were closely monitored, and after 5 hours of no feeding, the decision was made to pull the calf from its mom in the hopes of his survival. Harry was immediately weighed, wrapped in blankets and transported to the hand-rearing facility where he was fed. He is being hand-reared by very loving curator and caretaker, Toni Inggs.
Both Harry and his mother in fine health and Prince Harry seems to be doing just fine on his own.
She’s oinky and she knows it. This little twelve day old piglet is still trying to get her footing down. Between her miniature size and precious little squeaks, she might just be the cutest pig on Earth.
Admit it, you read that headline in the voice of Crocodile Dundee, everyone does, except for those 20 year-olds who all just said “who?”…Back to the matter at hand, this isn’t a caterpillar, it’s actually a bunch of birds who apparently have no sense of personal space. The European Bee Eaters here resemble a crawly little butterfly larvae so much that the photographer, José Luis Rodríguez, decided to name the image Oruga de Plumas, or “caterpillar of feathers.”
Somehow this almost seems like a Sobe ad, but this kitten with his lizard friend are way too sweet to be shilling anything but love.

Toby, Jenny and Terri are rehabbed squirrels who are apparently all too eager to make sure your food is safe for consumption.

Buzzfeed put together an NCAA tournament bracket that has nothing to do with the actual basketball games, but instead pits the teams’ animal mascots against each other to rank which is the cutest. Which means no matter what team you like, you can enjoy a series of sweet wildlife photographs. The wildcats above represent Kentucky. Link
Resident Evil Revelations looks kinda tame compared to the last games…but maybe I’m just desensitized to zombie cat violence by now.

This is the photo that proves just how cool Shark Diving magazine editor Eli Martinez really is. He’s so cool, in fact, that sharks come from miles around just to give him a high fin five. Either that, or this particular shark likes to play with his food before he eats.
Fortunately, the sounds that come out of it are ridiculously adorable. Squee!!!
