Villagers in the coastal village of Candiis in the Philippines, are taking part in an initiative to protect turtle nesting sites have recorded their most successful season in awhile! With nearly 300 hatchlings released into the sea in the first half of May alone — and more expected before the month ends. In 2019, the town released only 315 turtle hatchlings from five nesting events.

300 critically endangered sea turtles! How incredible is that?  It's the first time that no eggs were spoiled, according to Rolando Pagara, a village council member who leads the community turtle conservation in Candiis, "Yesterday at around 5 in the afternoon while I checked the nesting ground and make sure the protected barriers are in place, I saw several turtle hatchlings were slowly crawling out of the sand. We immediately gathered, checked and counted them; the eggs are around 155 before releasing them into the sea at around 6:30 in the evening."

During this crazy time many of us have been confined to our homes and for some that means to be home 24/7 with our best friends. Our pets. However, because of this, many pets have become accustomed to having us home with them. 

But then the question is... will they be okay once bans are lifted and people are able to slowly go back to their daily routines?

Will they be able to handle their best friends not being by their side 24/7?

We miss Koko, the gentle and intelligent gorilla who learned to sign and communicate with her caretakers. She was truly someone special and this video only confirms that. 

On July 4th, 2015, Koko got her birthday for not only one kitten to come visit her, but a whole litter. Koko fell in love with one of the kittens who equally returned its love to Koko. Their bond is shown in the video and it's just beautiful. 

Koko passed away in 2018 but her memory lives on forever! Watch more Koko videos here.

Kittisaurus is back with another entertaining video of cats undergoing a challenge of some sort! 

The challenge? Cups. Contenders? Cats.

Do you think of the cats will make it through the obstacle? 

How beautiful is that?! 

Meet kind-hearted Hades, the pitbull. Hades and his dad, Juan José P. Flores, live together in Mexico and one day, Flores heard knocking at the back door leading to Hades' doghouse. 

As it turns out, a pregnant stray has decided to move into Hades home to give birth, and Hades? Had absolutely no problems whatsoever letting this mama into his territory to give the gift of life.

Hades even brought her one of his blankets and stood as a guard by the door! But that's not all! Since Hades was so fond of the pregnant stray, Flores decided to adopt her and her two newborn kittens. 

We love a happy ending.

Meet the handsome cat, William, who is meeting (for the very first time) his baby kitten named Artist.

Artist is 2 months ago, obviously adorable and very playful.

Here is how we are imagining the conversation between these two beauties went:

Kitten: "I'm looking for my dad."

Dad: "I'm looking for my son."

Kitten: "Well I hope you find your Son."

Dad: "And I hope you find your father." Walks away

This video is from 2017 but it just makes us feel so warm and happy that we had to let it surface once more! 

The video is only a bit over a minute but filled with a lot of emotions, excitement, and love, that you can just feel. 

Elephants are truly remarkable animals, so intelligent and gentle, you can just tell they have a big heart. 

According this is video, there are 7 stages in which a Maine Coon slowly falls in love with a newborn. Or at least in this case.

What are the stages?

Stage 1: "Ewww, what is it?"

Stage 7: "I'll take it from here, thanks."

Just kidding, but not really. Watch the see the delevoping love between the two! 

It's a common question that some of us don't actually know the answer to. 

"Is my cat playing or fighting?" It's hard to say when it comes to animals, they do tend to play a bit rougher than what we would consider "playing". However, even with all that rough playing -- are they actually fighting?

Jackson Galaxy explains the difference. "In this episode,  Joanna asks me to look at a video clip of her two cats Pudim & Olivia to determine if her cats are having a good time or if she's got a big problem on her hands. I break down this video into body language, timing, and territory to give her (and you) the answers as to what's going on and how to move forward!"
