Every once in a while, as we scroll through the depths of the internet, looking for something interesting to write about for you guys, we find ourselves chuckling. "This is our new spirit animal," we think to ourselves, amused by all kinds of adorable, silly animals. Like that time we discovered the cat who is constantly having an existential crisis, and we thought… "yeah, us." Or that time we found out that there's a dog that was too shy to become a service dog, and we thought… "yeah, been there." Or that time we came across a video of chipmunks besieging a pot of strawberries, and we simply knew that, given the opportunity, we too would go to war for snacks.

But today… today's animal takes the cake on the relatability scale. Meet the viscacha - the animal that always looks sad, disappointed in everything, like it constantly needs a nap and like it's generally done with life. Yes… "us."

"Always looking sad, disappointed, and needing a nap"… yeah, we think this might be our new spirit animal ad well. It only makes sense. We're not always sad, disappointed, and needing a nap, but we kind of look like it. So… just like the Viscacha.

Okay, wow. Every time we see this image, we smile all over again. It really does look sad, disappointed, and in need of a nap. This is exactly what we look like toward the end of the work day… and the beginning of it.
