Can you imagine lazy squirrels? Inside this post, you will meet extremely lazy animals that look so funny and are also known as Squirrel Pancakes :)
This helpless little wombat named Karmann was rushed to a wildlife shelter, where she spent her next three months in an intensive care unit after being rescued from the pouch of her dying mother, who had been run over in Australia. She is adorable, even without any hair.
Australian local authorities have announced Toad Day Out. On this day all citizens of Queensland can catch cane toads and bring these poisonous amphibians that are rather toxic to a special destination. All live frogs are painlessly killed and turned into compost, which is used by the cane farmers.
While some people have a tough time with the catching huge toads, others try to protect these frogs from a roundup.
Amazing creatures live in the ocean. This is an amazing photo collection of unbelievable plants and marine animals of different sizes, shapes and colors.

This post is kind of emotional. I was surprised to see this, and I hope you won't get too upset.

This AquaDom was built in one of Berlin hotels in 2003. It’s the biggest cylindrical acrylic glass aquarium in the world filled with 900,000 liters of seawater and 2,600 fish of 56 species. Two divers work full-time to clean this huge 25 meter tall aquarium! No wonder that AquaDom that has costed over 12 million euros is the main attraction in Berlin. I wouldn’t mind taking the build-in transparent elevator and exploring the sea world myself!

The cat, named Muschi, and the bear, named Maeuscchen, in these photos are lifelong friends. While it may be an unlikely friendship, it began eight years ago when the 40-year-old Asian bear and the cat first met and now the cat can’t stand to be apart from her friend. The pair was recently split up temporarily and the distraught cat was soon spotted sitting outside the bear’s cage pining for her friend. Once reunited, they were very happy as they cuddled after greeting each other.

Here are some very touching photos of some kangaroos that were taken in the Belgrade Zoo. The jill and the joey seem to be doing just fine. These are some very rare kangaroos in so much as they are Albino kangaroos.

This post shows that global warming is not a joke. But at the same time it is shown in a humorous way. It is so close that we have to do something about it! "Ice bears" are already in panic! ;)
Joe Petersburger’s first prize in the World Press Photo contest is deserved as these unbelievable snapshots reveal the ideal fisher who is the quickest, funniest and the most dexterous. This fisher wouldn’t miss a single fish because he has to feed his little ones, trust me! Did you guess who I am talking about?

This interesting animal lives in the forests of Himalayas. The Red Panda’s taxonomic name is “shining cat”. Look at this funny animal! It is a little larger than a domestic cat; has reddish-brown fur, shorter front legs and a long tail. Red Panda loves eating bamboo. It is active from dusk to dawn. And it looks so cute on these pictures!
Those are some monster snails!!
The shells of giant African land snails often grow to a length of 20cm. You won’t find snails that big in your backyard except… if you live in Africa!
I think even Fench people don’t eat those…
These are animal eyes. It is easy to see which animal they belong to. Apart from the first one. I stared at it for 5 minutes and couldn’t guess. Maybe you will. Anyways, some of them are cute and others are really creepy.

If you have more than one cat, you might think about how to smartly organize your space by storing your pets. Even one animal at your house might need a nice and comfortable storage. Inside this post you can find many interesting ideas that might suit your personal needs.
After seeing these pictures, you’ll see what I mean
Animals can amaze with their abilities. I have seen a cat eating with a fork, but I never saw alpaca surfing on a board! When you look at these photos, you might also get a feeling that alpaca Pisco enjoys its unusual hobby. Surfer Domingo Pianezzi says that it was pretty easy to involve Pisco into sports.
