Monday morning is here! And yes, we're all mildly upset that the weekend ended so quickly, but we are ready to kick this day off on the paw in the best way possible by bringing you a collection of awesome animal pictures. These are the kind of photos that will remind you just how amazing nature is. They'll inspire you, they'll make this Monday morning easier for you, and hopefully, they'll give you the energy that you need to start your week off right.
Every single week, we bring you a brand new bunch of amazing animal photos like these ones. We go through every corner of the internet in search of the very best ones that we can fine - that kind that manage to surprise even us who write animal content every single day. We hope you enjoy them, and we wish you a great week!
"The red and white giant flying squirrel does justice to its name. It has been known to grow over a meter in length (over 3 feet) from head to tail tip. The heaviest one ever recorded weighed 4,290 g (9.46 lb), which would make it by far the heaviest gliding mammal."
"An adult Suncus etruscus. Cubs are born naked and blind, weighing only 0.2 g (0.0071 oz). To exit hibernation they warm up by shivering at 3480 muscle contractions/min, while their heart will reach 800–1200 beats/min and their respiratory rate rises to 600–800 breaths/min"
"Macropinna microstoma or barreleye is a rather bizarre deep-water fish with a transparent fluid-filled head and tubular eyes located well inside the head and capped by bright green lenses which collect light. The two spots above the fish's mouth are not eyes; they are olfactory organs called nares."
