Every one of us animal lovers, every once in a while, feels the need to know more - more animals, more about animals, the more we know the better. But we don't always know where to start finding these unique creatures. Well, let us introduce you to one of the most unique twitter accounts we've come across that showcases the most unique animals out there in all of their glory: @StrangeAnimaIs.

We could scroll through their tweets for hours and hours and constantly find some new strange but beautiful animal to admire. Nature is just amazing, and these tweets help us come just a tad closer to appreciating just how amazing it is. 

Glow worms in pitch black black caves are one of the most beautiful natural phenomena we've come across. One of the most known places to visit such caves is in New Zealand, and we think that if you have a chance to visit, you absolutely should. These places are nothing short of magical, and we can only imagine the feeling of passing through a cave like that. 

Unlike their name would suggest, glow worms are not actually worms. They're part of the beetles family. But regardless of what exactly they are, their bioluminescence is absolutely stunning, and we hope that looking at their pictures will bring some magic into your day.

All cats are beautiful - big, small, wild or tame. And Bengal cats are of course no different. You have to admit though, that their little wild cat spots and their quirky house panther purrsonality make them incredibly unique, and we, cat lovers, love showing some love to the unique kitties among us that don't get enough of it.

So, it's time for some unique cat appreciation. The star of today's list is one especially underappreciated kitty - the Charcoal Bengal kitty. They are unique, gorgeous, as feisty as any other Bengal, and we don't see them being given love nearly as much as they deserve it. 

Chance encounters between different species are always something to behold. Puppies with kittens, cats with babies, big scary cats with tiny house cats, it's all incredibly adorable. But what are the chances of a butterfly sitting on an animal's nose? And not only that but capturing such a moment in a photo? That's as rare as these moments get.

Today, we are sharing some of these rare moments with you. Wholesome moments of butterflies ending up on the noses of other animal species. These butterflied are entirely unsuspecting, and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. Any pictures of animals with butterflies are something to cherish, not just nose butterflies, and we've got some of those for you to enjoy too.

Though fall has just started and many of us are suffering from a serious heat wave, before the cold finally hits, we thought that this is just the time to show appreciation to what nature can provide us with. Cats and flowers. Nature's most beautiful creations, right? So, what's better than combining the two and taking in some incredibly aesthetically pleasing, aww-worthy pictures of our darling princes and princesses wearing flower crowns? 

It's not just cats too. If you're in the mood to celebrate nature's beauty some more and would like a dash of tongue lolling, pawdorable dogs in flower crowns, we've got you covered. 

All cats are beautiful! However, some tend to have features that you don't quite see often! 

Here are some uniquely beautiful cats who are purrfectly purrfect in each and every way. Like all cats. 

 Andrew Marttila (the photographer behind Shop Cats of New York) does it once again and captures the essence of silly cats and their adorable expressions as they react to catnip. Marttila's new book, Cats on Catnip, shows the different reactions to cats from catnip and just by the looks of these few photos, it's adorable! Cats on Catnip is now available Here!

It's always a rare sighting if we see an all white or all black animal. No we aren't talking about cats and dogs! The animals in the animal kingdom can sometimes have the rare features of Melanism and even Albinism. Just take a look at these stunning comparisons!

We are all busy, but once in a while we need to slow it down and breath in what we have... just like these animals

Tippi Degre may have been born and raised in Namibia, Africa but, she was no ordinary girl. In fact by the looks of these photos, you can probably say she could be the real life Mowgli...

"Dog Years" is a look at the lives and stories of 30 dogs. Of 30 best and loyal friends... then and now. Photographer Amanda Jones presents each dog as a puppy and again as an older dog. Her gorgeous portraits capture each of the dogs everlasting personalities. 

These are only a few photos from her book "Dog Years" Available Here
