Sigh. Another Monday is here, and boy, oh boy, do we wanna stay in bed a little while longer. Well, that's not exactly true. We want to get out of bed and kick the world's bootie. But we're tired, and our sheets are so soft, and our pets are so cuddly in the mornings. To get out of bed… we need a little bit of inspiration - something to remind us of how much awesomeness there is to see in the world. And that's exactly what we have for you today - pictures capturing the awesomeness of the animal kingdom.

Every single week, we start your Monday morning with an collection of animal photos caught at just the right moment! we promise that scrolling through these pics will remind you how hilarious, how ridiculous, how beautiful, and how crazy the animal kingdom can be. Five minutes, and you'll get the exact boost that you need for the week. Have a fabulous week, y'all!

"The smallest Tortoise in the world is the Speckled Padloper Tortoise. These tiny creatures measure a full 3 inches (6-8 cm) for adult males and 4 inches (8-10 cm) for adult females, and weigh in at a beefy 100-165 grams."

"The 'Golden' or Spotless Cheetah is a color morph caused by a recessive gene. Instead of the usual dark spots, its markings are little smatterings of brown freckles. It's a rare occurrence; before this male cat was spotted in Kenya in 2012, the last recorded sighting of such a morph had been in 1920"
