In 2018, the Kiwi bird, native to New Zealand, officially moved from the endangered list to "vulnerable." They are incredibly elusive and difficult to capture on film but we gathered a few short gifs, just for you! 

Fun fact about the Kiwi bird, they lay really, really big eggs. We're talking huge, in comparison to the adult Kiwi. And their eggs can weigh up to 1 quarter of an adult kiwi bird's mass! Pretty wild!

We scoured the internet to bring you the cutest animal pictures and gifs of the week! Bringing you cuteness every week - stay tuned for next week's dose! If you missed last week's dose, and you need a cuteness overload, check out last week's here, or have a look at some adorable milk-mustached kittens or some tiny adorable teacup kittens to help overload that cuteness factor. 

What could be better than someone taking care of your beloved cat while you're away? Getting professional photos of your beloved cat! When Miranda McDonald asked her friend Josell Mariano to take care of her blue tabby cat Jade, he went above and beyond with an impromptu photo shoot of the beautiful Jade! 

According to Best Ten News, Mariano explained how he captured the magic below, "I used a 6Dmk2 with an f/2.8 24-70LII, and an f/1.4 50mm. Lighting is an Einstein strobe with a 24-inch beauty dish." But it also helps when your model is so darn photogenic! Mariano said, "Jade was a better model than I thought but was still super wiggly. She was distracted by treats and her favorite toy (which is a broken string on a stick)."

Sounds like the perfect cat sitter to us! These are almost as good as kitten memes, but nah, nothing beats those.

We all know pets make the workplace a happier and more productive place. A new survey has found that 65 percent of American pet parents believe that having pets in the workplace would benefit company culture. That same survey revealed that not only are pets beneficial to morale, but may help with recruitment and employee retention. While not every company has caught up to this idea, more and more offices are becoming pet-friendly in an effort to increase workplace morale and diffuse stress. Once again, Wellness® Natural Pet Food has put together a list of the most pet-friendly offices that go above and beyond to make their employees' furry friends feel comfortable and are setting the bar for what a pet-friendly office can be. So if you want to bring your pet to work, consider applying to one of these companies. 

What a beautiful little family! When the mother gave birth to a litter of kittens, the dad was right there to help groom and comfort her! If there was ever a picture to make you squeal and go, "awwwww!" this is it. 

We're here to tell you about a new adorable trend on Twitter: Pet Owners take videos of their pets in the wild — or, uh, on top of the kitchen table — and narrate them like the host of a nature show. It is exactly as delightful as it sounds. The challenge began as a prompt from Article Group, a marketing agency. They came up with the idea to celebrate the release of The Secret Life of Pets 2.

Damn, these animals have nailed the perfect picture pose! Look at those angles, that's the sign of a professional model. These purrfect animals' selfie game is hotter than the sun! 

The world's corals are fading fast and the Red Sea is no exception. In an article posted by The Times of Israel, it has been announced that an alliance with all the countries that border the Red Sea: Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen will come together to protect the corals from bleaching and dying. 

Sometimes life can get ya down. Whatever the reasons might be, if you're in need of a little pick-me-up or some inspiration, look no further. These wholesome memes will bring you all the good vibes you need right now. So have some faith in humanity, people.
