Time to learn and laugh at the time time, because when twitter decides to teach you something about dogs, it is bound to be funny. A desperate plea for information about dachshunds from a very confused dog owner went viral, and people replied in the masses, sharing stories about not only their experiences with meeting dachshunds and raising dachshunds but also actual information that'll teach you why these small pooches behave the way they do. 

This is the perfect thread for all of us confused dog lovers out there that want to learn but have no patience for it, because with funny viral tweets like these, you will not be able to stop reading even if you wanted to. So, enjoy, and next time you'll walk past a dachshund, at least you'll know why it's attempting to kill you.

There is beauty everywhere in nature, even in the places you least expect it. You walk around outside, and every time you do, you see birds - some of them beautiful, some of them less so. But not many of you have probably stopped to admire the beauty of a pigeon. We're used to common pigeons, so we don't think about them too much, but when we see a special pigeon colored like the rainbow... well, that catches our eye. 

And it definitely caught twitter's eye, with a tweet about the pink-necked green pigeon going viral, people admiring its beauty. And luckily, there was a pigeon expert at hand to explain to us exactly what this rainbow-colored beauty is. 

You know how you're in love with dogs? And by extent, any dog-looking this is also something that you want to pet? Yeah, we love wolves too, but... how big and dangerous are wolves actually? Because as far as we see, wolves are super affectionate, and they're the biggest goofballs, and yes, to us, they are basically dogs. 

Well, tumblr is about to give you a reality check by showing you just how big wolves are... But if you're anything like us, them being totally dangerous, enormous, and not always dog-like in behavior is... not going to stop you even slightly from wanting to cuddle them.

Every cat owner knows that cats food - the morning wake up screaming is iconic at this point. But some cats have the tendency to get too enthusiastic. My cat will sometimes eat so fast, she'll throw up almost immediately, and that's always awful to see. So, you have to do your best to take care of them and make sure that they don't end up hurting themselves with their overenthusiasm. 

Thanks to this informative and also funny tumblr thread, you're about to learn some ways to help your kitty calm down. It's advice for everyone - whether you have money to buy these things or you want DIY ideas. So, thank you tumblr, for allowing us to laugh and learn at the same time. 

If you're a cat lover like us, you have a soft spot in your heart not just for house cats but also for big cats. You'd pet them if you could, and you know it. And you wish you could spend more time around big cats like that and get to know them better, learn about each of them - what makes them special and different and what their personalities are like. 

Well, say thank you to tumblr user carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory for deciding to share their big cat knowledge with us and teaching us - unlucky big cat lovers who can't spend time with big cats - about what makes wild cats unique. Reading this has both educated us and made us want to cuddle a snow leopard even more. 

We all know that cats are the fiercest, coolest, most badass little beings. Even our little spoiled fluffballs have a little tiger in them. But the The Black Footed cat, well that is a true fierce kitty. Thank you, tumblr, for introducing us to this special wild kitty. 

Tiny even when it's fully grown, this murderbaby has a higher kill success rate than actual lions. And you know what, looking at it... we are truly terrified. We totally don't want to lift it up and cuddle it and give it snacks and kiss its fierce little head. Totally not. Then again, we love cats so much that we would probably say the same thing about actual lions, so... gimme that little murdermuffin, i wanna give it a smooch. 

Adopting pets is never easy. Even the most knowledgeable people have things that they will learn about each and every pet that they have.
