Nudge, nudge, random person on the internet. It's time to howl with laughter.

Yes, if there was ever a time to burst out laughing, it's now. Why? Just because. Listen, there are always reasons why you shouldn't surround yourself with some humor to soothe your soul - you're busy, you're working, you're running errands, you're going over your to-do list, you're actually doing your to-do list, and so on… There's never a right moment to just stop whatever it is that you're doing and just release a good laugh, like a wolf's howl.

Just think of animals - any of them. When you're an alligator, you're not thinking about your underwater duties - you just chill on a riverbank. When you're a capybara, you never think of anything important you must do - you just… are. When you're a monkey, you don't think of your clocked-in time at work - you just jump to the next tree, or on to another adventure.

The animal kingdom is full of opportunities to just chill, laugh, and simply be. We should definitely take some of that into our human lives. And here is the opportunity for today - with these animal memes.

    What animal is this?
    via @AMAZlNGNATURE

  • Great question! What is this animal? It's the shape of a fox, but has the fur colors of a mysterious magical creature from fairytales of old. He seems to possess a hypnotic magic, because we can't take our eyes off of him, no matter how hard we try. He's fabulous. He's mesmerizing. He's absolutely amazing.

    So, yeah, we can't really say what animal he is. We're too caught up in his magical powers.

  • Will you really take this advice from an anteater? Like, yeah, they're cute and all, and we love their weird long and narrow mouths, but we're not taking any culinary advice from them. The reason is literally in their name.

    Imagine going hiking and running into this. I don't even know what my next move would be
    via @AMAZlNGNATURE

  • Oh, we definitely know what we would do if we were hiking and seeing an abnormally muscular puma staring us straight in the eyes. We would go “Here, kitty kitty, pspsps, c'mere little guy, come get some love and pets.”

    So if we ever disappear out of nowhere, just know that these were our last words in this particular situation.
