All jokes and memes aside, what animals do all day is a bit of a surreal thing to think about.

In reality, wild animals pretty much walk around all day, scouting for food and taking the occasional rest in-between foraging sessions, all the while making sure they themselves don’t become food for someone else.

I watched a sugar cane harvest and the trucks the move it. They would stop along the way to let the elephants eat their fill. If they didn't, the elephants would roll the truck over and start stomping. Best to just let them take their tithe

My 15 pound cat used to hide her face behind shoes. I never figured out where she went.

Get a load of the growth on that giant sugar cane. Almost looks like an elephant.

Why is this one rated so high? There is nothing in the picture other than a field of some plant and a phone pole.

I was told once that because elephants eyes are right in the front of their head they don't have great peripheral vision so they have no idea how big they are. I've seen elephants "hiding" behind trees, its' hilarous!

Okay, first - where's the baby elephant? Disappointing! Second, how freaking adorable is it that the elephant knew it'd done wrong and was trying to avoid being yelled at for eating sugar past its bed time? 💗💗💗

And when they’re not on a food walk, they’re probably sleeping, procreating, pooping or caring for their young’uns. In other words, they’re always up to something.

So, you can imagine just how much you’re taking away from an animal when you adopt them as a pet. In essence, it takes away the foraging aspect and the fear of being foraged.

So, instead, they substitute that time with the perks of a different life, i.e. getting all those pets, playing games with you or anyone else in the house, and occasionally destroying furniture.

If you want more specific results, strap a GoPro on a cat and let it run wild outside. A few hours if not days later, review the footage.

Don't let other landlords pull the wool over your eyes, renting from her isn't a baaaad decision! (I should probably be at least a bit sheepish about the atrocity of these puns...)

As for dogs, researchers in India took to the streets to observe strays. They observed dogs when they were typically active during the day, save for midday as it was the hottest time and dogs tend to hide from the heat.

And, so, the most popular activity among stray dogs was [drum roll] inactivity, i.e. sleep, lazing and sitting around (53% of instances).

Love the name. Now someone else feels blind because they can't find their keys. 😺

16% of the dogs observed were just walking around, either in groups or individually.

Less than 6% of the time was spent on what the researchers called “maintenance” activities. This included grooming, scratching, drinking, garbage sniffing, pooping, and the like.

Only around 10% of instances included dogs interacting with other animals (dogs, cats, as well as humans and even calves). Even though the context was that most people think of stray dogs as aggressive, none of the 32 interactions were observed to be aggressive. They were actually of a positive nature with the dogs wagging their tails and begging for food.

If you're cold, they're cold too. Let them inside. (Edit: wrong they're)

This is your standard run-of-the-mill day in the life of an animal. Mileage may vary, of course, because human involvement in various facets of animal life has become commonplace. Like raccoons who have a daily get-together on this guy’s porch to have a wholesome feast of hot dog sausages. But, besides this, the tl;dr is that animals eat, sleep, mate, and repeat.

Checked and this is true - do animal group names get any better than this? I think not!
