According to some estimates, more than 3.2 billion images and 720,000 hours of video are shared daily. That's a lot. Way more than our social media feeds can show us. So when faced with such an abundance of content, how do we decide what is worthwhile and what's not?
Well, if we allow the Facebook page 'Important Animal Images' to try and convince us, it's everything animals-related. And let me tell you, after you go through their archive, it's hard to disagree. They have a cat smiling through a soap bubble, a raccoon washing the floor with its belly, and all the other creatures that are simply impawsible to resist.
Continue scrolling to check out the best recent posts by 'Important Animal Images' and if your Monday is especially rough, fire up Bored Panda's earlier publications on the page here and here. They will definitely help to start the week right!

Dad looks pretty competent. Must have done it with the older child, on the left.
Yep. Weimies are children. Just live with it. But they are accepting of siblings.
Load More Replies...The person behind the page told Bored Panda it was their love for animals that inspired this fun online project. "I've been running a cat page for very long but wanted to post other animals as well," they said. "I will probably create some more animal pages in the future as well, but with different themes."
The founder of the page hasn't set any criteria for choosing the pictures, everything they post is pretty random.
However, they think that the community of 'Important Animal Images' is what separates the page from the rest. "I don't have words to describe [these] followers or family, whatever word you'd like to use, they are the ones who make this group special. I don't know how far this page will go but I'll try my best to work for the betterment of stray animals through it. I plan to start doing this very soon."
The cat and dog are probably just like “hooman is vet?”
Load More Replies...dog is defeated, cat is plotting revenge.... apart that.... sooooooo cute
She was an infant when the dog and the cat first met her. That's why they are so patient with her. Really nice to see.
Funny imagining you passing a pastry shop with a display window xD
Load More Replies...If you too want to begin photographing animals but don't know where to start, your first model can be your pet! UK dog photographer Rhian White told Bored Panda that her number one advice for every beginner is to stay patient. Both with yourself and your lack of knowledge and experience as well as with things that are out of your control, like other animals and people popping over to say hi during a shoot outside.
"I can't talk about other pets because my specialty is dogs but there are lots of challenges when it comes to photographing them, specifically in the outdoors, which is what I do," White said. "First of all, there's the weather. You might like a nice sunny day, but it might be, especially in the UK, really cloudy and windy."
"Another thing is location. You could go to a park or the beach, and there might be too many distractions for the dog, whether they like to play with other pups or they're just fearful of busy places, there's lots of noise, lots of things going on."
I wonder if they do this because of bad circulation. Skinny legs always be crampin'
I have thin legs & they always get cold (no "insulation").
Load More Replies...If it's the same as why my chickens do, then it's about conserving body heat. All the blood that has to pass up and down the exposed leg gets very cold, so it takes more energy to warm it back up once it's back in the main bulk of the torso, and also chilled blood is not very efficient for the internal organs.
Load More Replies...If anyone replies above this remark, they are a soulless demon.
Load More Replies...I wouldn't worry too much, they look well kept. Fur seems clean without mats & not a single rib is visible. And they're sleeping comfortably instead of harassing people for food. From the look of the background, I'd guess a foreign country that is better with their animal training than most Americans (from what I've seen doing animal rescue work for 30yrs).
Load More Replies...This just makes me terribly sad. Knowing that they are all probably homeless , just kin sucks . Why are dogs allowed to be homeless on the streets in any part of this world. I hate nothing more
I mean, the US has homeless veterans because, despite an $800 billion annual defense budget, the DoD can’t seem to scrape together 2-3 billion bucks to provide housing and health care to the very people it literally used and destroyed. I love animals too, but we should really worry about homeless humans first.
Load More Replies...They all look clean and healthy, so I wouldn't think so.
Load More Replies...White has also had plenty of shoots where her subjects weren't really interested in posing. "When a dog isn't motivated, it becomes very difficult to get them engaged," she explained. If you end up in a similar situation, the photographer suggests taking out a ball or a toy, maybe even some food, and try to get the pup to cooperate using rewards. You can also ask other people (or even dogs!) for some extra help.
Remember, you just have to learn what that particular model likes the most and go with it.
"I don't want to marry you, Dave, but I'll gladly accept the kitten"
Believe me, I would marry anyone who propose to me a cute animals or food.

Load More Replies...I tried blowing bubbles just to have fun playing with the cats they were all scared shitless!
My dogs loved them! So I bought flavoured ones specially for pets and... they hated them. Nope, had to be made of soap.
Load More Replies...If you've ever tried it it is really exhausting - as you can see!
Load More Replies...That being said, there are limits. "Some dogs can be a bit nervous of, like I said, busy places, or even me, you know, a stranger. So I have to really play it by ear and go with the flow in terms of what that dog is happy with," Rhian White said. "Every shoot that I do is tailored to that dog and what they're comfortable with. Never get a dog to do what they don't want to do."
Good morning, I'm Officer Gooseneck and this is Officer Hardass, do you know why we pulled you over sir?
I've read about them being used as guard animals since they'll go after anything they think shouldn't be on their patch. The ancient Romans did this. Never heard of one being used as patrol, though.

I think you mean 🎼🎶One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong🎵🎶
Load More Replies...Rhian said it's hard enough to photograph one pet, but sometimes you want to get a few of them in the same frame. "The more dogs that you add into the mix, the more challenging it becomes. One time, I photographed seven dogs in one go. And that's very, very difficult, especially to get an action shot of them running together. I mean, it's nearly impossible." Again, patience!

"I think the best thing for people to do is just go out and practice, even if you get nothing, just keep going."
However, you should always remember that the animal comes first, and pictures second. "That way, you'll get a happy dog in the pictures," Rhian White said.
"I've noticed some people are not patient with themselves and they're not really very patient with the dogs either. They get very frustrated ... A lot of people say 'My dog won't pose for a picture.' Or 'It won't look at the camera.' Well, to that, my first question is this: when you try to take a picture of them, how long do you take to do it? If the answer is a couple of minutes, that's a couple of minutes too long! You need to take a couple of seconds and then give the animal a really big reward. Whatever it is that they want, just give it to them! Then they'll learn that you taking pictures of them is actually a really fun thing to do."
The look on that cat's face took me back a couple dozen years to when I was waiting tables at the airport restaurant (now gone in favor of a giant Cinnabon and god knows what else). A man came in every weekend just after we opened at 5 a.m. and ordered coffee. Just coffee. He always left a nickel tip. He was old enough to have amassed a field of wrinkles and liver spots, and he only ever said five words to anybody who waited on him: "Coffee please, keep the nickel change." We all referred to him as Mr. Nickel.
Probably why the owner(s) got furniture for him to climb and exercise.
Load More Replies...Well, he's asleep, maybe he thinks he's holding the woman, lol!
Load More Replies...A unicorn you say, I hope he had purple sparkles and rides off into the sunset with little me!
" So, remember yesterday when you were doing my nails and I told you I really liked him. Well he called.
Once had a dog that thought it could chase waves, he ended up like that too.
My dogs likes chasing waves but it's ME that ends up like that! He pulls me in!
Load More Replies...Got a cat that does this when he wants to eat - if ignored he slaps me on the ear!
That is a true pet lover right there. He'd be uncomfortable so his cat is comfortable. Before I got married, I used to sleep in a twon bed with my 80# Staffie. He liked to move all around during the night. If he took up too much bed during the night, I'd get up and sleep on the floor.
Is this a rescue situation or is every one just doing their own thing?

You know it's 2021 when the hamsters have formed a cult and you're not even surprised.
A group of maritacas crowds the façade of a building in São Paulo, According to residents, this has been going on for 25 years. The bird is the Periquitão Maracanã (Psittacara leucophthalmus) and on the façade of this building she finds clay, which is part of its natural diet. Studies indicate that consumption of clay helps in reducing the toxicity of some of the compounds of plants that the bird ingests, in addition to providing nutrients such as mineral salts. Outside the city, they usually find this food in ravines.
Thank you. I saw this happening in India and guessed it was lime that they were after.

My dog used to love getting fed a treat like this. She was very gentle with the fork, always good manners.
I fed all my doggie fur babies with a fork! Their food and people food! Everyone thought I was crazy!
Load More Replies...Cute maybe but very unhealthy for the dog. Not trying to be a downer here, just find it very sad when dogs become over weight because they are fed people food.
...bc they're fed the WRONG KIND of people food. Properly prepared people-grade food in appropriate amounts is far better than the same things (but pet grade, with fillers) after the Extrusion Process which basically cooks the real nutrients out of the food so they need to "supplement" it a lot. But anything for a buck, especially when people are willing to spend sooo much on someone they love...esp. if you can convince them it's better and easier. Companies spend 💰 🤑 💸 on experts who figure out how to get us to give them as much of our income as possible, as often as possible (single use, break&replace, "the replacement battery costs more than the whole tool", etc.).

If this would be the scene I encountered after a long day at work, I would either start talking to them, eventually befriend them and name them (already have some favourites), or quietly closed the front door and look for the door leading back to my dimension.

Load More Replies...Our vets stopped giving them out as apparently they cause too much distress to the animal, and it’s only needed if they do lick at their stitches too much, but best to give them benefit of the doubt first!
Desensitizing them to wear clothes is a less stressful alternative. They also make a blow-up version, like a neck pillow.
Load More Replies...LMAO that is a different cat. Imagine stuffing a cat's balls into a skin-tight pouch. There would be blood!
Load More Replies...Googly eyes. Should make everything better, but... I have mixed feelings about this one! xD
It's weird to me to see a cat with balls, never seen it in real life here in Sweden, it's so common to castrate 😅
That's not a common cat. Uncastrated cats usually have fur to obscure them.
Load More Replies...My cat i had growing up would growl hiss and spit if you tried to take this away from him He'd grab it off the plate run into a corner growling if anyone followed him & he would bite and suck on it for hours. (Learned the hard way not to mess with his corn cob)
I always tossed corn cobs on a tray on the floor to watch my cats devour the remaining kernels.

All fun and games until the hound swallows the dummy and surgery is required. Do not put your pets through this for the sake of a few likes on Instagram.
Given the size of that pacifier compared to the dog, it would take a lot of trying for the puppy to swallow it. Their mouths just aren’t that big. But I agree, any larger than that and it’s not really safe.
Load More Replies...My cat got yellow once due to some pill she had to swallow. The struggle to make her swallow it led to huge amounts of drool... which was colored yellow by the pill itself. This yellow stuff couldn't be washed away, so the fur had to naturally replace itself (shed), in order for the yellow to eventually fade away.
