It really is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, especially when yesterday was your last day working at the lion park, and the cubs there all pig-pile you for a marathon of hugs and kisses because they don't want you to go. This goodbye is the very definition of bittersweet, readers. It's so bitter because goodbyes are so hard, because our man is never going to see these cubs again, and his heart is clearly breaking because the cubs don't understand exactly that, although perhaps they realize that something is going on. And it's so sweet because the bond of affection between man and beast here is so real and so palpable. This is the kind of goodbye we can only hope for whenever anything ...
Enjoy this video of some cute, cuddly kittens. There's no twist here. There's no larger point to extrapolate or conclusion to be reached. This is just a video of four soft, squeaky, newborn kittens. It's pure, uncut cuteness. Because it's important not to lose sight of what we're really about at Paw Nation. Sometimes you've got to go back to your roots. ...
"These guys are not gonna be happy when they figure out what we're doing here." It's baby-sloth bath time in this clip from Animal Planet's "Too Cute." The sloths receive a weekly bath, and apparently they don't like it, but it's tough to tell when they take it so casually. Then again, sloths by their very nature appear to take everything casually. So we'll take their keeper's word for it that this is a stressful activity for them, though adorable to us. But all is well when the freshly scrubbed furballs are given a special snack of hibiscus flowers, aka "sloth chocolate." Could these creature be any cuter? It's like everything about them was invented by an 8-year-old girl with too much ...
No one's born fierce. Even the most ferocious, intimidating animal in the kingdom was once an adorable puffball. Take this lion cub, for example. Man, it really wants you to be frightened of it. But we're sorry, little one; you're just not scary yet. Every time you try to roar and that little squeak comes out, we just want to hold you and snuggle you and tickle your furry little belly. Don't give up, though. You'll get there. ...
Sometimes you can surprise yourself with how little you actually know about animals. For example, have you ever said to yourself, "Hey, I wonder what rhinos sound like. I've known about rhinos ever since I was a toddler, and yet I don't think I've ever heard the sound that a rhino makes!" Wonder no more, stalwart reader. This video holds the answer to that very question. How do rhinos sound? Very, very annoying. ...
Sometimes owls can be very frightening. Expert hunters, they can seem to peer into your soul with their steely gaze. With their sharp talons and all-around intimidating style, they're not always the friendliest-looking birds around. But every once in a while, an owl lets its guard down. Every once in a while, an owl needs an old-school headscratch, and you're the only one around--you and your magic fingers. And the owl tells you, "I'm going to put away my intimidation act for a minute, and you and I are going to share the cutest experience that will ever happen to you." ...
