British wolf expert (that's a thing?) (yes, that's a thing!) Shaun Ellis loves him some wolves. For years, he slept and lived with wolves at the Combe Martin Wildlife Park in Devon, England, where he was considered the "peacemaker" among the pack.

In this clip, Ellis (aka, the Wolfman) proves that although Cesar Millan may have cornered the dog whispering community, Shaun Ellis is the guy you go to when you want to teach your wolf to howl.

Also, can we borrow that baby wolf? TOO! CUTE!

t, eat your heart out. This tot is the brains of the family, and at only 22 months old, he's already the one the dog looks to as the Chief Executive, the Master in Command, the Big Shot.

And why shouldn't he? The baby dog whisperer (we'll call him that because we can) has got it made. With a laugh like that, not only is the dog going to love him, but so will everybody else!

Just don't be surprised when the Cuteness Smackdown unfolds. It's only inevitable.

Any cat owner will tell you that their beloved feline certainly knows how to pay attention when it comes to ... holding things. Feathers, yarn, you name it: if you hold it in the air, a cat will not take his eyes off the stuff. It's like candy to a baby, but only if the baby had amazing reflexes.

Someone captured this particular brand of kitty nuttiness on video, and made it into a sort of hipster-y music videos, replete with background music by the Magnetic Fields. It's called "Absolutely Cuckoo Cats," and the title is definitely apropos.

Aw, we love pugs. They're so cute, the way they just sit there on their butts, paws extended and limp, like they're just waiting to be patted on their heads, with their adorable, smushed round faces...

Oh wait! Wow, scratch that! We love Pomeranians. Loooove them poms! They're so cute, the way they pop out of stuff? And then shake? TOO CUTE!

(P.S. We still love pugs.)

He ain't Maru, but it's fun to see Hobbes, an American cat, try his hand at fitting into small boxes. Stateside, we haven't had as much viral success as Maru with our cats (although there are plenty of memorable feline videos bouncing around YouTube), so it's nice to see Hobbes trying to push his way into the center of the internet zeitgeist.

Remember those ads for Coca Cola with the computer-animated polar bears wearing scarves and going sledding? Yeah, that was weird, but so, so cute.

Good news is, we've got our paws on a video featuring a baby polar bear living it up in the fluffy white stuff, and we're not talking about his precious coat!

So forget about those soda bears and get rid of those winter blues by watching this little guy get all roly poly! Now if there were only a way to get him into our backyard...



More Polar Bears

As we try to wean ourselves off the amazing basketball that took place during March Madness, it's only appropriate that we bring you a video of an animal doing his thang on the basketball court. Dribble, dribble, dribble, back and forth! Quick pass, under the leg, Harlem Globetrotter style!

Oh, wait. It's a turtle. Thaaaat's gonna be tough. Give it all you've got, little fella!

Spoiler alert: He shoots! He scores!

Dear Peeps,

I know you really love "National Treasure." I get it: It's an adventure. Nicolas Cage is riveting. And you've got a soft spot for Justin Bartha. You like what you like, and that's OK. I like milk and that mushy fishy stuff, so I understand. But do you understand what it's like for me to have to watch the same movie over and over and over? At this point, it's like duh, he's going to find the treasure in the pyramids or whatever! Seriously.

So how many times can you pretend you don't know what's going to happen? Do you think Cage is just going to show up in a different-colored fedora at some point or with an even worse hairpiece? Not to be rude, you guys, but it ain't gonna happen. So, please, just eject the disc already!

Also, did you buy "Cats & Dogs 2: the Revenge of Kitty Galore" blue-ray dvd yet? Because I'd love to get in on that.

Love, The Cat

We've said it before and we'll say it again: We never tire of interspecies love. Give us a mixed bag of turtles, puppies, birds, bears, goats and guinea pigs, and we'll give you a guide to tolerance. We think everyone deserves the right to love, no matter his age, creed or color of his coat.

So, naturally, this video of a pony and cat sharing a tender moment made us want to go out and get a pony. Luckily, we realized that a pony wouldn't fare so well in our apartment, but we'll always have this video. And that's all we need.

Somewhere in the Far East lives a dog owner who felt that putting a basket on his bike for his dog was just unwarranted. He probably thought, "Really? I need to affix a basket to my bike so that my dog can ride around with me? I don't think so."

So he did the next best thing: He trained his dog to sit up like a person and ride behind him on the bike, his butt just sitting over the wheel cover without a seat belt or leash to lock him in. You don't even see kids do that anymore!

While we will admit that the dog's balance is impressive, we're far less thrilled with the lack of safety in this setup. What do you think?

I am not a father, but I don't think it's too outrageous to say that when I do start a family, I want to have a boy, a girl, a stocky English bulldog and a white pit bull mix, so I can take them on an all-day hike (dogs included) and then to a playground. On the way home, we'll stop at McDonald's, and I'll even get them cupcakes to top off the day (the dogs will get custom-made canine-friendly pastries, of course).

Then, when we get home, I'll pull out my Flip cam, turn on "Sesame Street," and watch who in the group falls asleep fastest. My kids and dogs will be so cute when they fall asleep simultaneously, my camera lens will just break. It just can't take it -- and neither can I.

I'm going to be the best dad ever!

At the Sunshine International Aquarium in Tokyo, the aptly named baby anteater Sunshine is having a little trouble keeping his balance. So, naturally, he climbs onto Mama's back to make his way around the place.

Hey, if you're going to hitch a ride, it may as well be on the back of someone who loves you, right?

Interspecies play gets us every time, and today is no different.

Pit bulls too often get a bad rap, but if every person wary of owning a pit were to watch this video of one of them canoodling with a baby duckling, it might change a lot of minds.

I mean, look at the way the duckling touches the dog's nose! How can you not want both?

"127 Hours" wasn't for everybody. Sure, many will tell you it was a great movie, a sentiment echoed by six Oscar nominations, including one for the award show's co-host (and protagonist in the movie), James Franco.

If you don't know anything about "127 Hours," it's based on a pretty gruesome plot point that might make you squirm -- if not faint.

Seems like this kitty, who gives a Grade-A performance in the short film '127 Seconds," took a few tips from Franco. Bravo!

Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert and Henry Winkler all understand the value of the "thumbs up" sign. It holds major ramifications and deep semantic value.

It's also really funny when a cat gives the thumbs up sign. Jimmy here, a polydactyl cat (one with more than the usual number of toes) is no exception.
