Happy Wednesday, animal fam. Come with us on a little safari today and leave your mundane meetings behind. We're Miss Frizzle-ing you and taking you to the wild side of the wonderfully weird animal kingdom, and oh boy, is it wild, weird, and wonderful. We learned more from these silly animal memes than we did in all of our 8th-grade biology class (see, we can be educational too), and we had a much better time doing it. So say goodbye to your boring, drab office full of suits and cubicles and let's walk through the colorful world of nature today.

We've got everything blue cockroaches (just give them a chance) to snail church in this listicle, so don't you dare accuse us of not being inclusive enough. You won't find a single howlarious dog meme in this listicle (but if you wanted some dog memes, we do have plenty of those here). Nature has not only produced some of the strangest creatures, but apparently, also some of the funniest animal memes. Buckle up, because this listicle is a rollercoaster of giggles and awwducation. Enjoy!

    It's still a cockroach, but it is significantly cuter than a normal brown cockroach. We will give it that. However, we still don't want to find one in our houses. Good thing we don't live in the rainforests of Guyana!

    We were so confused for a second. Anteaters have such a specific look that we never though to look at them from this perspective. We're not sure we like it. Once was enough for this kind of thing.

    Phacellophora camtschatica, commonly known as the fried egg jellyfish or egg-yolk jellyfish, is a very large jellyfish in the family Phacellophoridae. This species can be easily identified by the yellow coloration in the center of its body which closely resembles an egg yolk, hence how it got its common name. The primary prey of the Fried Egg Jellyfish is zooplankton and other jellyfish. These appendages are usually colored a deep purple and while stingers are present, the sting has very little

"ursus" meaning bear in Latin and "arctos", bear in Greek. so essentially a grizzly is a "horrible bear bear." shaymew The Eurasian Brown Bear is Ursus arctos arctos So literally "Bear Bear Bear". The most bear a bear can be. So bear. Much roar. Wow. Also! The Arctic Circle is named for the bears, not the other way 'round. It's the Circle With Bears In, and the Antarctic is the Circle (and conti
