Juniper the fox lives with humans, but understands the importance of maintaining his professional skills should he ever again need outside income. He knows how to dive into thick snow to capture mice and other small animals that hide beneath it.
Something is wrong here, though. This snow is broken. It's warm and so thick that he can't dig through it!

There isn't any supplemental information to go with this video. Yet what else does anyone really need to know about this bitty beast and his chosen mode of getting from point A to B, affectionately named Parkour Le Lemur by a video commenter? Via Arbroath
This Leonberger wants his treats... #westminsterdogshow https://t.co/7v71LOIst6

The 140th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is generally a purebred, highbrow, no jokes affair. But this leonberger had ideas that didn't center around rigid competition as he went on his run around the show circle. The dog decided to go for the treats in his trainer's pocket, and why not? It was obvious that the handler had other, more important things on his mind that were distracting him. It seemed like the perfect moment for a bit of treat snatching.
Alas, no treats were to be had, nor did he win any awards at the show. But the move made this canine the darling of just about everyone watching. Dubbed the "leonburglar" on social media, he and his antics got some fond responses on platforms such as Twitter, as seen below. Via Mashable
Was anybody else rooting for the treat hungry Leonberger? So cute, so hungry @WKCDOGS #WestminsterDogShow

Albert the dog is a scientist, which is why his website is called Dog Scientist. In his video series, he uses his advanced scientific knowledge to eat treats that have been locked away by his humans in various containers.
For this experiment, Albert attempted to get at chicken soup poured into a cylindrical container. His tongue can't reach the soup, so Albert puts balls in the container. This displaces the soup, raising the level of the liquid in accordance with the famous principle of Archimedes of Syracuse. He continues to add balls as the surface of the liquid sinks. What a clever dog!
Despite the popular I Have No Idea What I'm Doing meme, I'm inclined to think that Albert understands what he's trying to do: eat.
Moyo is an orphaned baby elephant at the Wild Is Life animal sanctuary in Zimbabwe who at times is given the run of his kind keeper Roxy's house. As sweet and eager to learn as Moyo is, were I Roxy, I'm not sure I'd do the same after seeing what Moyo does on a quick run through the home. Let's hang out at your place, Moyo, shall we?

Admit it, you have always wanted the chance to get a call from a turtle. Well, that isn't going to happen, but you can at least help someone else achieve these dreams thanks to Turtlecall. No, Turtlecall isn't going to put a real turtle on the phone and leave the line silent until the receiver hangs up -that would just be silly. Instead, the service promises a call from someone pretending to be a turtle. For only $2, you can give someone that once-in-a-lifetime experience of talking to a turtle over the phone. Here's what that could sound like:

Another term for donkey has long been used as a pejorative, targeted at rude, crass and otherwise unpleasant humans. Hardly deserved, as donkeys are actually good natured, cooperative and loving animals. Not to mention cute, as these pictures clearly show.
YouTube Link
The donkey has been used by man as a pack animal for 5,000 years or more. The approximately 40 million donkeys that inhabit the Earth are spread across the globe and found mostly in underdeveloped countries. Tragically, many of them suffer abuse at the hands of man.

This is Cody, isn't that a cute name for a scruffy little dog?
Cody is a seemingly ordinary animal when he's running around playing with his fellow pets, but when Cody opens his maw he lets out a scream that sounds like something you'd hear in a horror movie.
Some dogs will do anything to fetch their human's attention, but Cody's methods are a bit ruff on the ears, and the nerves!

When a bobcat approaches the glass door of an Ontario home in which this dog is an occupant, the canine does his best to show the big cat that it's picked the wrong house. Valiant effort, pup, but I'm glad there's glass in between you and your rival. Via Daily Dot
Amy of the food blog Oh, Bite It does provide an actual recipe. But you don't need one. You can just look at the photo, find the necessary ingredients, and get started:
Layer and pile…pile and layer…
Keep doing this until you’re satisfied with yourself..
Or too ashamed of yourself to continue. But if you're preparing this for dinner, you're past shame. Like the guy who was caught enjoying his In-N-Out in public way too much, you're ready to live your life to the fullest.
You don't want to be that guy lying on his deathbed at 46 thinking, "Hey, I should have had those Kit Kat nachos, but I decided to be healthy instead." That kind of attitude gets you nowhere in life.
The internet was built upon the backs of hard working cats who let themselves be filmed, photographed, dressed up and harassed for the sake of human amusement.
And because of our fascination with cat videos we search, and sometimes actually stumble upon, a cat video that's like no other we've ever seen.
Viaje al cielo de los gatos, which roughly translates to "a trip to cat heaven", is one of those videos...or is it?
Turns out this isn't an ordinary cat video, it's a segment from the rarely seen 1964 film The Three Lives Of Thomasina, where Thomasina gets a taste of heaven before being sent back because she has eight more lives to go.
It may predate the internet by three decades, but it's definitely the trippiest cat video I've ever seen online!
(Terrible quality video with original English voice over here)

If a wild duck were to see this domesticated cousin, he might think, "Humans regard us as kings to be paraded on litters." This duck doesn't need to dirty his webbed feet by walking anywhere. His humans will give him transport befitting his station.

At the Catskill Animal Sanctuary lives one criminally cute baby goat named Violet. On her very first day of life, she's pretty much a baby goat rock star. Tiny striped shirts are being sported. Baby goat compatibly sized rocks are being climbed. Kisses are being received. Looks like the first hours of baby goat life at CAS aren't rough ones. Enjoy, little Violet. Via Laughing Squid
This is Koyuki, a Scottish Fold cat from Yokohama, Japan. Rocket News 24 says that his name translates as "light snow," but his disposition clearly says that he's a "bone-chilling blizzard." Tardar Sauce the Grumpy Cat looks like he's disappointed in you. Koyuki looks like he's about to kill you.
