I got bitten on the bum once by a white-tail. A week later, the wound was the size of a tennis ball and I couldn’t sit down. Pity I was on a road trip across the country (I.e. 12 days driving). But thank goddess it was on my bum, if it was on a less fleshy part it can lead to amputation.
Striped-sock Spider can't hurt you. Striped-sock Spider isn't real.
Hard enough to stay off my cat's tail when she is 'supervising' me in the kitchen.
I relate! I often tell one of my cats that tripping me up same trying to break my neck means they will be fed slower!

OK, but NZ does NOT have kangaroos, wallabies, or pademelons, which are all very cute. But it DOES have hobbits and orcs etc because that was where The Lord of the Rings was filmed.
Load More Replies...OMG Heebie Jeebies. Got a nice Huntsman bite the other day. Man that f****r bruised me.
At least they are not poisonous, bu they sure LOOK lethal!
Load More Replies...Doggy can’t move because the fawn is on his lap. Like a human when a cat decides to lay on their lap. You. Just. Do. NOT. Move.
My dog did a similar thing. We were in a dog-friendly cafe with our husky/malamute cross. A tiny puppy (plus associate humans) sat at the next table. When we had finished lunch we tried to leave, but our dog would not move. Looking under the table we saw this tiny puppy curled up close, fast asleep, and using our dog's front leg as a pillow.
“Sorry, I can’t go to work today, I have a *checks notes* BAMBI ON MY LAP!” 💕
Animals are walking miracles. Case in point: my two horses are on a large property with a run-in barn where they can come & go at will. They're trained to come to me if I whistle for them. One dark cold rainy day, no response. I went looking for them, & found them guarding a new born calf with it's first time mother. The new mom had gotten separated from the herd & the baby was too new to travel. Cougars and coyotes roam that place & a new baby would have been easy pickings. The cattle did not belong to me but I carried food & water out to all for 3 days & nights. My 2 geldings would not budge from their sides until Mom & baby were strong enough to rejoin the herd & they knew all was well.
"Can we keep her? She can sleep in my bed, I'll walk her every day and share my kibble, promise!"
Or a whale with a giant tooth sticking out of it's face that looks like a horn!
The amount of people that make it to adulthood without learning Narwhals are real are surprisingly high. I love watching the moment of realization.
Load More Replies...Describe a rhinoceros. "Like a large horse. Single horn on its forehead. Sometimes white." Don't worry, I've got it now, I'll send you the painting.
Point taken except that rhino horns are on their nose instead of forehead.
Load More Replies...I remember reading that some white settlers, on hearing stories about the "cameleopard" didn't believe a word with it. A camel with leopard spots and an insanely long neck? Nonsense! Nothing but ignorant local folklore!
In Afrikaans a giraffe is a "kameelperd" which translates to "camel horse"!!
Load More Replies...Shh… don’t tell anyone that giraffes were banished from the Demon Realm
I wish I could upvote this more, The Owl House is my favourite show!
Load More Replies...If looking at animal pictures is not enough to soothe your soul, maybe you should consider getting a pet. Studies show that pets can increase dopamine and serotonin levels in our bodies. Furthermore, when dogs and humans interact, both of them get a boost of the feel-good hormone oxytocin.
So far, there’s also minimal but increasing evidence that pets can benefit our physical health, too. Simply stroking a pet or watching fish swim in an aquarium, can help us relax and lower our heart rate and blood pressure. Animal presence seems to be so effective that pet owners are less prone to heart attacks and more likely to survive one if it happens.
That just looks like two knuckleheads running around, having a good time, to me🥰😂 "You're it, no you're it, no you're it, Fred I swear to God if you give me one more wet Willie I'm going to kill you"
Despite their size, rhinos are super skittish. They also don't have great vision, do they may just run because of the noise.
I mean humans run from spiders that are tiny....doesn't seem too odd for the rhino to go "omg wtf is that?!"
Load More Replies...Anyone who is owned by a dachshund knows that they are absolutely fearless and the picture does not surprise me at all...
totally random. I fling love ur profile pick 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Load More Replies...I'll never get tired of seeing this meme ❤
Load More Replies...Yeah, that's my granny in the photo. She's sweet, makes a mean cricket casserole.
But Chocolate gecko, that’s my granny…
Load More Replies...My cat was arrested once. He wouldn't stop sitting in front of the neighbor's fridge. (small town)
In addition to health factors, pets can also help when it comes to socializing. Research suggests that having an animal companion can lead to more social interactions. This is especially notable when it comes to dog owners. Pets help their humans bond in a way that creates friendships that go beyond superficial hellos at a dog park and offer tangible support.
The list of advantages seems to extend even further as these findings make the researchers believe that pets are beneficial to communities. People connecting over their shared love for their four-legged friends might help create healthier neighborhoods.
I *knew* someone was going to say something about Moon Moon!
Load More Replies..."Oh, I can't right now...I've got to (now get this guys!) WALK MY DOG!"
That cat about to meet Rambo pigeon. You see he about to open a can of whoop a*s
cats need to be indoors. They are an invasive species and kill millions of birds annually
WE COME IN PEACE! NO, I WANT TO EAT YOU! YOU FCKING PIDGEONS COMING AND RUINING MY LIFE BY PECKING MY BUTT WHILST IM DOING A POOP IN THE SANDCASTLE! NO, I DONT CARE IF ITS NOT ALLOWED I NEEDED TO POOP STUPID PIGEONS
This is the pigeon version of Braveheart where they show their a*s to the English
Oh yeah, those little penguins rocked, so adorable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAEu8DPq2-Y
Load More Replies...I think this was at the height of Covid with lockdowns and business closures, using their time very wisely
Now I need more pictures of animals being introduced to each other lol
Here is my favorite of all time: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elephant-sea-lion-meet-photo_n_1789585
Load More Replies...I am also assuming I'm not the only person out there who bought a number of memberships to zoos I'll never see to help them stay afloat.
You were not alone, I did that too! I also put an advertisement in a newspaper of a town very far from my hometown (Italian here) to donate the tickets I had bought. Gave them to a family who sent me on wa the photos of their trip. We really felt we'd become better people all over the world...
Load More Replies...I know. I love it when they post about "field trips." I love that a number of zoos are continuing this.
However, you don’t need to own a pet to enjoy the benefits of animal interaction. Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) can be a viable option for people who cannot afford a pet in terms of time, room, and energy. This type of pet visitation is not limited to cats and dogs either, with horses, llamas, and rabbits being some of the other fun options.
There will come a time when rolls get reversed. I've reached the age where my mom has had to say "I'm sorry I can't come out, but your daughter told my daughter that you need cataract surgery and you shouldn't be driving."
Load More Replies...Again, the outcomes of AAA seem to be quite positive. Various hospitalized psychiatric patients show reduced fear and anxiety as well as more pro-social behaviors after participating in AAA. In particular, schizophrenic patients that engage in animal assisted activities show improvements in social functioning. Older patients that suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s also show notable improvements in their behavior.
I THINK they are laying flat, but only because you can see the tip of his tail in the picture on the right. Typically if some ahole clips the ears, they also clip the tail....
Load More Replies...Some people suck. Edit: I hope it's not a spike collar, but if it is, those poor sweet dogs.
Load More Replies...Read an article once that said human shoes were dirtier than a dogs foot...when's the last time you licked the bottom of your shoe?
Are you kidding? I have no problem with touching my "dirty animal" if he has no problem with me. It works both ways, ya know?
While research in the field is still minimal and lacking this doesn’t mean that helping individuals heal through animals is a completely new idea, people have noticed the positive impacts an animal’s presence has on a human as early as the late eighteenth century. And while empirical data doesn’t always support it, one cannot deny the feeling you get when a cat decides to sit in your lap.
It's okay, that didn't actually happen. The *true* story behind this photo is the otter brought out his favorite toy to show everyone - everyone cheered and cheered, then told him it was the best toy ever and bought him an ice cream. So it turned out to be a pretty great day.
Load More Replies...Unfortunately, due to watching a certain movie recently, I cannot look at an Otter without getting urge to cry
It's from Poland, and it isn't a real boar. It as a boar statue that was the mascot of Wieprz in Poland: https://gazetaolsztynska.pl/ilawa/674586,Dzik-z-Wieprza-plywa-po-Jezioraku.html
Load More Replies...Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze...
Load More Replies...Hakuna Matata (or for the miraculous fans akuma, hope you get the reverence)
If the raft had wheels and a string in the front, I would totally take that pull-toy everywhere! Family reunions, funerals, inaugural balls, political rallies, destination weddings, blind dates, Star Trek conventions... Everywhere!
Looks like me half an hour before I decide I should decide to get up and start my day.
To put it all in a less meandering way, animals are good for you. So, pet a dog when you have a chance, look at the birds outside, or go admire fishes in a pond. And feel free to bookmark and come back to this animal meme list whenever you need a breather.
The resting b***h face on the cat, along with the look of sheer regret on the dog who has been sent to stand in the corner as extra punishment.
Before coffee I hate everyone. After coffee I feel good about hating everyone.
Alpacas. They're smaller and have smaller muzzles. That's how to tell the difference.
Load More Replies..."He gave me this!" "He gave you that? For free?!?!" Best scene ever. Lol
I feel the same if when you read the word BOOK and don't say it in your head as BOOO-OOOK like a certain Sanderson sister we cannot be friends.
my family always tries to see who can do it best… i always win
Load More Replies...When I was a kid my cat would lay on my chest while I was asleep and claw the sh*t outta my face when I woke up. I hated that B.
My ex cat never did this, she was so gentle and sweet and would follow me down the road when I went on walks like a well trained dog. She’s my ex cat cuz she got eaten by coyotes
And that's one of the many reasons to keep cats indoors :(
Load More Replies...Looks like the Doctor Who tribe forgot their pens when fighting The Silence.
Why did the lion lose the poker game? He was playing a cheetah!!
A friend had that happen with WATERMELON. Not the juice - the FRUIT. Must've hurt like crazy! She never spoke to me again.
you're not supposed to. that's what he's trying to tell you.
My daughter just adopted one and named him Marble. I gave him the middle name Hedginald. He’s my grandhog. You all deserve to see a picture of him. IMG_7539-6...2-jpeg.jpg
Oh that’s one of my friends she just wants some mealworm salad
I thought so at first but thankfully no, just our ruined perspective :P
Load More Replies...Our museum has a koala donated in the early 1800's. The taxidermist had no idea what a koala looked like. The result is hilarious.
I was thinking these were the "man eating" lions from Tsavo, Kenya. But, I looked them up and they don't look like this. The movie "Ghost in the Darkness" with Val Kilmer & Michael Douglas was based on their attacks. They killed (and ate) 135 railway workers in a 9 month period in 1898. Fascinating read.
This was going to get a down vote. I thought you were going to be rude to the cow, but I agree, why is there a dolphin here?
Load More Replies...The best kind of friends have different interests to you. Then you can expand each other's horizons :)
The key to a good relationship is participating in one another's interests. Tomorrow this couple will be jumping over the moon.
I remember this photo from years ago, I still see an orca behind the dolphin
from left to right, across each row then down: muffin, chihuahua, muffin, chihuahua, chihuahua, muffin, chihuahua, muffin, muffin, chihuahua, muffin, chihuahua, chihuahua, muffins, chihuahuas, muffin.
This horse could make a fortune escorting women to their cars after dark.
I am certain the goose did that on purpose and is pleased with its beheading skills
When you party the night before and get stone drunk, this is what happens.
Look at me. Hey, you. Stop scrolling. Why on EARTH did early humans domesticate the wolf? And why not the BEAR? Imagine domestic bears! So much better!
The wolves helped with pest control, and hunting. Bears would need to eat far more meat to be tamed, leaving less for human settlements. So really, wolves were more convenient, and approached humans more frequently.
Load More Replies...I I love these kind of memes. I even enjoy the ones I've seen before. Thank you for putting together threads like this.
