Awesome Animals

Mittens the kitten doesn’t grasp the concept of slinking around underneath the bed, and instead, propels itself around in a most unusual way we will refer to only as “catmanning.”

We already know there’s an art to climbing and descending stairs (and escalators). But as is often the case, cats do things very differently, as is demonstrated by this feline’s unusual ascent.

Watching nature at its most merciless can be fun, but it’s nice to see that animals can be more suave than savage. Watch as the manakin bird proves that ladies can’t resist the moonwalk.

We laughed at this one’s hypnotize-then-attack tactic. This kitten’s version is far more diabolical. We’re starting to see a trend here. Damn cats. We hope YouTuber moongrate is okay.

Freedivers with great white sharks. They say they are safe because they “adopt a proactive behavior” with the animals. Hard to do that when the shark can smell us peeing our wetsuits.

Well, it’s more cute than awesome. This baby panda has got the drive but needs a little more patience. Then again, he could be going for the old “wear ’em out.” Keep on dreaming youngster.

Crows wanna have fun. This smart guy used what seems like a plastic lid as a makeshift snowboard and a rooftop as its hill. We bet it doesn’t need a ramp or half-pipe to get some mad air.

Maru loves boxes. Sashimi on the other hand loves boxing. And scratching and scaring the hell out of YouTuber Soejima, despite all efforts to make peace with the cat. On Earth what will you do?

We’ve seen dogs go to great heights while playing fetch, but Willow goes to great depths, digging into a pile of leaves with fervor. She’s clearly having fun, which is more than we can say for these guys.

We’re not sure what sort of evil ideas this cat has rattling around its furry little head, but all we know is that from the way it’s staring at us, no good can possibly come of this.

Riley the brown dog has already been rewarded with treats for performing tricks, but it seems like she’s still hungry for food – or attention. Or maybe she just really wants to be her owner’s friend.

Teddy the Greedy Porcupine celebrated New Year with a bottle of champagne and – a cob of corn. Actually he didn’t care much for the champagne. We’ve never seen such a joyous eater.

Another case of cat bullying caught on camera. This actually happened to us when we were kids. Bruises all over. Not cool, cat. Fortunately the victim here didn’t share our fate and wasn’t injured.

We’re not sure what the original Begging Cat wanted, but this kitty is pleading for your help too. Either he wants the fried chicken in your hand, or maybe little Timmy is trapped in a well.

He’s not as depressing a sight as this dog, but you still gotta feel for this fella. He’s too polite to discard his leash and walks leisurely, as if he had a human with him. As opposed to this bundle of joy.

YouTuber MrPhillypickles put on a pair of Santa Claus pants on his dog, making him twice as cute but half as mobile. Or so we thought. It still doesn’t explain this other dog’s behavior though.

They both can kill, but we’ll put our money on the half-ton reptile over the lowly gas-powered lawnmower. Poor croc lost a tooth in the ordeal, but it’s not like the lawnmower fared much better.

We’ve seen babies stop crying and start rocking out to good music. Golden the dog proves that man’s best bud can appreciate a nice tune as well. He looks so mad whenever the music stops.

Weighing over a ton, and donning deadly snout-horns, you can only imagine the blood-curdling war-cry of the Rhinoceros. Watch this video, and your illusions will be shattered like candy glass.

While at Bwindi National Park in Uganda, YouTuber aleutiandream found himself being groomed by baby gorillas as the primates’ dad stood guard. A heartwarming yet pulse-pounding scene.

Devin Graham knows the way to get attention: puppies. He filmed a bunch of ’em doing what they do best: wreaking havoc and being adorable. We don’t recommend trying this yourself though.

Sir? Mr. Polar Bear, sir? You seem to have something stuck around your head. What’s that you say? You can’t hear us? Oh, well maybe if you remove it. Ah, that’s better. No, you don’t think so?

We already know that both dogs and cats can do tricks, but let’s find out who will reign victorious in this trick-off. Two pets enter, one pet leaves! Best video comment: “and the cat did it all drunk!”
