Good morning, dear readers. We're super excited for the upcoming Olympics in the beautiful city of Paris (or as the Parisians like to call it, "Pair-ee"), and we can't wait to watch all the exciting events and cheer for our athletes to take home some gold medals. However, there is one thing that could make the Olympics more exciting, and that would be animals. Animals are the original athletes after all, the OG, before we had cars, animals got us where we needed to be. So, in honor of our hardworking animal friends, we're dedicating this hilarious meme listicle to proving that animals are truly the ultimate athletes.

Behold, the ideal curvature of the capybara, he is truly a specimen of athleticism that has no equal. Behold, the horse, that carried men for hundreds of years, now lays around in the pasture, eating hay and living his best life. Okay, we're being a bit silly here, but animals really are amazing, even if these funny memes say otherwise. Scroll down, enjoy, and let's get ready to grab the gold medal today (if not, these animals will take it right out of your hands!).

    clair without the "e" @nastywomanatlaw "why are you crying?" because bears sit and look at good views SENSE OF BEAUTY -many people have witnessed bears in the wild partaking in unusual behavior such as sitting still for long periods of time in one spot doing apparently nothing but staring at scenic vistas such as sunsets, lakes and mountains. There is very little explanation as to what use or purpose is in this behavior except in theorizing that the bears merely find such views to be aesthetic a
