Walking Bearfoot On The Beach
Left, right, left, right...the bears go marching on to winter hibernation.
Pretty sure the first foot was photoshopped to make this look like a 'perfect timing' shot. There's no heel, the lines are hard and not blended with the fur, and you can see the foot down on the ground underneath the 'toes'.
Or maybe the visual that you're referring to is the front foot on the ground..?

Load More Replies...To find out more about where the human/animal bond stands in our hectic world, we reached out to Dr. Ivan Zak, the CEO at Galaxy Vets. When asked if we've grown distant from animals and the natural world, Ivan fortunately assured us that the connection between humans and animals “is only getting tighter as more and more pet owners strongly identify themselves with their pets.”
“Humanization of companion animals is a growing trend, as a recent survey revealed that 87 percent of pet parents say their pets are a core part of their overall happiness and well-being,” he explained.
A Fawn Resting On A Field Of Flowers

That fawn is actually hiding. It has been left their by it mother and will keep really low and not move. That way it is less likely to be predated than if it was trailing around with mum.

Load More Replies...Dr. Ivan also stressed that having empathy towards all the critters on earth is something essential to our core of being humans. “Being kind to all creatures, great or small, is an essential element of compassion and humility,” he said and added that “It’s important to teach children to respect and care about animals so that they grow into more empathetic individuals and live more fulfilling lives.”
I've Never Seen A Mouse That Looks So Much Like A Mouse Before
He was practicing for his Disney audition. The lady with the car key and birb will accompany him.
Fox Sleeping On Skylight
It's wonderful seeing the underside of a fox paw. They have very thick hair on their feet which is why you don't hear them when they are walking. I had a fox who would follow me around where I lived. Literally right behind me or next to me and you wouldn't hear them. Absolutely silent.
I would be in Heaven if it was my house and I saw that! I’d want to crawl up to the roof and put out food and a little house for dear Redd Foxx (if they’re a boy) or Foxxy Cleopatra (if they’re a girl).

Moreover, “research shows that animals are also capable of compassion; they can display empathy in many different ways such as comforting and responding to humans crying,” Dr. Ivan said. He added that when humans are going through a physical or emotional struggle, they can empathize with their furry friends and even mourn.

Hedgehog With Plushie
I love hedgehogs. They’re awesome. Our dog was always confused by them though. It has pointy ends and it doesn’t run away. It just rolled up in a ball which confused him even more.
Yeah that's photoshopped. And rather poorly for that matter. The hedgehog is cute as it is
On the other hand, owning a pet requires great responsibility and it’s one thing to look at cute pictures of animals and fall in love with them, and a whole other when you really have to take care of them in joy and in misery. “Owning a pet is like having children. Anybody who gets a pet without researching what it takes to look after one is in the same boat as people who have kids because they are cute. This is why I’m such a strong advocate for wellness plans and pet insurance,” Dr. Ivan concluded.

I Hear You Were Looking For The Cutest Photo On The Internet?
It's a platypus. I NEVER hear anything about hem. If I hadn't heard o them early in life as a real animal, I would think they were fictional. I have never heard them mentioned even in a book, much less in a childrens book..where, as we know, children see any more features o animals than humans.
Load More Replies...I would love to see a gallery of cute animals without this plushie... it's been around forever, and gets reposted in animal galleries far too often.
A lot of things about "unusual animals" have pictures of poseable dolls, even ones that are very clearly fictional (I've seen the gryfaun doll making rounds, and other obviously fantastical creatures). I still remember my art teacher several years ago showing me a fennec fox doll and asking "Wouldn't this be so cute to have as a pet?", and I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a doll.
Load More Replies...Why is everyone saying it is fake? What caused them to write this? I just want to know!
Because this plush is sold online. Also, real ones don’t have furry tails.

That's a baby platypus. And it's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. That's it. I can die happy.
But it’s a fake one. It’s a plush toy sold online. Real ones don’t have furry tails like that. It’s just a super cute toy.

So cute, makes my heart sing, I always thought, a little lamb, is sweet, but I now am thinking, gosh the baby goats, called kids I think, they have stolen my heart, they are so funny, and just goofy, they jump like crazy !!!
So freaking awesome! Something about it reminds me of a baby burro also.
I remember the excitement when our nanny had kids. Such fun animals to play with.
Not The Usual Animals You See Here But. I Love Those
You guys are terrific - got one of you boys I feed every night - but you're still afraid of me!
It's good that they are afraid. Otherwise, they will approach other humans who are not as nice as you are and will harm them. Thanks for being nice to them.
Load More Replies...They are immune to rabies and eat loads of ticks and pests. Good guys in other words.
Actually possums ARE very lovable. I had a friend who owned one from the time it was only a few weeks old. Dawdles loved to sit at a small table and eat her breakfast and then sit on the dashboard of my friend's big truck and keep her company as she drove for hours on end. When they open their mouths and show you all their teeth it's a scare tactic....
They have terrifying looking teeth, but their confrontation tactic is mostly to play dead :D. A wild hamster would take on a human, but not these guys.

Very misunderstood. Not a cleaning crew but more often than not the real predator. They kill around 3/4 of the animals they eat (zebra, buffalo, etc.). Other predators like lions tend to chase them and steal their prey once the work is done, and the hyenas come back later to eat the scraps. In fact, hyenas kill more preys than lions.

Hate to disagree, but this little cutie is very much alive and having fun. This is how they play when they are bonded to their human. My parrot (4 y.o. Senegal) lays on his back, eyes closed, waiting for me to give him kisses and cuddles.

Can confirm this is how rabbits work. My rabbit is a Netherland dwarf (super tiny, much fluff) and once, he got super dirty so I had to give him a bath and his actual body was like 1/3 of the size he looks when he’s dry and fluffy. (And don’t worry, he’s not underweight. He’s perfectly healthy and he always has food. Plus he gets treats all the time. Tbh I’m surprised he isn’t overweight)

Mama bear better stockup on the Pepto Bismol as somebody's gonna have a nasty stomach ache later from too many apples.
Maybe bears don't get stomach trouble from eating lots of apples even though we do. They are made to be able to eat a lot prior to hibernation.

Baby Fawn Curled Up Next To Fake Deer
The true story behind this picture isn't that bad > the mother came back some time later to collect the fawn.
The mothers regularly leave the fawns behind for some time, but they will return. The worst you can do is pick an 'abandoned' fawn and thus removing a perfectly fine fawn from a distressed mother. If in doubt you can monitor the situation for a few hours from a distance or call the authorities in charge for advice.
Load More Replies...Deer aren't actually stupid. They're only fooled by inanimate objects for a couple of minutes. That's why the "3D Buck" sculptures only keep deer from munching on your garden for a day. As far as this fawn is concerned, they're hunkered down next to a log and not an archery target.
