Just like every year, 2024 was an amazing one for animal meme lovers. The star of the show was, of course, Moo Deng, the pygmy hippo, who, with her dewy skin and chaotic spirit, won over the hearts of netizens. We also can’t forget Pesto the Penguin, who achieved viral stardom for being a chocolatey, chunky chick, and Hvaldimir, the beluga whale, who gained fame for (allegedly) being a Russian spy. Other memorable mentions include Peanut the Squirrel and Ava, the golden tiger—both adorable in their own right. 

2024 was a truly fruitful year for animal memes so we’re manifesting for another one with a fresh batch of them, courtesy of the Instagram account “Openly Gay Animals.” Scroll down to find the best the page has to offer and make sure to upvote those memes that deserve a spot on this list.

While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with world-renowned board-certified veterinary surgeon and CEO of Dr. Fossum's Pet Care, Dr. Theresa Fossum, and world-renowned integrative veterinarian and founder of Chagrin Falls Pet Clinic, Dr. Carol Osborne, who kindly agreed to tell us how we can keep our pets healthy and safe in cold weather.

    The grass is not as green for him as it is to other horses. He feels its soul stepping on it, and is at the same time sad about it.

    Flamboyant Murder Foghorn. All birds are evil, but peafowl are among the most evil. Except penguins, which are awesome, and owls, which are flying cats and therefore evil and awesome.

    This is true. When our female cocker spaniel was spayed, the vet anesthetized her, performed the procedure, then removed her to a recuperating bay to wait for her to wake up. (This was back before reversibles.) About ten minutes before she was due to wake up, her tail started wagging and we knew she was telling us that everything was OK.
