Awesome Animals

Sheep of the world, unite! Here is your leader. Though he may not be of your species, he feels for you and is eager to hear your thoughts. Rally behind him and let your bleat be heard!

We know the title sounds like a 4th String Jaeger, but in this case we’re being quite literal. The Vermont Grand View sheep farm doesn’t need a dog to guard their flock. Nothing’s going to get past Tigger here.

YouTuber Ryan Faw caught this mutt playing fetch with a river in Kobe, Japan. Unlike other self-fetching dogs, Ryan said that the dog’s owner was right there; the dog just seems to love his own brand of fetch.

We’ve seen dogs ride on skateboards before, but Dash is a true overachiever. Not only does he ride the bowls and ramps in an actual skate park, he knows how to flip the board over with his paws and continue riding.

He will not be contained. No, this mutt must be free. A little persistence – combined with a poor crate design – pays off for this little dog who just can’t be stopped. They should rename him “The Great Houdoggi.”

This is Tama the cat. He has a favorite TV show, a daily drama series. His owner says that it’s the most popular drama show in Japan. But Tama doesn’t like it for quite the same reason as humans do.

One of the security cameras at Edelweiss restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado caught this bear scavenging at the restaurant’s trash bin. But she’s not satisfied with dumpster diving. Yogi wants the whole pic-a-nick basket.

It’s probably not a stretch to say that all dogs love being hugged, but Buffy here knows just how to cozy up like humans do. Although if you reenact this with a person it probably wouldn’t be kid-friendly.

Collegehumor presents the canine equivalent of David After Dentist. Watch as these normally rambunctious dogs become less Tigger and more Eeyore after taking a good hit of anesthetics from the vet.

Vine user kingdaddy narrates a clip of a monkey treating a banana like Cookie Monster would a cookie. Though we have to say, the original video is actually quite off-putting. We’d wild out too if we were being treated like that.

To promote its organization, Pets Add Life made this amusing commercial in the style of the viral video of the talking dog. The buildup will have you as excited as the dog, only to end on a cliffhanger.

This time-lapse video from one of Alberta Parks’ cameras shows a promiscuous tree. It starts off with one black bear, then it parties with an entire group of grizzlies who know how to bump and grind. Yippie-yi-yo yippie-yi-yay!

You’d think that these skinny little birds would have no chance against deadly gaze (and jaws) of this alligator, but it turns out theses sandhill cranes have no problem telling this gator to stay off their turf.

There are a million covers of Daft Punk’s hit single Get Lucky, but only one of them features Black Cat. This futuristic feline’s silver tongue speaks to all of us. Especially the part that begins at 1:00.

(Gore) ZeFrank presents the owl. Like bears, many owls are fuzzy and cuddly, and their young are insanely cute. But the truth is they grow up to be well-equipped predators and are more likely to rip your eyes off than be your pet.

Alligators and crocodiles have a special move they do to help rip the flesh from their prey. Now, watch this awesome and brutal feat of strength as captured by the high-speed camera of Earth Unplugged.

(NSFW: Language) Shawn Stamback’s pals were diving off the coast of Central California when a school of fish went wild just a few feet away from them. Just as sudden, the mouths of two humpback whales emerged from the same spot.

On his trip to the Amazon Rainforest, Destin of Smarter Every Day found a group of caterpillars that seem to have figured a way for all of them to move faster. How? By acting as each other’s conveyor belt. Unedited video here.

We’re not quite sure what these dolphins think of the girl performing gymnastics in front of their aquarium tank, but one of them seems to be sufficiently amused to break off from its school and take in the free show.

Mark Clark was about to touch a bumblebee with one of his fingers when bumblebro met him up high with one of its legs. Meanwhile, in Bee News, a brave citizen successfully fends off an attack from a giant without using his stinger.

In a world where turtles are not expected to do anything spectacular, one brave soul will dare to rise above. To prepare for his daring attempt, he took lessons from no less than the legendary Stealth Cat.

A sea otter plays hide and seek with an Australian cattle dog. The otter panicked at first, but then it realized that the dog wasn’t really out to harm him. So he began trolling the canine. Watch what he does at the end.

We’ve seen this Border Collie’s amazing aerobatic skills before, but Jumpy does much more than his name indicates. He comprehends English better than some people we know. That “go pee on mommy” trick is priceless.
