Alfie is taking a walk through a field with his humans. But the grass is high, taller than Alfie! How is he going to find his way around and keep up with his people?
With an intermittent vertical check to gain his bearings every so often! He looks like a Jack-in-the-box, but it worked for Alfie. -via Arbroath
Rosie Pig calls herself "50% pig. 50% chihuahua. 100% party." But she can be a serious pig/dog, too. When moving day arrived, she dutifully rolled up in bubble wrap, then unwrapped upon arriving in her new home.

Nick (@voemas on Twitter) tweeted this video of his chameleon Laura sitting up and popping bubbles. The tweet soon was getting a lot of attention. Thankfully though, when Nick told Laura about her internet fame, she didn't let it inflate her ego, as evidenced by her photo below. She knows what is full of air and what isn't. Stay grounded, Laura! Via Laughing Squid
I have just informed Laura that she is going viral on Twitter. She seems to be taking it well. pic.twitter.com/9yQMaXiuCY

This older Asian footage captured adorable Alaskan Malamute puppies listening to music played and varied by their human and clearly not knowing what to make of it. They cock their heads again and again, alternately turning to their litter mates to look for clues. Via Tastefully Offensive
Lilo the Husky lives with two other huskies and a few cats (and some humans). The family took in a weak and lethargic three-week-old foster kitten, and Lilo became her surrogate mother! Rosie the kitten thrived under Lilo’s affection and regained her health. The dog and cat are bonded now, and Rosie has been made a permanent member of the family.
Rosie has taken on some canine habits, and considers herself a member of the husky pack. Read the story of Lilo and Rosie at HuffPo, and see plenty of pictures and video of their adorable lives at lilothehusky on Instagram.

Some people (and apparently dogs) have a tell- a physical tic or reaction that gives away their thoughts or feelings. For some it’s a cringe, or a guffaw, or even a flustered eye flitter and a sigh, but Denver the Guilty Dog’s tic is far more troublesome.
Every time Denver goes to growl or act threatening, an understandable reaction to his ear medicine, she starts sneezing.
So if you’re ever hanging out with Denver and she starts sneezing it's probably because you've done something that ticked her off!

They even have fluffy bunny tails!
This video captured by a diver in the Pacific shows one crawling along the ocean floor, presumably looking for sea carrots and sea lettuces, all while avoiding sea foxes.

When it’s all said and done, Donald Trump will be best remembered not for his million dollar business dealing, his TV career, or his presidential run, but for his distinctive and unfathomable hair. People find plenty of humor in it, and now cats can, too. The Instagram account Trump Your Cat invites people to share a picture of their cat wearing Trump hair. How? It’s easy!
1.Brush your cat
2.Form the hair you brushed into a toupee
3.Place toupee on cat
4.Share & tag @trumpyourcat, DM, or #trumpyourcat >^.~.^<

Um, I have a feeling that cat has borrowed a toupee. When your cat gets posted, Trump Your Cat will add a pertinent (or not) quote from the Donald himself. There are plenty more cats to see, and the odd horse and guinea pig as well, at Trump Your Cat. -via Uproxx
Juno is one of three Beluga whales who live at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. He learned a long time ago that it’s a real hoot to scare the kids who come up to the glass to look at him. But then again, he probably goes up to the glass to get a good look at those strange creatures on the other side. Juno can be friendly at times, and doesn’t mind to have a picture taken with you. -via reddit
According to YouTube user Shannen Hussein, she was feeding the lizards in "their enclosure" when one overzealous lizard jumped on the back of Maisy the orphaned lamb, and the duo made a break for it like a couple of outlaws. While it's not clear what sort of facility they are escaping from, I can only wish these two rebels luck... or at least a temporary sense of fun adventure. Via Arbroath
This sweet, nine-month old koala joey at the San Diego Zoo and Aquarium gets his weekly weigh-in and medical checkup with the help of a stuffed likeness. The stuffed animal was used by the staff to minimize the baby's separation anxiety from his mother, who watched closely during the exam. According to staff,
"The joey’s mother, Cambee, stayed nearby during his health check, keeping an attentive eye on her offspring. She quickly nurtured her joey when his exam was complete and resumed their daily routine of perching and mostly sleeping. While Cambee has occasionally allowed the joey to try eucalyptus, he is still nursing as his primary source of nourishment and will continue to nurse until he is around 14 months old."

In the ever-strange world of North Korean propaganda continually inflicted on its citizens in order to keep their behavior in check, a popular American meme has recently been employed. Remember the "stoned" birthday canine? Riley, shown in the photo above that launched the meme approximately five years ago, was photographed by the mother of his human at a birthday celebration in Riley's honor. His adorable, squinty-eyed smile caused some on the internet to think he was a perfect representative of the marijuana smoking population. Chill. Smiling. Ready to eat. Meme lovers also ate up Riley's stoner message.
Recently, Riley's photo was snapped up by North Korea's state-run media KCTV to slam America for its income inequality. The photo supposedly illustrates a picture of American billionaires constantly having lap-of-luxury canine birthday parties. The YouTube video below is of North Korean talk show Today's World, which presented the narrative in this program footage.
According the The Guardian, KCTV also inexplicably used a picture of Giant George, the world’s tallest dog in the same report. Perhaps they were implying that Giant George was fed too much hifalutin' fancy food and it make him gargantuan?

The cats who call New York home are a fascinating bunch of critters, and they prove that felines can adapt to and thrive in any environment, whether urban or rural.
Feline New Yorkers who roam the streets have a hard time living nine lengthy lives, and cats who live indoors must get used to staying inside all day while the world walks by outside their window.
Cat lover and comedian Jim Tews has taken notes from the wildly popular blog Humans Of New York and given the Felines Of New York an outlet for their deepest, darkest secrets. Some are hilarious, others are terrifying, but they're all just NYC kittehs keepin' it real! (Some entries contain NSFW language)
