We love the boops! If there is a snoot in our eyesight, our immediate reaction is to boop it. No matter what animal, and no matter whose! 

But, please don't go around boop-ing snoots of those who don't belong to you... could be weird. It's simply hard to resist such boop-able snouts, especially when they get all in your face, like the images shared below. 

If you have a pet with a boop-able snoot, share a picture in the comments below! 

Comin' at you hot with some funny animal memes! 

The start of the week, so everyone needs a little pick me up. Some giraffes, some fishes, and a whole bunch of dank doggo memes to hopefully make your week a little easier to get through. So, get 'em now, and if you let one breathy laugh out through your nose, then we have been successful! And if laughing is not what you're going for, here are some adorable and wholesome otter memes to get you through the day.

The Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles is getting plenty of kitty attention this summer! According to the National Park Service, 13 kittens were born to 5 different mothers between May and August. 

It's the biggest mountain lion baby boom to occur in the past 18 years within such a short timeframe! National Park Service such a short period of time for the past 18 years! 

Jeff Sikich, a wildlife biologist, said in a previous statement, "This level of reproduction is a great thing to see, especially since half of our mountains burned almost two years ago during the Woolsey Fire."

When the story was shared on Twitter, a few users were wondering if this new kitten boom was in any way related to the pandemic and vanishing foot traffic. There's no way to know for sure but if so, we're glad to hear of another happy outcome from this year's madness. 

Check out some of the insanely adorable kittens below!

Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, to begin with! OK, time to dive into this week's top vids, we've got some real gems this week that need your undivided attention. Starting right... now. 

Cats and dogs are very different, that's true. They may spend most of their day sleeping and cleaning themselves, but all of us cat owners know that sometimes, our cats have very dog-like moments. We love them no matter what, of course, but the level of energy that they have sometimes can be straight-up shocking.

Sprinting in circles and falling off chairs in the process, here is a list of cats forgetting that they're not dogs and also that their tails are indeed attached to their bodies and going for a chase.

Silly, wholesome pups! These dogs don't quite realize how much they've grown! 

When you're a pup, and you're constantly on your human's lap -- I guess you'd figure you'd be able to be on that lap forever. And then all of a sudden, the things you once fit inside so easily don't quite feel the same... and the regular things (and humans) you laid on top of have suddenly shrunk tremendously. Yet, you still try because it fit once, it'll fit again, right?

Check out these overgrown pups who will forever be puppies at heart: 

Finally, some good news in 2020! 

The heartwrenching story of Tahlequah, the orca who kept her dead calf afloat for 17 days, is finally a mother once again! Our hearts are so happy for her and we wish her and her baby calf a healthy, long life. 

In 2018, Tahlequah lost her calf that lived only a half-hour, but this born-to-be mother was so heartbroken, she continuously pushed her baby calf up for 17 days. If that isn't love and perseverance. we truly don't know what is.  

The gender of the calf is unknown. 

Congrats, Tahlequah! You deserve happiness.

Good morning, lovely readers! We hope you have a fantastic day ahead of you but before that, we want to treat you to some fresh animal memes-- to really get the day started off right. 

There's really nothing like a good dose of animal humor and a touch of wholesomeness in the morning. It really brightens up the day, even if it's only slightly. 

We hope you've got that hot cup of joe and you're in comfy pajamas for this cozy treat! Enjoy! 

Kaavan, the elephant, had been living at a zoo in Pakistani, the capital of Islamabad, for more than 35 years. 

Sadly, Kaavan lost his partner in 2012 and has since been battling loneliness, as well as, living in poor conditions that have resulted in him being overweight, yet showing signs of malnutrition, cracked and overgrown nails of living in an enclosure with poor flooring that has damaged his feet. Up until now, Kaavan had been forced to live in a small enclosure, secluded from other elephants.

Now, steps have been taken to finalized Kaavan's transfer to an elephant sanctuary in Cambodia. A spokesman for Four Paws, Martin Bauer, announced this past Saturday that Kaavan had been granted medical approval to travel for a better life, but his journey to recovery will be a long one. Bauer said Kaavan's wounds are more than just physical, that he also suffers from behavioral issues. 

"He also developed stereotypical behavior, which means he shakes his head back and forth for hours. This is mainly because he is simply bored," said Bauer.

There is no word when Kaavan will travel, the push for his relocation has been going on since 2016 by rights activists. 

We are so happy that Kaavan will have a chance at a new, better life, and hope he travels to his new paradise soon!

We always want to spoil our pets. 

And let's be real, we do just that! So we put together some great finds happening right now on the internet that your pup will love and you will enjoy! 

From matching masks, and toys to even a fashional poop bag! 

It's always fun when you come across something that usually looks a certain way and all of a sudden, you see a new shape within it. Remind us of staring up at the sky and coming up with shapes out of clouds. 

Except, these items really do look unusual to everyone and you don't have to explain what part of the cloud looks like what. Here are 16 different fruits and veggies that somehow grew to look like animals or mythical creatures. We have no idea how they came to look this way but we are grateful for it because they are all delightful.
