Are you ready to be completely hypnotized by these green-eyed beauties?! 

There's nothing more mesmerizing than a Suki, the adventure cat, dump! We've taken the time to think about why we love Suki and her adventures so much, and we came to the conclusion that we simply adore seeing any cat living their absolute best life. 

So without further ado, here are 15 pictures of Suki in her element:

Damn nature, you scary! Yet, strangely beautiful at the same time. Here are 15 gifs from wildlife, above and below water, that have left us in awe.

You might recall from a few weeks ago, the story we covered of the pregnant two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar. Sugar had a gorgeous maternity shoot that was captured by the talented Laura Shockley.

Well, as one would hopefully expect with any pregnancy... the puppies have arrived! And they're so deliciously cute, we want to gobble up all those mini-sugar pups! 

And to celebrate the occasion, Laura Shockley once again photographed the new family and just a warning, there will be definite squeals -- out loud and in your heart. 

Prepare yourself for some serious cuteness!

Amalie Markota Andersen has taught her pet rat, Darius, to do something quite extraordinary -- paint! Anderson herself is an animation and digital arts student and told The Insider that it only took Darius roughly 10 minutes to complete a masterpiece.

Darius used his feet to create his work and his painting have gone viral multiple times on Twitter and Tumblr. He's sold about 3 or 4 pieces. 

Unfortunately, the talented Darius passed away earlier in 2019. Anderson says her and Darius had a special bond and we're 100% sure of that.

Darius and his paintings have been going viral on the internet since this past Saturday, when pictures of him and his work were shared by a now-private account.

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This weeks spotlight goes to Henry, the Colorado dog and Baloo, the Siamese-mix cat! 

It's no surprise for a dog to be adventurous, go on majestic hikes, and to thrive in the great wide open! However, what is surprising is that Henry doesn't go on these outdoor adventures alone. He is accompanied by his best friend -- Baloo.  Henry and Baloo's owners, Cynthia and Andre, named Baloo after the famous Jungle Book character due to his laid-back personality and adventurous spirit! They didn't know how he would react to their dog Henry when they first adopted Baloo from the shelter.

Turns out, they were pretty lucky. The two seem to absolutely adore each other. Just look at the stunning images below, if you don't believe us! 

You can follow Henry and Baloo's adventures on Instagram!

There are different types of depigmentation in felines; Leukoderma ("white skin"), leukotrichia ("white hair") or vitiligo, which leaves cats with a "snowflake" appearance. All the conditions are very rare and purely cosmetic, meaning the animals who have the rare condition aren't physically affected by it.

Vitiligo is one form of leukoderma. It usually causes loss of pigment on the face and feet, and this form of vitiligo has been linked to cats that derived from South-East Asian (Siamese, Burmese and related breeds).

Is there anything more darling than a maternity shoot? Sure there is! If your model just happens to be a loyal, pure of heart, good girl two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar! 

Sugar is expecting her first litter and who better to capture the moment than Washington-based photographer Laura Shockley? Laura Shockley specializes in maternity, as well as, newborn shoots. She made headlines last year due to her gasp-worthy shot of a newborn ecstatically outstretching his arms, as if thrilled to have finally arrived into this world.

Now, Shockley is sharing her newest photo-shoot via Facebook featuring a pregnant pup! "This little momma is going to grace us with some short legged puppers soon! I can not wait for the next milestone session for her, the grandmother (me) 'purchased' her the maternity/newborn package!," Laura wrote. 

Shockley told PopSugar that Sugar is, "getting close to the end of her pregnancy and we took her for a day filled with pup cups and peanut butter treats, [and] it ended with her maternity session. If people can feel special on their photo shoot days, so can Sugar!"

We are definitely on-board with that! 

Complete with images of Sugar rocking a flower crown and tulle, and surrounded by a field of flowers, here is Sugar's gorgeous and one-of-a-kind photo-shoot: 

Isana Yamada, a postgraduate student created these 6 translucent whales to signify the 6 realms of Buddhism. The whales are swimming in a circle, which represents the six stages of Samsara. And within each of these whales, there are various objects such as: a submarine, volcano, sailboat, and a sea of clouds. The title of the piece is "Rinne Samsara", which is a Buddhist term for "cycle of existence".

Whale done.
