Awesome Animals

As much as we enjoyed those Budweiser frog and chameleon commercials when they were popular, we much prefer the offbeat and dark humor in this hilarious Australian commercial produced for Ford.

While at the Graham Norton Show, naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough is asked to lend his noble voice to this viral video of a tortoise making love to a croc. A Crocs sandal, that is.

If you’ve got big dogs, you know you need to keep counters free of food if you don’t want to provide a doggie smorgasbord. Here, Caos the Alaskan Klee Kai figures out how small dogs can join in the fun.

In Soviet Russia, every house sleeps in its own dog. At least that’s what we think is going on here with this pup who doesn’t quite grasp how a doghouse is supposed to work.

We can’t believe it, but the internet’s favorite cat just turned 4 years old. As a treat, his owner put together another tribute video, compiled from the big furball’s finest moments of the past year.

Norman is a performing dog and is known for riding a scooter. Here’s his new trick: riding a bicycle. If he can pull it off without the training wheels, we’ll put him in the same league as this dog.

A flock of sheep is plenty enough to prevent a car from entering their territory, but what’s a lone sheep to do to protect its land? Use its head. Thanks a lot, conniving cameraman.

Geckos’ feet hold onto just about any surface – including glass. But this slippery Teflon pan finally gets the upper hand over the gecko’s sticky toes. You might want to wash that pan now.

Elephants are some of the most intelligent animals on Earth, but they do have to start somewhere. Watch as these calves experiment with their trunks and learn the pros and cons of mud.

Hyundai UK unleashes a troop of baboons on the i30 to prove how durable the family- and wallet-friendly hatchback is. We’re not sure they proved much, but hey, a bunch of monkeys in a car.

A sloth of bear cubs form a conga line of cleaning, nibbling on each others’ heads. They could also be playing. We can’t be sure. We don’t speak bear. All we know is the dude in front is unfair.

A bunch of young giant pandas try their hand at a playground slide, only to be turned into furry bowling pins by one of their kin. One of them doesn’t seem to think it’s funny and walks out.

Here’s another animal-powered fountain of energy, courtesy of Flying Horse and a scientist who should win the Nobel Prize in Troll Physics. We need the schematics for that dryer-generator stat.

We may never know whether he’s bummed about a lack of catnip or having to do his business in a small box, but we can be sure that this little guy’s got plenty of cat scratch fever to go around.

A tribute by the Carmichael Collective, imploring us to remember a fallen member of one of Nature’s hardiest creatures. May it find peace, joy and crumbs in the great apartment in the sky.

This horse needs help to hold the guitar and its frets, but it makes a noble effort to strum all by itself. Now keep in mind we didn’t title this post “Horse Plays Guitar Well” for a reason.

These cats need to get upstairs, but instead of looking for a staircase, they take the easy way out (or up) courtesy of this low-budget lift contrived by their owner – who couldn’t afford one of these.

(NSFW) Despite what the title and the picture seem to imply, this video isn’t about software or computers. YouTuber monkeyspin was working when he heard a noise coming from his window.

We’re already familiar with one screaming frog, but this little green guy has every right to let out a wail as a kitty cat approaches and gives him a pat. The frog was not harmed, but our eardrums were.

It’s cute and funny to see Kya the lioness paw at baby boy Jack, but all that separates this lioness from a delectable baby treat (and tragedy) is a see-through glass barrier.

A story by KTUL about Tanner, a blind dog with seizures that led his owner to return him to the local animal clinic, where the vet suggested that Tanner be put down. Until Blair came along.

The crew from BBC’s Planet Earth Live better not let their bosses see this footage of a couple of toque macaque monkeys acting as cameramen. Bananas are way cheaper than a regular paycheck.

A flock of gentoo penguins does their best to make the vertical leap from the water onto the tricky surface of a huge iceberg in Antarctica – we had no idea they could spring out of the water like that.
