Friday Feral Fun Made of 25 Wild Animal Memes to Prepaw Yourself for the Weekend

Let's prepare for the weekend as wild animals do.

First of all, we all need to relax from this week, like lions basking in a sunbeam. Just resting, knowing this week's responsibilities are now over. After we gathered our strength, feeling as energetic as a hummingbird, which can flap its wings between 50-80 times per second, we can go on and prepare for real and welcome this weekend. Now, we stretch like a giraffe's neck, and onwards we go.

When the weekend is actually here, it will be nice to go on a long walk, a hike even, like a gray wolf - these beasts cover thousands of miles of wandering in a year. On the hike, we can meet so much of the variety of the wildlife that's out there. Bird watching, for example, is a great way to both relax and try to observe the beauty of nature at the same time.

But when night arrives, the day isn't over. Oh no, it's only the beginning. The night is young, and we're about to wolf it all down. The night party of the weekend can officially start, like a bunch of bats flying through the night's sky, screaming - but for all the right reasons.

Loving the overhated animals is a public service and a sign of excellent critical thinking.
Take pigeons: they didn’t “invade” cities - we invited them centuries ago as messengers and food birds, then blamed them for thriving near us. Skunks get a bad reputation for one dramatic defense mechanism, but they’re gentle, shy animals that eat pests like insects and rodents. Rats are brilliant problem-solvers with strong social bonds, capable of empathy and cooperation, yet they’re often judged for surviving in the environments humans created. Opossums, North America’s only marsupial, are quiet, non-aggressive cleanup crews who eat ticks, carrion, and leftovers without asking for applause. And crows? They recognize human faces, remember kindness, warn each other about danger, and play just for fun - yes, actual play.
These animals adapt, clean, balance ecosystems, and coexist with us far better than we give them credit for. They’re not villains - they’re survivors with terrible PR. Loving them means understanding that nature isn’t here to be cute on demand - it’s here to function, quite literally “as nature intended”. And sometimes the most misunderstood creatures are the ones holding the system together, without asking anything in return.
