Oh lawd, it's Monday again. Yes, you do have to get out of bed this morning, no matter how warm and comfortable your blankets are. You have to. Because someone has to make sure that your pets stay as spoiled as they deserve to be. Still, difficult as Monday may be, there are some ways that you can make it slightly less so. In fact, you can use Monday morning to collect as much energy as possible to use for the rest of the week - to look at the kind of pictures that inspire you and make you think, the kind of pictures that will remind you of just how much awesomeness there is in the world to see - pictures like animals caught just at the right moment.

Every single Monday morning, we bring you this segment, full of pawsome animal photos that are one of a kind, that will never be captured again. We hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we did collecting them, everyone, and may you have a pawfect week!

"The Spotted Hyena has a bite force of 1,100 PSI, making it stronger than most other Mammals like Dogs & even Tigers. This enables them to access the nutrient-dense marrow within the carcass of prey that is otherwise inaccessible to other animals."

"This is not a lizard. The Tuatara lives in New Zealand and is part of the prehistoric reptile lineage called Rhynchocephalians, but today they're the only surviving members left."
