    Next month, Google Maps will celebrate 8 years of helping us get through the day, street by street, turn by turn. Thanks to its innovative and incredible street view option, Google has also given us the ability to travel to places we might never actually physically set foot on. For those of you who have spent hours perusing through random cities of the world, you may have seen one or two of its animal inhabitants every now and then. According to Petslady, there are countless creatures who have made their photographic mark on Google street view. Check it out. 

    COLORADO CAT CROSSING

    Boulder, Colorado, may not be the first city to come to mind when you think of wild tigers, but according to this street view photo, there was one on the loose in the middle of a shopping center. Well, sort of. The exotic animal wasn't actually real, but from this point of view, we were totally fooled. Turns out this faux beast is just made of fiberglass, though were sure it still shocked drivers. We're not sure if it boosted or decreased sales from the DecorAsian furnishings store that placed it in its parking lot.

    OSTRICH CHECKPOINT

    Cars trying to make their way down the road must first stop at the ostrich checkpoint, according to this Google street view snapshot. An ostrich is seen bending over and sticking its head into a window, probably asking for their $2 toll.

    NOT TO SLY BREAK-IN

    Foxes are famous for their cunning and crafty ways, but this furry creature was not living up to his species' reputation. Google caught the fluffy-tailed fox trying to break into a second floor room of a home in Narva, Estonia. Oops! His bad.

    DONKEY DOWN

    This particular photo is not as awesome as the others as it captures a donkey during one of its most embarrassing moments, which will forever be immortalized by Google Maps. However, Google has assured us all that the donkey is alive and well.
