Welcome to this week's pictures worth more than 1000 words!

These pictures are cute, they're funny, they're wholesome, and entirely amazing. And each one of them holds a story that will get your imagination spinning out of control.

So, enjoy this week's collection of indescribable pictures and may your week be absolutely amazing!

Wildlife photos are always something that we appreciate. Whether professional or taken by amateurs like us, being able to get a glimpse into the real life of an animal is amazing. Sometimes though, you might capture a picture of an animal in its natural environment that's less fascinating and more... hilarious instead.

Absolutely hilarious in its perfect timing, the pictures you're about to see will show you the true life of animals in the wild. The conclusion? In moments when they're not posing and being totally majestic, animals are as derpy and silly as any of us. And we love them all the more for it. 

It is that time in the week again, that moment in the middle of the week when we're finally starting to feel the tiredness getting to us, and we really need a little extra something to inspire us to keep going. That's exactly what this weekly segment is for. Every single week, we bring you a collection of pictures that are nothing if not inspiring. 

Each one of them has the kind of story behind it that we wouldn't be able to describe in even 1000 words, and they all get our imagination going. So, please enjoy these incredible pictures, and may they give you the motivational boost that you need to finish this week off strong and get to the weekend even stronger!

There are a million reasons why animals are cool and awesome that make us love them so much. It's easy to say why our pets are amazing, for example, but sometimes, it's hard to put into words exactly everything else that makes the animal kingdom so cool. Thankfully, the users on the subreddit r/NatureIsF*ckingLit have managed to explain it for us.

Barely any words are needed really. It's enough to just show, the pictures show why animals are awesome more than anything else. It's mesmerizing to see, honestly. Nature, and animals in particular, really are lit.

We love a good ol' pic of a fuzzy little kitten as much as the next person, but do you ever wonder what they'll look like when they grow up? Cat-lovers of the internet have shared some purr-fect pictures of their mature feline friends compared to when they were kittens. We love how their unique personalities really shine through these snapshots and give us those warm and cuddly feels. 

What is it about cats standing up on their hind legs that's so strange? Probably because it's both cute and bizarre at the same time. The following pics may be totally useless to you, but we found them endearing, so here you go!

2020 has been one rocky year but luckily, in the world of animals, it's never been better! Since the beginning of the pandemic, it was the Earth and animals that have benefited from the lack of us humans destroying the world. 

And with the yearly competition, Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, we're further able to celebrate the magic that is animals, majestic or not. The incredible photographers that have been selected for this year's finalists have really delivered some animal gems! The following photos, captured at the moment, are hysterical and show us all that we're not alone when it comes to looking funny when our photos are taken! 

We were able to talk to Michelle, the head of Comedy Wildlife Photography Award's press office, and asked about the process of narrowing down so many wonderful photographs into the top finalists, she had this to say about the process, "... it is a brutal process. We started with over 7000 images - and whittled them down based on: level of humour, quality of photography, ability to get people's attention. It sounds relatively vague the last point, but we want to get our message of conservation across to as many people as possible, and the images must attract their attention!"

Well, these photographs selected definitely capture our attention! 

The winners will be announced on October 22nd, but the following images are all winners in our eyes! Congrats to all the photographers who made it to the finals and thank you for sharing such imagery with us -- we all could use this fantastic pick-me-up! 

When you look at the ocean, it seems like the most peaceful place on earth. 

But actually, it is filled with beautiful (And sometimes, dangerous) creatures living inside that we can not see.

The ocean is mysterious, terrifying, humbling, and mesmerizing at the same time. 

Its magnificence has inspired countless novels, films and songs, all in constant awe of its power and beauty.   

We have gathered some images of all those tiny, as well as giant creatures, living under the sea. 

The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) holds a photography competition once a year and recently, they have announced the 2020 winning images.  

2020 has been a challenging year for zoos and aquariums around the world who had to deal with the financial impacts of closures as well as taking care of the animals in times of social distancing and loneliness.   

The winning images of the competition, only open to zoo or aquarium staff and volunteers, have managed to capture incredible behind the scene moments from the daily routine of animals and staff alike.
Judge and BIAZA spokesperson Andrew Hall said: "Every day our zoos and aquariums are sharing the extraordinary beauty and fragility of the natural world and this is evident in the incredible winning photos."

According to Wikipedia, an eyelash grows in one layer on the edge of the eyelids and protects the eye from debris, dust and small particles. The eyelashes perform some of the same functions as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, thus providing a warning that an object (such as a bug) is near the eye. 

But lashes are not found only in humans. 

There are some mammals with remarkably long and thick eyelashes - camels, horses, cows and some species of birds are just a few on the list.  

Check out these gorgeous animals with beautiful eyelashes.

Watching a male peacock flashing his colorful tail feathers is definitely a spectacular sight.  

But what about the rare white peacocks? Can they make a dazzling appearance even without all those bold colors?

As you can see from the photos below, the answer is yes!

Contrary to the belief, those beautiful white peafowls are not albino. They are suffering from a genetic mutation called leucism, which prevents the pigments from being deposited into their feathers, leaving them with a total white appearance. 

With more than 150 feathers that reach their full length at the age of two, these rare peacocks are just as feisty and beautiful as their colorful counterparts. While some of them can be found in the wild, it's more common for white peacocks to be the result of selective breeding in captivity, where they can live for up to 50 years.

Sometimes, all it takes is just one photo to leave you speechless.

This collection of amazing animal photos will make you appreciate mother nature even more.
