animals

Zookeepers have strange and interesting jobs compared to what most of us do all day, so seeing them imitate animals makes us excited but also virulently jealous. Zookeepers at the Minnesota Zoo took photos of themselves as the animals they work with, and it makes us want to look for a job openings at the zoo. Our favorite is the millipede.

This tumblr thread shows, with cute photo evidence, that other animals just seem to get along with capybaras. Not only are they shaped like friends, animal sanctuaries have also used them as sort of foster moms. If only everyone could be as chill as the worlds largest rodent. For another wholesome thing, here's a list of all the animals one tumblr's grandpa brought home.

If this adorable story of two neighbor cats falling in love across the street isn't the most wholesome thing of all time, then I don't know what is. Oh, and this is definitely a better love story than Twilight. No question about that. 

Grandpa has a knack for bringing home some seriously wild animals! Stupid, the Cat sounds like a real keeper. 

A legend is responsible for the following list of absolutely ridiculous names from Austin Pets Alive! We couldn't decide on our favorite, so there's a ton of them below. IPad 4 is definitely a contender. 

When this cat owner won a stuffed animal toy in a raffle at work, they thought it'd be a good idea to bring home the toy to their cat. The big catch here is that the toy looked identical to the cat, which resulted in the cat freaking out. It's just like if you've ever seen a cat catch their reflection in the mirror, and how they lose it; but even more terrifying with a plushy stuff animal that looks like them. 

It's good when liars get called out for their BS, but things can spiral out of control when no one checks the facts. In this case, this woman's posts were stole from her social media and put in a completely different and sinister context. No doubt, it would be a complete nightmare to be framed for animal abuse and have everyone just go with it without investigating if you're actually a criminal. 

The natural world is so large and diverse that it inherently has a lot of room for jokes. That's why people have taken it upon themselves to wonder, what the hell would that room have been like when God made different plants and animals?

Take a look at more Funny Tweets here. 

You wouldn't think there could be so many threats out there, but apparently every machine, animal and tree is trying to get you. Some signs are intentionally scary, some are just spooky by circumstance. Either way, all these scary signs have something about them that makes you go "aw hell no."

She's alright, and already out of the hospital. Apparently the group had been standing within 10 feet of the animal for about 20 minutes, which is advised against. This mostly serves as a reminder to not get really close to bison. They are huge and will mess you up. Here's another guy who challenged a bison at Yellowstone if you need more evidence to not mess with bison. Twitter responded with a lot of comments about how it's weird her parents just ran out of the way leaving her to get tossed.

You may come out of this feeling smarter, but there's almost no chance that you'll fell better about the world. While we really enjoy messed up facts, we haven't been able to recover so quickly from having our worldview decimated so early in the day. If you're in a good mood, these depressing facts will probably make you feel as though a cloud has just passed over the sun, so proceed with caution... 

What kind of garbage human does something like this? You're hitting an all-time low as a human being if you find yourself trying to sell a lost dog online. Unreal. 

With the power of forced perspective, things can look like they're way too big or small. People can look like they're floating magically, and a mud puddle can appear to be a vast landscape. Basically, here are a bunch of images that are worth a double-take. For more, check out these brain-twisting pics of wild perspective.
