Getting injured is a scary thing for everyone- humans and animals alike, but sometimes, accidents happen. And though getting a cast put on may be a little scary in and of itself, we know it's for our own good. 

It's hard to say whether these animals know the same thing, but we hope they do. We hope they understand that we're only doing these things to protect them. One thing is for sure, we know for sure that they are the bravest, most courageous little things, and since we know they're going through a tough time, we will give them all the treats and all the love they may ever need. 

Starting right here. Get well soon, little guys. 

Is there anything more wholesome than tini-tiny widdle animals? We don't think so. Whether it's tiny frogs, tiny crabs, tiny pigs, or any other tiny being, their little smol selves have a way of sneaking into our hearts like nothing else. 

We honestly hadn't realized how adorable and tiny pigs could be for a while, but once we saw a tiny piggy, that's it, game over, our hearts were stolen. We couldn't look away. Looking at these tiny oinkers truly brings us joy, and we hope they'll do the same for you. But if tiny is not what you're looking for, we've got some giant kitty floofers for you to check out.

Paper cut artists, nayan shrimali and vaishali chudasama, have created a series of intricately cut 2.5D birds. 

Each bird is made by cutting out different layers on paper and then painting on details, like feathers or coloring, using watercolors. The pieces are then hand-assembled to give a final 2.5-dimensional look, creating the illusion of three-dimensionality. 

Each artwork takes between 4-6 hours to finish.

We are so impressed!
