The use of live animals in circus performances has been a highly debatable issue for decades. And while many of those debates end up with vague plans to put bans on animals in circuses, there are other people who bring those plans to life right here, right now. Circus Roncalli in Germany now uses stunning holograms instead of real animals in their shows, and people can’t stop admiring them.
You call your beloved cat to have his dinner. Sir Scratchy! Suddenly, you hear loud stomping. The dishes on the dinner table clink with every thump. A painting’s fallen off the wall! Is it an earthquake? No, that’s a cat the size of a pony walking into the dining room! It needs ten times as much food as the average cat. And it purrs like a tractor! No, Scratchy, stop rolling, you’ll turn over the cupboard! Well, this is one possible scenario for the evolution of animals in the future. Climate, water, oxygen in the air, and even gravity are factors that influence the course of evolution. For example, scientists predict that some bird species will gradually lose their warm feathers. In the future, they will basically look like sphinx cats with beaks and wings. The same thing might happen to our pets. Gradually, their fur will become shorter until they’re completely bald.
You know what they say: animals are people’s best friends... unless they’re busy making a mess of your house. But that’s the beauty of our 4-legged friends — they have a talent for making themselves at home wherever they dang well please. In this article, we’ll be showing you some of the most hilarious animals.
Animals are known for their cuteness, but they are also capable of making us laugh with their silly and playful antics. From dogs chasing their tails to cats getting stuck in funny positions, there are countless hilarious animal moments captured on camera that have gone viral on social media. Here are some of the funniest animals that are sure to put a smile on your face.
Animals have special powers, and one of them is to perk up your day. They are too innocent to hide their real wishes and emotions and this quality is a gift to people because it forces us to laugh and smile more.
Many animals may appear strikingly similar at first glance, leading even dedicated Animal Planet viewers to mistakenly confuse them. Take, for instance, the jaguar and the leopard, or the llama and the alpaca. However, let’s set the record straight: the jaguar and leopard differ in body structure, spot patterns on their skin, and tail length. Similarly, the llama and alpaca vary in fur, muzzle, ear shape, and body size.
You can get a pet for a constant source of happiness and to always be in a good mood. Animals just love us — it doesn’t matter whether we are sick, tired, or full of energy. Take a look at these sweet little creatures below. We hope they’ll make you smile.
You might be mistaken if you think you can control your pet. They’re total individuals that make their own decisions and easily show what’s on their minds. Even if a cat decides to taste something forbidden, it could mean that the animal is just too curious and needs to learn more about the world.
Animals are so different, but in some ways they are just like us. The only thing is that they show their wants and emotions in a more innocent way. They stay naive and childish all their life and only ask us to love them more.
Unlike us, animals have no boundaries and don’t worry so much when it comes to completing difficult tasks. They simply see the goal, with no barriers in the way. And they don’t really care what anybody thinks about it. In a sense, we have a lot to learn from these beautiful creatures.
Animals are the best antidepressant. The human-animal bond can help reduce anxiety, depression, and loneliness. When you feel lost or broken or your day goes wrong, hug your pet and your world will become filled with love.
For some years now, selfies have become very important in our lives. And there is nothing better than being able to see yourself in the camera before clicking. However, certain elements can improve them even more. And no, they are not filters, but very special animals, which come into the picture with all their magic to turn an ordinary photo into a shot worthy of framing and hanging in the living room.
Animals can make your home cozy and your life more joyful. They can easily boost your mood just by behaving childishly. Even if your dog steals the fresh bread you’ve been baking the entire day, it’s not possible to stay mad.
Albino animals can have a tough time in the wild because of poor eyesight and their inability to camouflage. However, some are lucky to be protected by people who truly cherish them. This is the case of albino squirrels in the city of Olney, in Illinois, who have been part of the city’s history since at least 1902. There they have laws to protect these special creatures, including right-of-way on all streets and sidewalks.
Our lovely animals sometimes surprise us with their behavior. Your dog may love chips and steal them behind your back. A cat may act like a toddler who loves to suck a pacifier. All these human-like habits make us feel like they are not just pets but our real friends, or our fur babies.
The world is a richer place because of animals. Their unconditional love and selflessness have taught humans countless lessons and every day they are a source of joy for multiple families. Their kind acts and displays of endearment are often caught on camera, in photos that could warm even a heart of stone.
Animals are like kids and even if their behavior is spoiled, you can’t stop smiling with tenderness. There are always here for us when we feel bad, frustrated, or happy. No matter what day it is, animals stay our best friends.
Animals also need attention, and they’ve mastered ways to get it. Your cat can yell at you during a Zoom meeting, or a squirrel can show its tongue through the window. Each animal is individual and uses different ways to be noticed.
According to the famous zoologist, Konrad Lorenz, “baby schema” can explain why we find babies, small animals, and tiny objects cute. Baby animals remind us of human children, and our natural instinct is to shelter and protect them. But our reaction to seeing adorable things can also include “cuteness aggression,” a response that makes us want to touch and squish tiny creatures.
People can easily identify an animal in a picture; it usually takes just a few seconds. But not everyone can recognize an animal by seeing only part of its body — for example, the nose.
If your cat wants to eat, there is no way to explain to them that they should be on a diet. Just be ready for your garbage to be thoroughly examined for food. Animals have their own ways of how to act, and you can’t control it.
Animals, like human beings, can have their own culture, morality, and emotions. They are even capable of mind-reading. No wonder, our pets can sometimes show their daring, rebellious side. They also want to express themselves and have their own wishes and ideas.
Many feline experts agree that an adult cat’s intelligence is equivalent to that of a 2 to 3-year-old child. And dogs are close to a human child at age 2 to 2.5 years. It’s no wonder they behave like kids and ask for our attention like toddlers sometimes.
Ah, evolution, it’s a funny thing. For us, it’s hard to imagine the prehistoric world, so different from what we know, along with the strange creatures that inhabited it. For example, in the Cambrian period, the ocean was shallow and the sun never set. Every day was Sunday morning and there was never any darkness. Animals had just invented eating each other, and having eyeballs was all the rage. Thinking that our cats and dogs descended from those guys is mind-boggling at best.
Animals are a well-known source of endless joy for many. In fact, a number of studies point to the fact that animals of all sorts, like dogs, horses, and even crickets, can have a positive impact on our mental health. Luckily, the Internet is full of wholesome content for everyone to enjoy, including those who don’t own a pet. It’s the perfect work break entertainment.
Yulia Derevschikova is an animal-loving wool artist who creates adorable animals that are so cute, we can barely keep it together. She started her creative journey back in 2015 and has made over 100 of these animal models. She uses a felted wool technique, and it takes her up to 20 hours to make a small animal figure. Her work has become so popular that she started selling them worldwide.
They say a child is a flower in the garden of life. And to fully understand this saying, you probably need to become a mom or a dad. Even then it still takes some time, because you have to go through so many things that you don’t have time for philosophy. And this theory isn’t just referring to humans — animals experience the same AHA! moments.
Animals are like kids, and behaving normally all the time is boring for them. They can allow themselves to be derps and still stay charming. Just let them be kids because this is also how they show trust.
Sometimes, when life gets too boring and repetitive, all we need to do is see things from a different perspective. This is exactly what Taiwanese American artist, Lucia Heffernan, does with her artwork. On her Instagram account, Lucia showcases her unique paintings that portray cute and cuddly animals in typical human situations. To put a little smile on your face today, Bright Side has curated some of her most relatable creations. See if the last photo reminds you of someone!
Animals have big souls. They return your love and attention subconsciously, even if you’re not in a good mood. Even research has shown that animal friendships are durable. They can become your soulmate as well — even if they can’t speak.
We’re used to pets showering their owners with love, but it seems that some animals don’t limit their affection to humans. They are born with a natural talent for building friendships with other species and even objects at times. This connection might be hilarious or even unsettling at first, but it proves to us how big the hearts of some 4-legged friends can be. And they remind us, once again, that love is a universal language that knows no limits.
Animals, like human beings, have their own character and habits. Some of them can even be actors in a comedy show. Your pet may even get offended, like a child, if you don’t scratch them behind the ear or if you give them the wrong food.
When it comes to friendship, there are no tags. It’s not just humans who are able to create lasting emotional bonds. Many animals have also been gifted with a remarkable ability to pair up, occasionally even with members from other species. Ravens and dogs, horses and kittens, kangaroos and cats, they’ve all formed a relationship that means love, protection, and joy.
Responsible adoption is one of those win-win situations. A furry little animal that was homeless, perhaps in a shelter with some complications, can capture the hearts of people who, for some reason, feel that this little animal should leave the place with them. When that happens, all faces, both human and animal, are filled with an obvious glow that speaks for itself.
Nature can sometimes feel inspiring and even play tricks on us. We might think that a 2-tailed cat or a long-snout dog are optical illusions, but these unique animals are here to show us that there’s always something new to discover in this world.
Besides being our best friends and helping us lead happier and fuller lives, animals can assist people and each other in a myriad of other ways. Sometimes their actions can be so unexpected and touching that we cannot help but wonder why. Some scientists who have investigated animal altruism came to believe that our furry and feathered friends don’t always do things in their own interests. They can prove to be capable of real empathy, just like us human beings.
