Goooood morning, lovely animal readers! And welcome back to our weekly gathering of trending and hilarious animal memes! We hope you're having a fantastic Sunday thus far and that this list of animal goodness just further contributes to that! 

When it comes to memes, it's no secret that animal memes are our favorites. How can they not be? It's literally a combination of our two favorite things: memes + animals. Yes. Please. Once a week, we search through the depths of the web to bring you the newest and hottest animal memes currently circulating the globe. Sometimes, we strike a goldmine, and other times, not so much. But each and every time, it's a joy and brings us smiles. 

Enjoy! 

Rare animals are... well, rare to come by. And this golden penguin is no exception! One wildlife photographer, Yves Adams, has won nature's lottery by being the first to spot and capture a never-before-seen yellow penguin. The penguin is a King penguin, potentially the very first of its kind. 

Yves Adams believes that the yellow penguin spotted on an island in South Georgia is leucistic. Leucism is a condition that results in the partial loss of pigmentation. Whereas albinism is the absence of melanin, leucism is only partial, which can make the animal have white or patchy colored skin, feathers, or hair. 

In an interview with the Independent, Yves Adams had this to say about the rare and unique moment he first spotted the yellow penguin, "I'd never seen or heard of a yellow penguin before. There were 120,000 birds on that beach, and this was the only yellow one there. They all looked normal except for this one. It really was something else. It was an incredibly unique experience. One of the birds looked really strange, and when I looked closer it was yellow. We all went crazy when we realized. We dropped all the safety equipment and grabbed our cameras."

Adams continued, "We were so lucky the bird landed right where we were. Our view wasn't blocked by a sea of massive animals. Normally it's almost impossible to move on this beach because of them all. It was heaven that he landed by us. If it had been 50 metres away, we wouldn't have been able to get this show of a lifetime."

This isn't the first time we've seen rare golden animals out in the wild, but it is the very first golden penguin! 

A new capybara has just dropped! Well, sort of. They're just regular adorable capybaras covered in moss, but... twitter doesn't know that. And twitter has fallen for the joke - in mass numbers. 

A tweet with a video of capybaras covered in moss went viral, with someone going as far as to give these cool-looking capybaras a whole new name, and twitter is so in love with capybaras and how awesome and friendly they are, that they instantly started sharing this "new" capybara species. In reality though, them being regular capybaras doesn't make them any less cool. But... it sure is amusing to see twitter users fall for this epic capybara prank. 

Ahhh, what's better than a calm kitty, loafing around, and just enjoying life? What wouldn't we do to be able to feel such chill, sit on our hands and do nothing all day. It's the purrfect setup, and we are somehow both jealous of these loaf kitties and completely enamored with them. Then again, we love cats in any and all position.

Thank you to one of the most wholesome cat subreddits of all time, r/Catloaf, for always purrviding these freshly baked kitty loaves for us and giving us the content that we all want to see. Have your own adorable cat loaves and want to share how cute they are, come visit our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime and share the love.

Have you ever been overtaken by the feeling of just wanting to crawl under your blankets and stay there for a while? Cozying up under them in the morning, not wanting to get up for work? We know you have. It's a universal feeling that everyone understands. 

That feeling becomes even more intense though when you have an animal snuggled up with you. Nothing is more difficult than getting up from under your blankets when your dog - who's technically not supposed to even be on your bed - jumps up to cuddle you in the morning. But, at least you can be assured, when you are at work, that your pupper is getting the snuggles that you want so desperately. At least one of you should.

We hope you enjoy these warm and snuggly doggos from r/TuckedInPuppies as much as we do and that you have an amazing weekend!

You know, for an animal that is oh so scary and dangerous when its grown, porcupines are insanely cute when they're babies. When their huge quills have yet to grow, and they're still tiny little huggable fuzzballs, they are so cute and underrated it's basically criminal. So, it's time to give some love to yet another extremely underrated baby animal, and this time, it's the not-yet-spikiest fluffball. 

Let's be real though, us, animal lovers, have a special place in our hearts for the adorableness of dangerous animals-especially their ferocious baby versions. And this one is no different. It is definitely an animal that is much more awwdorable than you ever gave it credit for. 

Very few dog breeds out there will love a snow day like a husky. And this week, all the huskies in Texas are losing their minds. 

With the freshly fallen snow in this normally not so cold place, all the husky owners decided to treat their good boys and girls to a fun day in the freezing snow. And all it took was one viral tweet encouraging Texans to share their beauties for these super hyper cold pups to get the internet shine that they've totally earned. 

Maybe you're one of the people in Texas who are hating the snow more than anything right now, but still- enjoy these happiest of all happy huskies and the positive that they have brought into this freezing week. Allow their joy to warm your heart and soul.

If you have a cat, then you know that no matter how much money you spend on them, they will always find the cheapest, most ridiculous "toys" to play with. From crumpled up pieces of paper to uncooked pasta. Honestly, it's their fault that you keep spending so much money buying them cool things, they never asked for it lol. 

Our awesome cat owner users definitely know the struggle, trying to pamper their kitties by getting them the most expensive things only to then have them go crazy over their hair tie. It's inevitable. And hilarious. So we thought you should enjoy laughing at this too. 

Have a great weekend, and come share your cats' weird quirks in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

It's a beautiful day to enjoy some fresh cat memes in honor of our day of the week... Caturday! Happy Caturday to all our fellow cat lovers! We are so blessed that you decided to spend your Caturday here with us. When it comes to Caturday, we here at 'I Can Has Cheezburger' have a weekly tradition that we feel really adds to the day. 

First, we devour the fresh cat memes below. Then, we are ravenous for more so we feast upon any and all cat memes we can get our hands-on. Afterward, we like to find a spot in the house where the sun rays hit and proceed to nap directly in that light. This part can take roughly up to 18 hours. Lastly, we end the day by terrorizing our family members with an abundance of energy at 3 am and attack everyone's feet while they try to sleep. It's not easy but someone's gotta do it. 

If you can't get enough of original cat memes, be sure to check us out on Instagram where we feature original cat memes daily!
