Eating and sleeping is pretty much what giant pandas do, and this guy takes his duties seriously. He cannot be distracted even when a crow comes and pulls his fur out! The crow is soon joined by another, and together they pluck fur to line their nests. The panda don’t care! Watching this, it occurred to me how convenient it is that birds build their nests in the spring, just as mammals shed their winter coats. This was recorded last spring at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. -via Daily Picks and Flicks

This sweet baby bunny named Red is a rescued wild Cottontail. When his handler feeds him his milk, Red is like Popeye getting a spinach infusion. He becomes the Energizer bunny, able to swim great lengths, kill it on the exercise wheel and race on the treadmill. Go Red, go! -Via Tastefully Offensive

A parrot squeezes through a door opening and is apparently very proud of himself. His laugh is priceless! That laugh would be right at home coming out of a mad scientist’s mouth when he's plotting to take over the world. -via Tastefully Offensive

You know your dog is well trained when you can get them to sit still with a treat on their nose awaiting permission to gobble it up, but is a dog that holds food in his mouth without ever eating it well trained or just crazy?

Sid the beagle is extremely fond of people food, but he doesn’t enjoy eating people food, he’d rather just hold it in his mouth and pose for the most deliciously adorable pictures ever taken.

Crazy or not, Sid is one precious pooch, and his owner Alex Hopes loves sharing Sid's food modeling moments with the world via his Instagram account @myregalbeagle. Check it out and see all the different foods Sid has refused to eat! -Via Laughing Squid

In this footage, Brody the dog demonstrates that he knows the difference between his indoor and outdoor voice, and also what tone is best to use when he's telling secrets. Being the classy and discreet canine that he is, Brody limits all secret exchanges to whispers. Good dog. -Via Uproxx

German seems like a difficult language to learn, but when you discover how easy it is to create names for things in German by simply stringing words together it doesn't seem so hard to learn after all.

For instance, which two words would you put together to describe a sloth?

If your answer was "lazy animal" you nailed it!

Now a hippopotamus may seem harder to describe in two words, but if you combine their favorite river with a similar animal type you've got a rather apt description of a hippo (although I would have added "pig" in there somewhere)

And then there's the virtually inexplicable platypus- a strange hybrid creature that could be described as an otter duck or a duck billed beaver or simply a plate full of platy, but the German language streamlines the description quite a bit

As I've previously stated, we at Neatorama are big fan of bats and their adorable little fox faces. It's hard not to fall in love when you see them munching down snacks with those big emotional eyes and puffed out cheeks. While I've always known that we're not alone in our love of flying foxes, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that one of our favorite actors is also a big fan of bats.

So which celebrity am I talking about? Well, would it help if I told you this little baby's name is Jackie Sparrow? That's right -Johnny Depp sponsored this orphaned little babe after she was rescued by the Australian Bat Clinic & Wildlife Trauma Center in the same area where Depp was filming his newest movie and one of Depp's vocal coaches also works at the sanctuary. It didn't take much to convince him to symbolically adopt the cute little one.

These well trained seal soldiers don't want to go to war, but now that they've been trained to kill with cuteness their human handlers at the Baikal Aquarium had better keep their bellies full of fish...

Is there anything more ambiguously evil and threatening than a sock? Not to these cats. They recoil in horror, try to capture and conquer, stalk and pounce, but still, they don't appear to be winning the battle. Imagine their disgust during the holidays when their humans open up package after package of brand new terror. Oh, the humanity. Via Tastefully Offensive

Dave Mienert, a filmmaker, discovered a 4-week old Great Dane puppy. She was the handiwork of a backyard dog breeder. She had a genetic disorder that would leave her blind and deaf eventually. All of her littermates had died or been born deformed.

This was not a healthy pup, but Miernet adopted her and named her Pegasus. He wasn't sure how long he would have with his new friend and so decided to record it all. 

(Video Link)

Pegasus often walks on a treadmill. Miernet compiled these scenes into a time-lapse video showing the weak puppy growing into a strong adult dog. He says, "I still don’t know how long she is going to live, but right now is pretty great."

A man and his dog went out on the water in Townsville, Queensland, Australia on Monday. The human fell out of the boat while it was moving quickly. He had very foolishly never taught his dog how to pilot the boat, so the poor dog was left spinning around.

Three men in another boat and a jet ski intercepted the boat and brought it to a halt.

This Asiatic black bear resides at the Laos Wildlife Rescue Center after being saved from a bear bile farm in China. His relative freedom looks as if it's really agreeing with him as he casually strolls through the park on two legs. -Via Tastefully Offensive

Ekant Veer noticed that the cat treats were going missing, although they were in a closed drawer, and the family never noticed the drawer open. They knew it must be the cat Anfield taking them, but how? So they set up a camera inside the drawer to capture the caper.

We know cats are liquid, because they take the shape of their container. Anfield managed to snag the cat treats by oozing into the furniture without ever opening the drawer. He escaped the same way. -via Tastefully Offensive
