cute animals

Okay, so as animal lovers, we normally say that all animals are cute. Yes, even the weird-looking ones are cute in their own way. Of course, it's hard to convince people of that sometimes. But! There is one full-proof way that we know of to convince anyone that an animal is cute, and that is finding the baby version of that animal. 

Because there is nothing cuter in this world than baby animals. Any animal in its baby form is double the adorableness, and there is no one out there who can simply withstand such cuteness. And so, we thank apoohneicie for collecting all of these cute baby animals and and the internet for making this thread go viral. You have put smiles on our faces, and we hope to do the same for you guys!

It's the end of the year, Christmas is coming, and we are soooo ready to celebrate. As a special treat, we've collected 40 Christmas themed animal tumblr posts to bring some animal shine into this into this holiday season. 

Some are funny, some are wholesome, others adorable, and some are just a little bit weird, exactly like tumblr does best. But these posts are all Christmas, all animals, and all tumblr. It's the kind of gift that we know you, animal lovers, will love.

So, have a merry Christmas, friends! Stay warm, drink some eggnog, hug your loved ones (and yes, we're very much including 'pets' in 'loved ones', please don't forget to hug them too), and stay with us throughout the next year, getting your animal fix every single day of the year.

Ah, Tuesday. Or as we like to call it, the second Monday. Luckily for you, and for us, the second Monday is the day when we refill the cuteness prescription and with our weekly prescription, you'll find yourself smiling and 'aww-ing' at the screen in front of you guaranteed, 

Once a week, we round up the cutest cutes we come across online and put them all in one delicious post, just for you. It's important to take your weekly dose in order to get through this crazy thing we call life and remember all the good and the ultra-cuteness out there. Thank goodness for animals, they bring us such a sense of peace and happiness -- there's really nothing like it. 

Take a deep breath, and enjoy this insanely adorable collection of animal pics and vids! 

Tiny baby deer, is there anything more wholesome? They're gangly, their speedy, their adorable, and they have the cutest, purest, most heartwarming ability of making friends with other animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, apparently fawns just like to cuddle and make friends. 

Unlikely animal friendships are some of our favorites. Any story of an animal from one species befriending an animal from another species has something quite special about it. But there's something about fawns being friends with other animals that is even more special still - perhaps it's the apparent innocence, perhaps it's just because baby animals are adorable. 

Regardless, get ready to have your heart flutter because these pictures are just too cute to handle. 

What's better than awwdorable puppies and awwdorable kittens separately? Adorable puppies and kittens together of course. Best of both worlds to the ones of us who are neither cat people nor dog people, those who cannot love either one more than the other. 

They may be itty bitty, but they fill your soul to the brim with the most innocent kind of joy, because they're the most innocent kinds of beings. It's a double portion of cute if you're feeling extra famished. So, grab another helping, and feast on the cutest of all cute, the tiniest of all tiny, and the most wholesome of both the cat and dog variety.

It's humpday and our recipe for getting over that obnoxious hump is memes, memes, memes, and tweets! But mostly memes. We know you're tired, this week is long and we're just halfway through it but with this handy dandy meme offering, you'll be even closer to the weekend than you were moments ago and that's enough reason to celebrate! 

Once in a while, we will create a hearty gathering of new and hilarious animal memes in the middle of the week as a treat to you. And to also help boost your mood because we understand just how hard it is to be stumped in the middle of the week. 

Without further ado, please enjoy this fine crafted meme and tweet collection: 

Another week, another much needed dose of inspiration - all in the form of the most interesting animal pictures we could find, each of which is worth no less than 1000 words. Because we love nothing more than some precious animals, and nothing is more inspiring than pictures of our favorite animals in some strange, strange situations. 

Sometimes, words are just not necessary to enjoy art, and other times, no number of words is enough. Cats and dogs to koalas and caterpillars, something in here is bound to inspire you to make up stories of your own. We know it makes our imaginations go off, and even if you're not in the mood to create today, cool animal pictures are always something good to have on hand wink.

After reading this adorable list of things real wolves tend to do, you'll want to meet a real wolf too. Tumblr user thewugtest has informed the interwebs of what it is like to hang out with a real wolf and it sounds absolutely delightful. 

Sure, some of it seems a bit too much (don't worry, you'll know what part seems too much after reading the thread), but overall, who in the world wouldn't want to experience such a moment? Not only do wolves seem cool but they really seem to live up to that expectation. 

Big ol' giant woofers with big ol' hearts! 

Do you know those times when you catch your pet doing something really weird and just have to snap a picture and send it to your friends? No explanation, no context, just a picture of your black cat staring at your new black cat figurine and having an existential crisis. Yeah, those are some of our favorite moments too.

Week by week, we bring you a whole collection of moments such as these - pictures with no context at all that you know there's a story behind, and that their story could never be covered in anything less that 1000 words. They're funny, cute, inspiring, and totally perfectly timed, and they are the best ones we've seen this week. So, enjoy and may you be inspired. 

When it comes to animals, no one has more love to spread than twitter users. Every day, every week, practically every minute, people tweet something new about animals, showing their love for the little creatures in many, many different ways. Everything from cats to alpacas and from funny animals to the most wholesome doggo meets baby pictures you've ever seen. 

So, every single week, since we know you love animals just as much if not more than any dedicated twitter user, we bring you the best, most viral animal tweets we can find. And we hope that all the positivity twitter has about animals spreads to you as well. 

It's always difficult coming back to work after a long weekend, and a full week at that. Luckily for you, you have us, and we have endless wholesome memes to help cheer you up! Wholesome memes in general do a lot of brightening for those gloomy, dark days. However, when you add animals to that wholesome meme mix, it's simply perfection. 

When you scroll through these wholesome memes, first thing in the morning, we hope it brings you not only happiness but a sense of calm and a great start to a wholesome week! If you need more a boost to get rid of those Monday blues, last week's leftovers were marvelous and deserve another taste! 

We've an update about one of the most positive stories to come out of 2020, and the update is just as wholesome as the original story. The (tiny) giant panda cub that was born at the Smithsonian's National Zoo three weeks ago has finally gotten a name, and it is the most appropriate and cutest name of all. Xiao Qi Ji is his name in Chinese, but it translates to 'little miracle' in English. 

The little giant panda has gone absolutely viral in the past couple of weeks after a video of his miraculous birth was released by the zoo, and since the world fell in love with the cub, the zoo decided to let the world participate in naming him. Of course, the internet does not disappoint when it comes to baby animals. 

We were given a choice of 4 names, and after three weeks and nearly 135,000 votes that have been cast, the adorable name 'little miracle' was chosen. The long waiting period was not an accident, it is part of Chinese tradition to wait 100 days before naming the cub. We wish the little cub luck and prosperity, and for his mother, Mei Xiang, to have many more adorable healthy cubs in the future!
