One of our favorite things about the animal kingdom is when animals decide to be part of our daily human lives for just a moment. Whether it's encounters with adorable yet mildly scary wild animals, or when we capture funny (im)perfectly timed pictures of wildlife. Whenever animals decide to join us puny humans, things tend to get a bit more fun. 

And since we wanna have some extra fun today, it's time for our newest collection of perfectly timed animal pictures each worth 1000 words. They're hilarious, they're amazing, and they are the kind of picture that could never ever be repeated again - that's how unique they are. 

You have done it, everyone, you have made it through half the week, and yes, that is definitely an achievement. You've been getting up every day, working hard, getting things done in the best, most productive way that you could have. Now that you've made it this far though, we know that you're in need of some more inspiration to work with. And that's why you're here, about to look through this week's collection of animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

Each of these pictures is amazing in its own right - from adorable and funny pictures of animals to the most beautiful pictures of animal phenomena that show off just why we love nature so much. At least one of these pictures will get your imagination going and help you get through the rest of the week perfectly.

So, please enjoy this collection and have a wonderful rest of your week!

Feminism: I mean, what is it really? As far as I'm aware, it is the advocacy for and the belief that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. Therefore a feminist is someone who holds by and supports these beliefs. But what does that look like in real life? How can one prepare themselves to spot a feminist when they meet one? Thanks to a few google searches and some good ol' stock photography, we have the answer. It turns out you can recognize an empowered woman through several discerning features, including the boxing gloves she will always have on and the various cliffs and ladders she is continuously climbing — always wearing business attire.  Check out these and a few other telltale signs in the pictures below what feminists look like according to stock photography. Thank God for feminism!

I don't know what these people did to lead to getting their mugshots taken, but I would argue that their biggest crime is against beauty—specifically, their god-awful eyebrows. There are bad eyebrows, and then there are these monstrosities, which all deserve life sentences. Did I miss the memo that having bad eyebrows a prerequisite to committing a crime? 

Out of all the animals in the animal kingdom, monkeys are our closest ancestors. There are many more similarities than differences between humans and monkeys, and that's something that makes them extra adorable to us. If you're a sucker for photos of adorable baby monkeys, feast your eyes on these orangutans, gorillas and others that will make your heart melt instantly and want to adopt a little monkey as your own child (figuratively, not literally of course). We've heard of crazier things. For more humorous photos, have a look at these liquid cats that squeezed themselves into strange places.

Kids are extremely curious. Sometimes it's rather unbearable. They will willingly ask 100+ questions a day until they exhaust every adult around them. Sometimes though, they will find the answer on their move on with their little lives. The only issue is that that answer may be complete nonsense, and eventually that little kid will grow up to be a big adult and they will have to actually understand what is going on around them. Hopefully, somebody corrects them before it's too late.

I seriously wonder what goes through peoples' minds sometimes. In what world should women be 'flattered' for them requesting nude photos? It can really put women in an awkward position. Do I trust him? Does he really like me? Why doesn't he just ask me to hang out so he can see it all in person? I've heard that our parents generation  used to meet at a hidden spot in their neighborhood, count down from three, flash each other, and then run away. No cameras, no screenshots, no evidence! Though, still wouldn't fully recommend that since public nudity is illegal in many places. Can't have it all I guess.

Sure, we're supposed to respectfully acknowledge public art and statues of great minds and such. That said, if there's a statue of Lewis and Clark that looks even a little bit of a photo opportunity, you better believe people are gonna get up in there. For some images that turned one thing into something else, here are some double take inducing photos of skewed perspective.

When it comes to physics, cats seem to defy it all. No one is quite sure if they come in a solid or liquid state, at this point. They can climb a smooth paving wall and just... stay there. And what's even more confusing than the act itself is how comfortable they look doing it. It's as if their strange and abnormal position doesn't seem to affect them in the slightest. 

Cats are strange mysterious creatures that we may be able to understand and solve. And we've made peace with knowing that. However, even though we've made peace with it, doesn't mean we are stumped every now and then when coming across images such as these below. 

A very unique Super Bowl took place yesterday. An audience 2/3 full of cardboard cutouts, creepy backup dancers, and very very mixed reviews.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who watch the game simply to watch the game. But if you're anything like us, you would rather relish in the snacks, chuckle at the occasional snarky commercial, and, find ways to kill time until the halftime show. These days, however, there is also another component, the hilarious tweets that begin to roll out almost immediately. Whether you won, lost, didn't watch, don't have any idea what we're talking about — you'll probably still enjoy these witty tweets.

Sweet, gorgeous cats. We simply cannot get enough of their purrfection. From the tip of their ears to the ends of their tail, cats are always a pleasure to look at. Seriously, have you ever been able to look at your cat and not get all squeaky as you rush to give them a million forehead kisses? They hold such power over us and we don't care because we would be so lost without them. 

They say that looking at cute animal images is just as beneficial as petting one, and while we're not sure if that is truly equivalent to one another, one thing we do know is that we are 10x more at ease when looking at photos of cats (or any other animal). Cat images are a balance of peace, hilarity, and sometimes chaos. Yet, each image brings us immense joy and we hope it provides you with those same elevated emotions.  

If you need another round of fifty cat images to bring you even more added happiness, look no further. 

Pregnancy photoshoots are a thing. For women. Sure, they can sometimes totally miss the mark and create some awful pictures, but they're usually tasteful. These men decided to take the piss out of typical maternity photoshoots and create their own, with hilarious results.

In recent years, the conversation surrounding toxic masculinity has sparked some critical debate. Society holds some pretty archaic views regarding the stigmas still attached to men who express their emotions or do things perceived as 'soft' or 'feminine.' Although awareness is increasing, there is still a lot more progress to be made. One father, Eric Owens, experienced this first-hand when he posted a photo collage on Facebook of him and his son lying in his arms over the years, including one when his son was a teenager. His post, which he captioned "18 years later and he still under my arm," went viral, with thousands of people commenting on it. Although many of the comments were positive, a good handful of them (mostly from men) was negative, stating how strange they thought it was for a father to show affection to a grown son— something only a mother should do. Someone posted it all on Tumblr, adding a rant about how this was a classic example of the toxic masculinity pervasive in society and people are agreeing. What do you think about it all?

The winners of the 2020 Ocean Photography Awards have been announced and we're in awe of the breathtaking photos of the world we don't see often - the world under the sea. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees, each photograph is simply superb.

Each year, Oceanographic magazine holds the Ocean Photography Awards in a celebration of "our beautiful blue planet, as well as a platform to highlight the many plights it is facing." Such as the difficult photographs of the Conservation Photographer award, images of incredible sea life being tormented by waste. It's heartbreaking to see but important to share and be aware of. 

The photographer awards are open to everyone, from amateurs and professionals to everyone in-between. There are six categories and the overall winner which receives the title of 'Ocean Photographer of the Year.' 

The awards were streamed live from an extended reality stage in London, UK, you can watch the awards on YouTube. 

We can't wait to see what remarkable photographs are waiting to be discovered next year! 

When women take pictures, it's a team effort. With one bending down on the floor and contorting herself into specific positions to help her friend get that perfect shot, and the other taking 8000 mirror selfies until she has one that's perfect for Instagram, it's an area that will forever baffle men. And for that matter, many women too. So it's hilarious when men copy us girls when it comes to taking pictures and doing all the poses that we're so famous for doing. I guess this will make us think twice before posing in front of men, knowing how ridiculous they think we look.

There are some images out there that we look at that actually make us pause. They're like art. You look at them and can't help but think about what in the world may have led to that moment being captured in the way that it was. Perfect timing, rare friendships, adorable animal family photos, and adorableness that's out of this world. They've got it all, sometimes all at once.

These kind of pictures that are worth more than 1000 world are impossible to capture in quick captions, so we simply let them speak for themselves. And since we love these kinds of photos so much, we bring you a collection of them every single week to get your imagination running and your creativity flowing.
