Do you think this is a photograph of an African village? No, it’s not. Find out more after the jump.

This hungry lion tries desperately to eat an armored Pangolin but fails. This happened in Tanzania. Apparently the scaly anteater was too tough for the lion. Either that or the lion really wasn’t that hungry after all. Who knew Pangolins were so tough?

It seems that a farmer by the name of Jia Kebing noticed a small bump on his cow’s forehead when it was born. Little did he know that the small bump would grow to become an 8” horn. It is truly a unicorn cow.

Sex isn’t the only thing that sells ads, animals do as well.  Check out how these great advertising animals coax people into buying products and services.

When seeing this photo the first thought I get is how dedicated and obedient this dog is. He is lying near the door to greet his beloved owner. But it’s not so simple… Why? Find out after the jump.

Meet fat cat Giuly. She is the latest Internet sensation. Her owner, Chiara Bagnoli from Florence, Italy, uploaded her pictures to the Internet and they a became the hit. The cat loves to pose for the camera, is very playful and very lazy, but not necessarily healthy…

Ha Wenjin is a real animal lover. This Chinese woman has quit her job, sold her house, vehicle and jewelry to take care of over 1,500 stray dogs and 200 cats.

At first she had just a few animals that she took care of in her free time. But as the number of her pets was growing, she gave up her career and devoted her entire day tending to dogs and cats. Soon she had created a real animal shelter, and had to find 10 people to look after the dogs and 2 people to take care of her cats. Many volunteers donate food to these dogs and cats that were forced to move to a new home, because government officials of China decided to reclaim the land where the shelter was built on.

Today Ha Wenjin and her pets live in Houyu village. Even though it is expensive and difficult to keep a shelter open, this woman has no intention of giving up in her desire to save as many stray dogs and cats as possible.

The photos of this little cutie were sent to us by Mateusz. He wanted these pictures to be posted in These Funny Animals topic but as there are a lot of pictures, we decided to make an entry. Thanks a lot for the pictures Mateusz.

These are some of the cutest and cuddliest cats and kittens that you have ever seen. They are so naturally inquisitive and playful that they are a pleasure to be around. As similar as all cats are, they also have individual personalities.

This young colony of Camponotus has a queen and 17 ant-workers. Wanna see how the 18th ant is born?

Meet Pua, the pet anteater. These are absolutely adorable photos. Apparently Pua likes playing dress up, car rides, and Cheese Whiz. In addition to being a unique pet, he can also walk upright. Whoda thunk it?

Meet the world’s heaviest pug named Jia Bio. This heavy weight doggie weighs in at a hefty 46.2 pounds. He outweighs the previous record holder by an amazing 9 pounds. He is cute but I assume he’s not all that healthy.

Everyone loves their pets, and when you find your cat or dog watching other cats and dogs it is always hilarious. Here are some homemade shots of TV watching cats and dogs.

Some people loved Harry Potter movies so much; they started to dress their pets as wizards and Gryffindor students. These are 20 photographs of Harry Potter themed cats and dogs.

These are some amazing close-ups of wildlife, taken by various photographers. Some of the animals in the photos are very dangerous. Wildlife photography is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. These photographers were very brave. 

These dogs all look like they are on some kind of drug or maybe they have been drinking. They have all the telltale signs such as lazy eyelids, sluggishness, and general slothfulness. I guess someone needs to call the doggie police.

For a crocodile, it’s easy to attack an elephant when they have such long trunks.

Apparently, the mother was protecting her baby from a crocodile.

It feels like it is a common practice for crocodiles to attack baby elephants. 

Now that's a fight!

Although most people probably don’t realize it, animals were used extensively in war. From pets to packhorses to animals that could go where a machine couldn’t. Every conceivable type of animal was used in time of war.

These are photos of spiders, insects and other creepy crawlies that were taken under an electron microscope. They were taken by Tom Jackson over a three month period. These micro monsters live in our homes, clothes, and even our bodies.

These rats sniff out landmines that are filled with TNT.  They are trained by a Dutch nongovernmental organization in Tanzania. Whenever they make positive detection they are rewarded with some food.   

For more information about these little sniffers you can check out our recent article we published just several days ago in our daily stare column 'Rats to Nuts.’ Now we have more photos.  

The famous proverb “A friend in need is a friend in deed” is not only about human friendship. We have paraphrased it, because it also refers to these two ducks that happened to swim in the same pond in Beaverton, Oregon (USA).

Melissa White dreamt about a micro pig that would become her little cute pet. On the day of purchase little Henry fitted in the palm of her hand, and the girl couldn’t even imagine what her micro pig would become in just one year.

This 10-day-old dolphin was injured by a fishing net and discovered near the Montevideo beach (Uruguay). There was no sign of the dolphin’s mother, so the mammal was lowered into a swimming pool at the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina centre. Local “resident”, the Magellan penguin, quickly became friends with a baby dolphin.

Beautiful black and white pictures with kitties and doggies playing and fooling around.

It will certainly raise your mood, especially for animal lovers.
