The frustrating thing about elephants is that whenever you see them you just want to hug them and have their whole elephant body in the hug, but you’ll never be able to do that unless you get them pretty much right when they’re born. Right? And you’re probably never going to be able to get them right when they’re born, unless you’re an elephant breeder or you work with elephants some other way or you’re a zoologist or something, or you ARE an elephant, and none of us are that I don’t think, so basically we’re completely out of luck. We just have to watch videos of baby elephants crawling all over their mother elephants and dream of another life in which we studied elephants all throughout college and then in school after college, whatever school we needed to go to, and then we were in a position where we had to take care of a lot of baby elephants because there were too many of them somehow? So our apartments were just crawling with the tiniest baby elephants, because there was no room at the zoo. And they slept in our beds. And it was a perfect world. And you never felt lonely or unhappy, because of the elephants. Let’s watch more animal videos now, I’m already VERY depressed. (Via VVV.)

This dog has pretty long ears, but they aren’t THAT long. Like, it’s not like a deformity. Aren’t physical world records supposed to be kind of about deformities most of the time? Not sad ones, just ones that make you win weird world records? Like, you can walk for 24 hours on your hands but that’s because your shoulders have too many muscles? Whatever. In any case, I’m not totally impressed with this dog’s ears. If you put that dog’s ears on a tiny puppy I’d be impressed. Next video please. (Via StuffIStole.)

Awww, now this is impressive. Why are animals so much cuter in Japan? That is a real question I have. Why do they have all the cutest dogs and cats there. And why can’t we have them here. They obviously EXIST. Can someone just bring them here? For me to have? Maybe other places don’t even exist at all and it’s all just a lie and none of these animals really exist either, they’re all just computer animations. And when you fly on airplanes to places you only fly to like a few designated areas that the government has set up, but they’re all fake. You know what I mean? Like you think you’re flying to Ireland but really you’re flying to a place just south of what we know as Florida. Right? There’s no way to really know if everything I’m saying is incorrect. If it were incorrect, why aren’t our animals as cute? I rest my case. (Via Uniblog.)

The YouTube description says, “a frog is levitated using a 10 tesla magnetic coil using diamagnetism.” Soooo. Enjoy! (Via reddit.)

It’s possible that these aren’t actually noises that the cat is making, but I refuse to debate about it. I’m just going to believe that they are noises that the cat is making because I want to believe and JEEPERS CREEPERS! What a bunch of weird noises! That cat is either possessed or he is very holy and is singing a holy song and I guess is also possessed in that case. But: Why is there a girl with a book on her head? That is the only question I have about this video, I guess. Why the girl with the book on her head. Everything else makes sense. (Via reddit.)

WHY THE PINK NAILS? (BuzzFeed.)

This is just an enjoyable video of a little bear cub playing in the snow. Aww. How cute. It almost makes you wish there were snow outside right now and you had a friend with a puppy and a yard so you could play with the puppy in the snowy yard. But then you remember how cold that would be, so you go back to enjoying this video for what it is and not thinking about it any further. Awww, CUBBY!

  1. Mmm. If Harbor the Dog’s owner likes playing with long things, I’ve got something she might be interested in, if you know what I mean.

  2. May I submit the impossibly adorable Er Xi for your consideration?

    Er Xi is a one year-old giant panda from the Chendgu Panda Base in China. His mother, Er Yatou, lost her first two cubs and then suffered several miscarriages and researchers did not think she could successfully carry a healthy cub to term.

    However, Er Xi the Miracle Panda was born strong and healthy last July and seems to have a particular knack at posing for pictures. He is the coolest of all the pandas.

    That is all.

  3. That alpaca is doing the exact same thing that I do when I see a kitty. Just get on down and rub my face on it. C’mere, kitty.

  4. Guys. I just found out that there are Llama costume contests. THAT IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. I really wish I could put up pictures but my friend’s flickr will not allow it. It is frustrating because THERE IS A LLAMA DRESSED AS BATMAN. That is a thing that needs to be shared with the world.

  5. That video was elephantastic!!!

    …Later, conclusive reports concerning both the time and method of teacherman’s death would remain unconfirmed, though a universal consensus cited “one bad pun too many” as motive. “He would just put two words together and call it a joke,” cited one blue, cookie-eating individual who requested his name not be revealed. “I mean, frankly, I’d rather see a 2012 joke or than another one of teacherman’s puns. It was that bad.”

    Teacherman is survived by his wife, Baby Friday, and their three dogs: Handsomedog, Girl One, and L’il Bit. He will not be missed.

  6. Ummm…as the proud human of 2 Basset hounds, I will say that Harbor has NOTHING on them!! You ain’t got no game, Harbor!! Try having those ears coupled with 3 inch legs!!

  7. Don’t all cats sound like that in Croatian?

  8. This is very good timing. Did you know that the San Diego Zoo Safari Park has an excellent webcam through which you can just watch elephants all day? When you’re not working very hard at your job, which of course you are always doing, you can just sit there and watch a herd of elephants, including babies(!), eating and playing and walking around and sometimes having a pool party. It’s the best.

  9. I think everything is cute.

  10. “Look mommy, the elephants are depressed and listless because they’re spending their entire lives jailed in a tiny cage!”

  11. First of all, if “Elephants” had been a legitimate major in college I probably would’ve chosen to major in that major. Secondofly, “climbing on things” is the cutest thing anything can do.

  12. I love the visual of my house full of tiny elephants!
