pig

Jody Fraser, whose love for animals is so big that she ended up having a mini farm right inside of her home, and two of the animals have - unexpectedly - become best friends. Her pig and her kitten are absolutely inseparable. 

Fraser lives just east of Calgary, after having moved to the countryside last year with her two cats, dog and turtle, as CBC reports, and since she had some more space, she decided to get some chickens as well. "So that was the beginning of my fascination with all of the animals," she told the Calgary Eyeopener. Around three months ago, Fraser added a pig to the collective. "He's just the nicest little crazy pig ever and very, very low maintenance," she said. "I've always just loved the pigs. So it's kind of funny how now I have my own." 

The animals living together under the same roof has inevitably brought them all closer, but two of them have become especially good buds." Wilbur the pot-bellied pig, who is now five-months-old, has become best buds with a new 12-week kitten named Billy," and they are too cute together.

"The two, just right from the beginning, became the best buddies ever. They just love each other. I'm not sure where it came from," Foster said. They sleep together and help clean each other. "The pig will clean the kitten, actually, and every once in a while you see the kitten actually cleaning the pig's ears. So it's kind of funny."

Their friendship has made Fraser rethink moving the pig out of the house. "I was only going to keep him in the house because he's still really little… but I was to put him outside in the spring," she said. "I'm hoping that I do decide to still do that, but he's become part of the family now, so I don't see him going outside." 

This little animal family keeps growing, and Foster is always interested in carefully expanding it even more. Follow Wilbur and Billy and their friendship on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok to see more of it. And for more wholesome animal friendships, read about this fox whose brother was run over befriending his human foster mom and two of her dogs. 

In the words of imgur user caesarstoga, "[t]here seems to be a critical shortage of these chaps on Imgur," and the same goes for the rest of the internet. These unique pigs are probably one of the most adorable pig breeds out there, and in this viral imgur thread, caesarstoga teaches us exactly why. 

They're cuddly, they're harmless, their tiny widdle piglets are the cutest, and they love hanging out with cats. There is nothing else that we could ask for. Allow these "fat and round" creatures to warm your hearts and your snouts, and us and the piggies wish you "a cracking good day". 

Is there anything more wholesome than tini-tiny widdle animals? We don't think so. Whether it's tiny frogs, tiny crabs, tiny pigs, or any other tiny being, their little smol selves have a way of sneaking into our hearts like nothing else. 

We honestly hadn't realized how adorable and tiny pigs could be for a while, but once we saw a tiny piggy, that's it, game over, our hearts were stolen. We couldn't look away. Looking at these tiny oinkers truly brings us joy, and we hope they'll do the same for you. But if tiny is not what you're looking for, we've got some giant kitty floofers for you to check out. 

Attention! Attention! We've got twelve little attention hogs here that demand your attention, and gosh darn, they shall have it!

According to LiveScience; Pigs, hogs, and boars are all describing the same animal. There are some distinctions, obviously, the term boar is to describe an uncastrated domestic pig, but at the same time, it also means a wild pig of any gender. 

And while a majority of piglets shown below are wild hogs, it's important to note these animals are indeed very dangerous. We just enjoy looking at them while they're young, and we hope you enjoy so too! 

Now, please stop whatever you are doing and give these hogs your undivided attention! 

Now that spring is here (even though it will take a while before we can all enjoy it), there's one adorable creature enjoying the sun and the beautiful flowers- Fluffy, the therapy pig. 

Canadian photographer, Chantel Levesque, captured whimsical photos of Fluffy playing in a field of pink tulips and the result will sure bring a smile to your face.     

Fluffy is part of the Khalizoo Zootherapy team, a group of animals that help support individuals and groups struggling with emotional, psychological, social or physical difficulties. 

Levesque met Fluffy a few years ago and was instantly charmed by her cuteness. 

Their photo session showcases Fluffy's "girly-girl side," and she even has pink toenails to match! "

Check out the adorable photoshoot below and find more about Levesque's portfolio on her website.

If you can't get enough of Fluffy, you can follow her on Instagram.

Guaranteed to make you squeal with delight! 

Tokyo's numerous pet cafes have become a refuge for stressed animal lovers. Obvious candidates like cats and dogs have their own dedicated cafes, but you can also find birds, hedgehogs, and even reptiles. But this time, we would like to update you there's a whole new breed of animal cafe. It's Tokyo's first micro-pig cafe and it's called Mipig.

For 800 yen you can hang out with the tiny snufflers for half an hour.  Many ran around sniffing patrons and looking for treats, while others made themselves comfy on the laps of customers, even nuzzling up for a little sleep.

Animal welfare is always a massive concern when planning to visit a pet cafe, but Mipig works to alleviate the most common worries. There's a reservation system in place, limiting the number of people allowed in at one time so that the pigs don't get overwhelmed. Mostly the customers sit on the floor at their assigned table, and the pigs can move around to wherever they want. Check out some of the cute photos on their official Instagram page.

Animals are a gift and blessing for humankind. From funny pets, to wild animal bloopers, they offer an endless amount of laughs, often unintentionally at their expense. But with nearly countless hours of material to sift through to find which ones are worth our notice, and which need to go the way of the dodo, you wonder what some of the best ones are. So for your viewing pleasure and hilarity, we have collected some of the best animal gifs around to satisfy your cravings. 

Picture this: you're walking down the aisle in an airplane and when you find your seat, there's a turkey sitting next to it. Or a pig. Or a monkey. It sounds like a comedy routine, but it isn't. In the past few years, there has been an unprecedented rise in people having 'emotional support animals', particularly when traveling on airplanes. While any step towards improving mental health is applauded, there have been many incidents involving emotional support animals on airplanes that really don't belong there. We can't blame these untrained animals for acting the way animals act, but we can question the laws that allow them on board. With new regulations from the US Department of Transport, things are about to change. We discuss these changes below, and whether they are for the better or the worse. 

If you've been online in the past two days, you might have noticed that the internet is erupting with memes, jokes, information, and even an interactive game, about 30-50 feral hogs. What the heck is going on, you might ask? Well, what started out as a serious question by a Twitter user amidst America's seemingly never-ending gun reform debate is nonetheless a genuine question that we must address. The famous question goes as follows: "Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?". While the specificity of this question has driven many to hilarity, feral pigs in America are no laughing matter. They can wreak irreversible damage on ecosystems, endanger native plant and animal species, and can even harm or kill humans. Here's what the deal is with feral pigs in America. 

These piglets are just so gosh darn irresistible! One look at that face, looking up at you and smiling -- you'll just turn into a puddle of mush! (Can confirm from previous experience.)

Get those hearts ready for some major aww's!

More specifically, two Kune-Kune pigs, named Tim and Faith! The piglets will be joining on their Friendly Kingdom ranch on Washington State's San Juan Island, where the happy couple currently cares for goats, sheep, and a cow. 

However, not everyone is happy about the actors choice of words when it comes to saving the animals. Check out some of the comments below and share your thoughts!
