There's something magical about the animal kingdom. All these cute critters aren't just adorable friends on four (or more) - they have talents humans can only dream of. Well, mostly. While whales know how to hold their breath for about eternity, we humans needed to invent submarines and diving equipment to do something similar. Beavers know how to control rivers with the sheer force of determination, and we need dams to try and control nature. And flight? So many animals fly, and we had to wait for the Wright brothers until humans could conquer the sky.

The air is full of animals - birds, bugs, the flying mice we call bats, and even flying squirrels are a thing. And we think we are the top of the critter pyramid… Hah! As if. If we don't have a flight ticket, we need a jet pack - and that's just absurd.

You already know we adore animals around here, and we celebrate them at every opportunity we can. And what better way is there to celebrate a part of the animal kingdom than with memes? Call us ignorant, but we don't know any other way. Memes are great, memes are funny, and when you put animals in them - it's pure perfection. So let's spread our wings of humor and fly to funny land - with some flying animal memes.
