Whenever we feel blue, the universe seems to take notice and sends us something that can ignite a spark of happiness or curiosity inside of us. All around the world, people chose to proudly share their most surprising discoveries. Before publishing this article, if you had asked us to imagine a buff squirrel, we didn’t know where to begin.
