You know the internet has an infinite amount of entertainment lined up for you to enjoy when 5.7 million people follow an Instagram account, the identity of which revolves around one of the most basic concepts out there defined in three words: animals doing things.
That’s the whole meaning of life, isn’t it? Just doing things. Well, you can check out how many things can actually be done by animals in the list we just curated for you below.

Ok, why do I have so many downvotes? Genuine question, I didn’t do or say anything wrong, did I?

Load More Replies...My macaw fell in the shower and fortunately slid down the back of the tub when he was a baby. I totally freaked out and was all "omg baby are you OK??!" I cut myself shaving a few days later and was like "OUCH!" And he said "Are you OK?"
Awwwww lovely pet you have , you are lucky :)
Load More Replies...Like other pets, parrots can read your emotions. My husband was down the hall having computer problems, and he yelled out, "S%hit!" My lovely Gracie replied, "F!U#ck!"
Right after we moved here I looked out the back window and saw two fawns dancing around with two fox kits. It was like watching a Disney movie.
Load More Replies...I had two fawns visit my garden last spring and later I'd see them napping under my rhubarbs over the hottest hours. Beautiful twins with fur of a golden shine. I'd just look at them sleep and feel like a Disney Princess and they looked like a miracle. Donated my berries to them gladly this year, but raised my fence for next season.
Just remember they can shoot you with a "fart" ( I know isn't a fart ) ;)
Load More Replies...Everyone knows a bear is just a big dog.. you can pet them and roll around with them and let them hug you.. Bears are just big dogs, do not be afraid to pet them. Just let them sniff your hand first to let them know "you're OK".
Bears are so funny. They are the opposite of ripped and sleek but are fast and strong. Like if your old couch pillows grew fangs and could outrun a horse
He just needs to move his right rear leg forward a little and perfect!
Animals Doing Things is an Instagram page that jokingly boasts being “rated the #1 Instagram page by every single animal.”
The page was created back in May of 2017 and has since then managed to deliver nearly 5,500 posts and amass a following of 5.7 million people.

They must be the best birb keepers, it's really hard to get them to breed and actually hatch little chickies. They only do it if they feel truly safe
I’m fairly confident that the male is a Fischer’s Lovebird, but is the female one as well? I know some different lovebird species CAN interbreed, but haven’t seen the female’s color morph before in a Fischer’s.
Load More Replies...I've seen this before and every time it kills me with the adorableness.
So, what are those animals doing that’s so dang deserving of great attention?
Well, they’re scaring kids for fun, digging in trash, stealing bird feed, chilling, playing music, forming unlikely friendships, sitting on people, doing community service, and stressing the heck out.
I knew Maxi had settled in when he didn't drag his cuddly sausage toy to his bed to sleep with. We still have it though it's been 5 years on Thursday since he crossed the rainbow bridge
When I first got my puppy at 8 weeks, we got her a long yellow duck dog toy. She slept with it sometimes then. Ten years later, she still has her duck that she still sometimes sleeps with. I have donated many dog clothes, blankets, beds and toys over the years to animal shelters or friends who got a new puppy, but the duck is family, she has to stay with her buddy.
I still sleep with a raggedy Anne blanket every night I was given as a baby and now I'm worried about it's potential to go full Annabelle considering the OG Annabelle was allegedly a possessed raggedy Anne doll
Load More Replies...Same, Breeze. Kinda. I'm 60 and still have my Teddy Bear given to me when I was brought home from hospital as a newborn. I don't sleep with it; it's in a glass display case in my music studio in case it goes full tilt Annabelle on me...
Ok that's adorable. But can't be real. At least it's not the same bear. That thing would be covered in poop and hay and shavings. Not to mention horse hair and drool.
Horses don't go to the bathroom on their offspring. Sure, when they're in the barn they go in their stall, but who wants to lie in that? As far as the rest, a good washing machine goes a long way. The bear may have been/need to be replaced at some point, but it's not impossible for this to be real.

They tell me to get my ducks in a row, however my ducks appear to be in the back of a police cruiser.
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.
this was in the shetland islands if you wanted to see them. my aunts friend knitted the red cardigan

Load More Replies...I don’t see an elephant, either. Can someone point out the little one, please? 😁
I think it's the little shadow in the darkness, on the right. Not sure tho
Load More Replies...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.
It's not white , you can be relaxed. You don't need the antiochia hand grenade

Yes, BP is eternal and infinite. It reaches the farthest corners of social media just to return to the source
Load More Replies...Actually, the snarls often have to be cgi'd in as well. There is a very good special on youtube about the making of the Sorcerer's Apprentice. They used actual wolves for the scene, and someone had to put tracking dots on their faces so they could make them look mean in post. What's more, for about 30 bucks, you can meet some those wolves at Howling Woods Farm in New Jersey. Check out their website for more information.
I want my CGI tail... and I do not need judgement! *wags a coffee cup off the table**
Narnia, the lion the witch and the wardrobe had to do this if my memory serves me correctly
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.
How cute ( one fact, I know I m pedantic sorry but bigotón must be like big mustache , I don't know the word in English sorry. May be moustachon?)
They are very cute. It's a schnauzer - a dog breed type that originated in Germany from the 14th to 16th centuries. The term comes from the German word for "snout" and means colloquially "moustache", or "whiskered snout", because of the dog's distinctively bearded snout.
Load More Replies...When I see that breed I always think about a british retired colonel. Edited to change word
Dogs don’t have “races”. “Race” is a social term. The proper term for a dog would be “breed”.

Load More Replies...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).

Load More Replies...Back on the ranch when I was a kid, once in a while a cow would give birth in the dead of winter. Winter in those mountains can be around -20F. Dad would load the calf into the feed truck drive it back to the ranch house and my parents would go at it with hairdryers to try to save it's life. I was pretty young but I remember calves in the kitchen.
-29°C for the rest of the world, just so you folks don't have to google it

I grew up watching Sir David (my parents bought me The Trials of Life on VHS when I was still a single-digit, and I watched every single tape until they wore out) and I am so appreciative of his work. He is a class act and a treasure. I’ve loved animals from birth, but I credit Sir David for my wider knowledge of them :)
Load More Replies...thank u God and mother nature! u guys have given us an underwater floof!
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.
I love that tiny dudes so adorable and totally not vicious . Stop killing them if they enter your home, only provide a way out . They are harmless and never will attack you and never will to get stick in your hair . So left the bats , please
Seems like it would feel weird to drink with your nose, but I guess they're used to it.
It doesn't feel weird when your nose is that long and can hold over a gallon of water.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
They are SO adorable. I made an alien creature look like them in a book because they're so cute.
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.
Now everyone knows Canada's secret of how well protected we, Canadians, are.
Oh my God! A fire-breathing polar bagon! I didn't think those things actually existed!
These fire breathing polar bears are the bane of Igloo-dwelling Eskimos.
corgis are working dogs, pugs are lapdogs. Little do they know he is leading them off to work, not fun pmsl
One of my cats was a big girl with long fur, so the snow and cold didn't faze her like it did the other cats. She'd "shovel" a path that all the other cats would use.
They were snowbound. The Corgi dug that rescue trench and led them to safety.
If you're cold, they're cold too. Let them inside. (Edit: wrong they're)
I'm surprised I'm still alive because my brain is urging me to boop that nose and boop it multiple times. 😂
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!
A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance and it's my favorite
Load More Replies...A group of platypus (platypi?) is called a paddle. A group of hippopotami is a bloat, which is a bit unfair, they're meant to be large and chunky.
My favorites are "galaxy" of Starfish or a "sum" of Adders (a snake)
Who came up with these animal group names and is it too late to join them?
It’s actually more likely a “golden” tiger or “golden tabby” tiger. Ligons have fainter stripes and their stripes generally do not extend into the pale underbits like they do on a tiger. Structurally, as well, this chonk’s face, nose, and body are all tiger.
Load More Replies...The wild tiger in me just ate a bunch of food and wants to take a nap.
Unlikely. It’s actually more likely a “golden” tiger or “golden tabby” tiger. Tigons have fainter stripes and their stripes generally do not extend into the pale underbits like they do on a tiger. Tigons will almost always have “broken” stripes or spots on their bodies/faces. Structurally, as well, this chonk’s face, nose, and body are all tiger.

One of my 12 year olds likes to lick my cheeks with her sandpaper tongue. She's also discover batting my eyelids with her claws ever-so-slightly out for attention!!
Load More Replies...Sure...wait until they wake you up at 5 am by walking all over you, purring in your ear and then breathing fishy cat breath in your face!
So, when you’re done eating hot dogs on that one guy’s porch, why not share your thoughts and stories about anything that you’ve seen or read here today.
Or if you want even more usual stuff from animals, why not continue your virtual journey through Bored Panda.
Unfortunately the black cat was photoshopped.. his name was Frank after the punisher but that's it. Snopes shows a pic of the cat before the editing. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cat-marvel-punisher/
Such a shame people feel the urge of photoshopping, as if nature in itself isn't sufficient
My most favorite memories, of all my long and strange life, were the rare moments I had someone who loved me, and laying in bed together like this.

More like " Idiotic driver breaking the speed limit is randomly protected from a ticket by a bird that just happens to be passing by the camera."
Or, I mean, people could stick to the speed limits? They're there for a reason. 20mph: a child hit by a vehicle has a 90 per cent chance of survival. 30mph: a child hit by a vehicle has a 50 per cent chance of survival. 40mph: a child hit by a vehicle has a 10 per cent chance of survival.
It's an electronic ticket picture. Instead of having cops patrol speeders on some stretches of highway, they instead have sensors and take pictures of license plates and send the offender a ticket in the mail. The bird is covering the plate, but now I'm wondering who uploaded the picture? Did it still make it to the speeder somehow? Maybe a back license plate? 🤔
Load More Replies...I must admit - I do not understand how this bird saved the driver of the car $300.
The license plate is obscured. The camera can't tell who the driver of the car is, so there's no fine!

I was in hospital for a while earlier this year, and there was a therapy dog. You could request a visit from him (well, from his human but I'm sure the dog had to agree to visit as well)-there was a very elderly lady in the same bay as me for a couple of weeks, and she had no family to visit her, only volunteer hospital visitors, so the nurses arranged for the dog to visit every day and they encouraged her to start walking around more by taking the dog for a wander down the corridor. I'm sure people get better quicker when there are furry friends about.

This happened to a friend of a friend. Their house was broken into. They owned two big dogs and a parrot. Coming across the dogs the burglars decided discretion was the better part of valour. A uniformed policeman came to take a statement from the man of the house. The policeman sat in a chair opposite a sofa where the homeowner sat. The parrot, having had a traumatic experience, had been allowed to wander around the house. He jumped on to the back of the sofa, hopped along until he was opposite the police officer and said “ You’ll never take me alive copper.”
This isn't very funny. Hope you had the fire department come get him out if you didn't have built in steps. He was probably spooked, and not doing this intentionally.

I'd like to think the hippo thought, 'It's a child, it doesn't pose a threat to my herd'
