2022 is about to come to a close, and we feel the need to say thank you to the one thing that was consistently absolutely awesome this year: animals. Just that. All we needed to see to get a boost of good vibes, a dose of inspiration, something to uplift our mood, was a bunch of awesome animal photos. And there have been so many this year. It seems that people really needed the distraction - and the reminder that there are some things in this world that will forever and always be amazing.
Today, right before the year ends, we've put together the best, most iconic and breathtaking animal pictures of the year. These are the kind of animal pictures that are worth 1000 words, that cannot be captured easily. We promise you that, as you scroll, you will find yourself pausing, doing double takes, thinking about what you're seeing. Enjoy, friends, and have an amazing new year!
Somehow, this photo is both incredibly beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Had we walked past this pond, chances are that we wouldn't have even realized that these are gators. We would have stopped to admire the beauty of the moment. But it's exactly the inherent danger in the tranquility of this photo that makes it so dang eerie - and amazing.
No wonder that so many mythologies in the world believe - or used to - that the world was on the back of a turtle's back. When we look at this creature, that's all we can see. This animal is carrying a small habitat on its back. We're sure that there are tiny animals living on it right there in this picture, and personally, we think that's totally awesome.
