Animal Memes For Kids and Adults Alike

It is wild that nearly every kid I knew wanted to be an animal scientist or a marine biologist when they grew up. I guess it makes sense since animals are one of the four interests children consistently have across generations: animals, books, sports, and pink. If you meet a kid that doesn't possess at least one of these interests, you have just met an individual in the 99th percentile of uniqueness.

Kids and adults love animals, and I don't blame them. Animals love you unconditionally unless they're the kinds of animals who hate you unconditionally. Either way, there are no conditions required. Animals are real; they'll tell you that they love you without words. Animals have to express themselves with their bodies and facial expressions because no animal is capable of language in the complex way that humans are (sorry parrots). Because of this reality, animals make the perfect subjects of memes, saying more with no words than many humans can.
