Oof, it's one of these weeks again. You get sucked up into work, the schedule swallows you, the traffic grinds you down. It feels like you barely keep your head above the water. Man, civilization-ing is hard.

We all wish we could leave everything for a bit and go out to nature, go on a hike, explore the unknown, and not worry about any day-to-day responsibilities. To just breathe the air that the wholesome wildlife breathes for a change. It could be nice to have the ability to turn into some chill wild animal for 24 hours. Live in the wilderness for a bit, to clear the head from the troubles of society. Animals have that magic, but unfortunately, we cannot perform the spell to turn into a wild animal ourselves.

But we do have the magic of wild animal memes. They might not physically transport you into a chill clearing in the woods, but they can mentally transport you to a wildly funny place, full of animalistic laughter and some wildlife fun.

  • When you and your friends feel like a mess of iguanas - meaning, a general spikey mess - just embrace it. That's the World Wild Web vibe. Send some wildlife memes to each other, you're all good.

    Today I learned that Tigers cannot purr. To show happiness, tigers squint or close their eyes. This is because losing vision lowers defense, so tigers only purposefully do so when they feel comfortable and safe Show this thread

    I hate it when people ask me: "Are you a dog or a cat person?" I will pet a crocodile if I know the little fl won't bite me.
    via @catchymemes

  • Oh, yes. We know the feeling. It's very sad we cannot pet every cutie patootie in nature, but what can you do… We can appreciate these magnificent beings, the wild animals, from afar.
