A kindergarden shaped like cat, a skyscraper shaped like an elephant, a hotel shaped like a crocodile — these are just a few of the forms that animal-shaped architecture has taken. Here are 10 examples of animal architecture from around the world.
It's a sad day for the cat lovers community, as the beloved and famous Tardar Sauce, commonly known as 'Grumpy Cat' has passed away. @Therealgrumpycat has confirmed the heartbreaking news on Instagram. Tardar Sauce passed away in the arms of her mommy on Tuesday, her family said on Friday, she was only 7 years old. Grumpy Cat had become an internet sensation and a classic meme from the very start, due to her permanent scowl. Perhaps the most famous meme quote: "I had fun once. It was awful."

We all know that cats use their whiskers not only to balance, but to also navigate their way through tight spaces. But there's so much more to what these twitchy little cat adornments can do. In fact, they have little muscles that control them at the base which can point them forward to detect their prey!

The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to saving sloths in the wild through research and conservation initiatives. Based on the belief that every single person has the ability to make a positive difference, we are focused on inspiring individuals to care about sloths, to protect the rainforest ecosystem and to safeguard a future for the planet that we all share. Sloth populations are in decline throughout South and Central America as they struggle to adapt to the urbanisation of the rainforest. Saving these incredible animals from extinction now requires innovative and long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat. Their new project is turning "Game of thrones" characters into "Game of sloths".
