Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means! For fans of the animal kingdom, it means it's time to find an animal costume that carefully treads the line between being a furry and being Regina from Mean Girls . When you're a kid, it's easy to dress up as a cat or a wolf without getting any slack for it. Animal costumes are available, possibly a little basic, but most of all, cute. As an adult, you have to choose between whatever hogwash Spirit Halloween has to offer or the…

Isn't it crazy how we're all animals ? You and me are just as much of an animal as a fish or a bird. The only difference is that we convince ourselves we're better than other animals because we're the apex predator allegedly. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that humans have better than animals is language. We can conjugate sentences, and they can do nothing of the sort. That's all we've got on them. Most other animals do not have to go to work. Sure, they have to get food and clean them…

Every animal in the world will do two things: live and die. Disney's The Lion King (1994) illustrates this concept perfectly. One second, a monkey is introducing a baby lion into the world. Thirty minutes later, you're sobbing watching that baby lions father being trampled to death. That movie wasn't lying when it talked about the circle of life moving us all. If you love animals, you probably hate animals dying. I remember when the seminal film Marley and Me hit theatres, and animal lovers eve…

At some point, I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome family. I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin , aka The Crocodile Hunter. Unfortunately, unless your name is Bindi or Robert, that is not the life you lead. Even if you weren't born into an icon…

Pincers at the ready

One day we will all return to crab.

And amusing twitter users.

holy cow!

Claws for days

For anyone who hasn't seen a coconut crab before, they're a bit of a sideways-walking nightmare. They like to walk on land and eat coconuts, which basically means they can find you anywhere and pinch super hard. These golfers met a particularly stubborn coconut crab who seemed really interested in a set of clubs, and they found out just how hard it can pinch.

5-star rating for this little homie.

Feeling crabby?

Under rated, not under water!

Crab memes galore

It's the flipping weekend and we were so excited! And then, our friends cancelled our plans, we got stuck in a infuriating traffic jam on the way home from work, and we think there might be a cold going around the offices. Sighs, we could really use something to cheer us up and turn our crabby attitudes into positive ones. Crabs certainly make for an eclectic collection of memes. They can be super duper cute, and they can also be dangerously viscous. They are not to be messed with or underestim…

He made it very clear that it hurt.
