Baby chimps and puppies… need we say more?!

Jenny and Jim Desmond are parents to an unusual and very large family – over 20 orphaned baby chimpanzees. Their home in Liberia is rapidly becoming too small for this rambunctious troop of animals, so they're building a sanctuary in the forest. But before the babies can move out, they need to learn how to live like wild chimps. They need to attend a baby chimp school. And what's better than some puppies as playmates? Watch their unique story on BBC  

What's the first thing you thing of when you think of Winter? Snow! 

Snow is pretty darn magical, and might be the best thing to come out of Winter (we're not talking about full-on blizzards here).

What could make snow even more magical? Animals. Wildlife enjoying Mother Nature's beautiful snow-filled wonderland. 

And while we watch this, with our blankets wrapped around us and heater besides our feet, we can comfortable say that this BBC Earth special, 'Best of Animals in the Snow' is particularly a winter-inspired treat!  

Turns out, Wildlife filmmaking isn't just baby animals and exotic locations. BBC Earth made a fascinating video listing the highs and lows of the prestigious job. So do you have it all or not?

Cats are at a crucial point in their evolutionary journey as they transform from solitary hunters to domestic pets, a study by the BBC and the Royal Veterinary College has revealed. Our felines are adapting quickly to life in densely-packed cities, changing their behaviour to fit in with our 21st Century lives. They are time-sharing territory with other cats, killing less prey and learning to communicate with each other and people, research for BBC Two's Cat Watch 2014 found. Here is how our felines experience the world.

Adulting is hard, but that snow chick is so soft.
