If you're anything like I was before I adopted a cat, you know three things: you loves cats, you want a cat, and you don't know the first thing about taking care of them. That shouldn't stop you from adopting a cat, not if you want to give it love and cuddles and the best life it can have.

Of course, you can always go on the internet and look for information about raising cats, that's what I did, but the information is scattered, and it can be hard to filter through what you really need to know and what you don't. Thankfully, carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory on tumblr decided to collect all the information that you need and put it in one place, creating the ultimate guide to cat adoption that will answer most, if not all, of your questions and make the process of getting a cat a much less scary one.

Here's something different! You know that popular subreddit, "Explain It To Me Like I Have 5?" Well, this is sort of like that but better because it only involves one thing...

Cows. 

Imagine, things you were never quite sure about finally explained to you in a language you can comprehend, in terms of cows. Thankfully, NewsTalkZB had created such a thing and learning has never been easier! 

So buckle in, folks! And get ready to learn things you may or may have not known, all in terms of cows. 

It's scientifically called a "siphonophore Apolemia" but everyone is calling it the world's longest "long stringy stingy thingy."

Which, honestly, is way more catchy. 

International ocean researchers may have just discovered the longest living... thing... in the known world. Captured in a haunting video and explained upon in a Twitter thread by biologist Rebecca Helm, who specializes in studying jellyfish at the University of North Carolina Asheville.

Helm calls the footage gave her "chills." Find out why below. 

We all love Llamas and Alpacas, but do you know how to differentiate between the two? Yeah, we have no either. 

Until we read these very informative infographics! Now we're Llama and Alpaca pros! Go on, ask us anything. 

To sum up what we learned here today: Alpacas are adorable and sweet. Llamas are adorable, want to kill you and spit on your grave. 

Service dogs are always on the lookout to keep their owners safe and sound. They will go beyond to do so as well, especially if their owner is in trouble and needs help. When a dog first approaches us, the first thing we think other than how adorable they are, is where is it's owner? Well, it's the same for service dogs, except they are approaching you for help, for their owner. Melissa Hope (@lissalet) offered up a public service announcement on Twitter after an incident like this happened to her.
