weird

Although all animals are beautiful, some animals are more unique than others. Whether it's because of how rare and underappreciated these animals are or because they have some unique characteristic. Such is the case with 'Long Boi' - 'the tallest mallard duck to have ever lived' that drove twitter crazy over the weekend.

Twitter does that sometimes - going nuts over a particular animal. From celebrating Viscachas for looking like they're perpetually done with everything to going nuts over the fact that octopuses sometimes punch fish for no reason other than spite. We love the things that make animals unique, and we love them even more when they're hilarious. 

Listen, no matter how good your intentions are, sometimes... weird things happen with your pets. Inevitably, your dog will eat something it shouldn't, your cat will get stuck in a closet, and your might forget your sleeping sugar glider inside your bra when you go to your urologist appointment. At least... @LizerReal did. 

Though she kept everyone updated on what was happening after she realized the little glider was in there in a thread that went viral on twitter, one can only imagine the stress she was under, trying to keep the adorable glider safe. Everything passed just fine, thank goodness, with the glider sleeping through the appointment like nothing happened, and getting back home safely. 

Lesson for everyone - double check that there are no pets in your bra when you leave your house. 

Crocodiles are terrifying, right? Whenever you're watching movies and a crocodile comes into the frame, you know things are about to go down. God forbid you see one of them in real life - running is probably the best option if you do. Floating there in the water, not moving an inch, looking all... menacing. We've all seen these incredibly cool animals on land, but have you ever considered what they look like underwater? 

Answer: the look absolutely hilarious. And twitter has just discovered that information too, making this totally random thing about a totally random animal go viral, causing us all to laugh at something that is nothing but pure. Of course, if you want to see crocodiles being adorable, you need to look no further than baby crocodiles making cute noises that sound like laser guns.  

The internet is full of weird mashups we don't necessarily need (or know we need until we see them). And this is one of those mashups. Introducing: animals with human faces. You don't need to know any more. Just scroll down and enjoy the wacky world of the internet. For more hilarious animal photos, have a look at these pictures of cats that are just wrong. 

Do you ever see a photo of something that's just wrong? Whether it's a weird angle or a trick of the camera, perfectly normal photos can be transformed into photos that are just...wrong. Here are 12 of those photos, and they show cats (or what were once cats) changed into completely new, hilarious creatures. For more funny photos, have a look at these animals that are cute and they know it. 

Animals are cute. That's a fact. But you know what's even cuter? When you mix two animal species together to get a whole new kind of animal. Here are 12 new animal species that we think are adorable and should be created (so if you're listening, god, we want a elephoo next please). If you're after more funny animal photos, have a look at these owls walking determinedly. 

Cats. Is there anything more that we need to say?

It's enough for us to say this one word for millions and millions of thoughts to go through our head. From cats being the cutest beings in the universe to cats being the biggest jerks in the world to thinking of how we would basically do anything and everything for our cat to be happy. But the most immediate thought that we have when we hear the word "cats" is: "the world's most loveable weirdos."

And it is this thought exactly that we will be capturing today - with a collection of pictures of cats just being... cats, aka. the world's most loveable weirdos. 

Oh, twitter, the things you go crazy over always somehow manage to make us laugh. We can't blame twitter this time though, because they lost their collective minds over one of the weirdest/ coolest/ most awesome animals out there - the silky anteater. 

What's amazing is that this isn't even the first time twitter loses it over anteaters. Something about them just seems to get to twitter users. But, you know what, it's not like we complain. The more exposure we give to these animals, the more people get to know them and love them, the happier we are as well.  

Have you ever watched an animated movie, and you're sitting there, enjoying yourself, and then one of the worst, most terrifying-looking animal comes onto the screen and you feel like you've fallen into a different dimension? Well, twitter users are going through this existential crisis today, and we think it's so funny. 

For some reason, movie animators have a tendency to try to make animals look more "attractive" or more "realistic" by giving them human features, and they always miss their goal by a mile and a half. And give us nightmares in the process. At least these animated animals are funny to laugh at though. 

If you have ever spent some time on the internet looking through animal pictures, you know that there are some insanely weird animals out there in the world. The kind of animals that just do not look real, the kind of animals that you look at and think that there is no way something like this exists in the real world, you will not believe it unless you see it. 

We, as animal connoisseurs, have gotten used to coming across weird animals online, but when regular twitter users encountered them, hilarity ensued. And we just had to share it. 

This is one of the strangest videos we've ever come across. Do you remember the Pixar film 'Ratatouille'? And how "anyone can cook"? Perhaps this is a true way of thinking. That anyone can do anything... even animals. When we think of cats on pianos, we think of them running across them during their regular psychic runs, and with each step on the piano keys, a loud and awful sound that would also terrify the cat running across it. 

Not this cat. This cat in the video below, is standing up on the piano seat and it presses individual piano keys and the result? Kind of amazing. A lot of Redditors were also impressed by this cat's clear skills and we're afraid to comment on their thoughts. 

We, cat owners, know that our cats are majestic beings. They are descendants of great, dangerous, glorious felines. So, of course, we make sure to treat them in a way that is appropriate. 

We present them with water, food, snacks. We pet them when they want it and get scratched when they don't. But the first thing we do to show our royal cats the respect that they deserve is give them a name - the most regal and majestic- okay, fine, we call them the dumbest things sometimes. 

Beef Stroganoff, Green Bean Casserole, Meowgan Freeman. They're all beautiful, regal and absolutely hilarious. 

Is there anything better in this world than some puppers? Probably not. But something that does come close to the true magnificence of the doggo is the magnificence of tweets that are all about doggos. They will make you smile, they'll make you laugh, they will put butterflies in your belly and warmth in your hearts almost as much as real doggos would.

And seeing that the week is ending, and we could use some of that doggo positivity, we have collected for you the very best dog tweets of the week - the cutest, funniest, most wholesome and most viral tweets, in the hopes of making you smile. Because few things make us smile as much as animal twitter does.

When your cat runs away, that is one of the most horrifying moments. Whether you have a GPS on it or not, seeing that your cat is not home will freak out out. But what happens if your cat's GPS tracker is is going off, showing you that your cat is zooming around the neighborhood, while your cat is... right in front of you? Well, 520-year-old Andy Kindell just experienced that.

His one-year-old cat for whom he bought a £130 collar with a GPS tracking chip, came home one day without the collar and with a nasty injury on its paw, reports Aol. Naturally, Andy was relieved, but he still wanted to find the GPS collar and get it back, so, he went on a chase. And a chase it was, because apparently, the collar was "eaten by a rat."
