Animals

You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance...

Send back the presents -- we really don't need them. We only need this video of a baby panda playing with a ball. Sincerely, watch it and tell us if you don't agree. We think Xiao Liwu, a cub at the San Diego Zoo, is ridiculously adorable. He's the combination of three great things -- pandas, baby animals, and falling over without getting hurt...

The Alpacalypse -- funny joke or TERRIFYING REALITY???? That's the question we're asking ourselves lately, thanks to these memes.

If you like whales or the sound of a panicking teenage girl, this is definitely the video for you. Just be careful where you watch it. While it is obviously extremely SFW (it's just a father and daughter in a canoe looking at a whale), the heavy breathing and moans do sound a little suspicious if nobody can see the actual video...

Here you go. It's animals feeding other animals. Over and over again. In case work this week has made your heart shrivel up and die. Watch and experience your heart re-hydrate like dried fruit in a slow cooker. Enjoy!

Good lord! Is that dog smaller than a Coke can? Yep, she is. If you want to go ahead and 'awwww' yourself to death, it's cool ... we'll wait.

You might take the democratic process very seriously, but not everybody is on your side. Specifically the 6,000 or so people who wrote in a cat for US Senator of Virginia. The cat came in third place.

This video is just the right amount of heartwarming and sad. Some men who were out boating in Alaska came across a pod of killer whales. Then things got dramatic when a mother sea otter and her pup made the scene and were hunted by the whales.

Hundreds of canines and their proud owners dolled up in their Halloween best this past Saturday for the 2012 Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Parade.

A group of anglers from Australia have quite a fishing tale  to tell, with the video to back it up.

The folks at the Amboseli Trust for Elephants in Kenya got a call that a baby elephant had fallen into a well. So they went out to rescue her. We know it seems like a lot of sitting and watching people try to wrap some rope around an elephant, but it's worth it for the big finish...

There's not a whole lot to do when you live in the country. It was really only a matter of time before somebody came up with this idea, and then only a short amount of time after that for somebody to film it and put it on YouTube.
