When it comes to gracefulness, penguins aren't exactly at the top of the list. As adorable as they are, and my gosh they are adorable, penguins are one of the most awkward birds around! Their adorable waddle, their full-out clumsiness, all these weird movements they happen to do just honestly makes us adore them even more. They are beautiful in their awkward, clumsy ways and we're here to celebrate that beauty!

Sure penguins tend to slip a lot, but most importantly, they never let their fall stop them from moving forward. Maybe a little something to keep in mind for any future slip-ups that may come your way. 

And now, for some wild penguins facts that happened to blow our minds. Did you know that the first settlers to witness penguins called them "strange geese?" Or how about the fact that penguins classic black/white coats are actually a suit for camouflage? When seen from above, a penguins black back blends with the ocean water, and when viewed from below, their white bellies match the bright surface. This helps them disguise from their predators such as leopard seals, or orcas, and it also helps them catch prey themselves. 

We know what you're thinking, penguins are freakin' awesome. Now, get yourself all cozy to enjoy this adorable blooper reel of penguins being... well, penguins. 

Meet the brilliant and talented Simone Giertz! Simone Giertz, as she describes on Youtube, is a "maker/robotics enthusiast/non-engineer." And just recently, Simone Giertz has built an automated photo booth in which dogs can take their very own selfies! How amazing is that? We see tons of dogs photos on the daily but for a dog to take its own selfie? Revolutionary! 

The adorable model is nonother than Simone's pup, Scraps! Scraps was obviously born to be in front of the camera, I mean -- just look at that star quality! This photo booth is absolutely adorable and we definitely want to see more pup selfies in the future!

If you ever had any doubt in your mind about how awesome cats are, that doubt is about to be gone. You may think that dogs make the bestest of all best bros, but these cats say na-ah. They know exactly how to bro it up with their bros, and they high five those bros to prove it. That's right.

"Thanks, dude," is what you really want to say after getting a high five from your cat. "I know you both just left your precious scent on me AND that you're playful AND that you're my best bro, bro." Then, later, when you're tired and cuddling together under the blankets: "Hey, bro, do you wanna hold hands?"

This is simply too cute! We've seen cats exploring the beach before, relatively happy, but not Pumpkin. According to his owner, Pumpkin hates the wind! Well, only because he has CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia).

Written on Pumpkin's Facebook description bio, "it affects the part of my brain that controls my motor skills, but it doesn't slow me down! Also, I make funny faces in the wind." And does it ever! Those funny/angry faces Pumpkin makes in the wind went viral and everyone can't get enough of this adorable angry cat! Truth be told, we can't get enough of him either! He manages to express our inner selves so purrfection. 

Thank you, Pumpkin. 2020 needed you! You can follow the wonderful Pumpkin on Facebook and Instagram! 

Many people don't always see the appeal of hats. You have to have a certain sense of... fashion to be able to properly rock a hat, and not everyone feels brave enough. But boy oh boy, after seeing these pics of animals wearing tini-tiny hats, you will understand the appeal of hats right away.
