daily squee.

Just because you're from a tropical climate doesn't mean you can't celebrate the winter solstice. Thanks to the knitting squad over at Daily Squee HQ, this little parrot is getting into the spirit of the season. ...

When it comes to animals and nature itself, it's not out of the question for something to be both cute and incredibly dangerous at the same time. In fact, with bears--and especially cubs--it's precisely their cuteness that is part of what makes them so dangerous. We went camping with our buddies at Daily Squee recently and spotted some bear cubs. And even though every fiber of our beings was telling us to run up to those cubs and tickle their furry little bellies, our intelligence screamed at us not to. Because wherever there are bear cubs, a big bear momma is sure to be close, and she won't be happy to see you. Few things are as irresistible as furry little bellies, but they're not worth ...

We've spoken in the past about one of the primary tenants of the Paw Nation Book of Regulations, Edicts & No-Nos (borrowed, of course, from the world-famous Daily Squee Decrees). Specifically, I'm referring to the following rule: "Never, never attempt to snuggle, cuddle, nuzzle, wuzzle, or otherwise hug or be hugged by any Panthera tigris--also known as tigers--including Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, Siberian, South China, or Sumatran subspecies, or any varieties as yet undiscovered by humans." That rule is airtight, and we stand by it. Learn it, live it, love it. That being said, I do want to mention that this does not mean that you should think of tigers as your enemies! Tigers are ...

What you see here is a baby turkey. Adorable. right? Adult turkeys may not be the most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom, but their young can rival any chicken chick in cuteness. Speaking of which, do you know what a baby turkey is called? Hint: It's not called a chick. Give up? We have your answer. Happy Thanksgiving from Daily Squee! ...

They say that you're not actually supposed to bait mouse traps and rat traps with cheese, because mice and rats don't actually like cheese. We know we may have just blown some of your minds with that bit of information, but it turns out that not everything you learned from watching cartoons is completely true. So yay Paw Nation, you ask, what does my fancy rat pal want to snack on if not a bit of cheddar? They want what we all want, according to Daily Squee bakers: cookies! That's why Violet the rat here looks so content while snacking on her first holiday cookie of the season. ...

All skunks are adorable. Their stripes, their little faces, the way they waddle around. So many of us want to cuddle them. So few of us have. Because Mother Nature sometimes can be as emotionally cruel as she is physically punishing, and so she gave us an adorable furball who would be perfect for snuggling if it wasn't for its potent, stinky panic button. Apparently what you have to do is gain a skunk's trust. This photo shows a person who somehow made the skunk come to him. And not just any skunk; a baby skunk. And if there's no sense of danger, you won't get sprayed, right? But how did he do it?! The scientists at Daily Squee Laboratories are hard at work trying to crack that mystery ...
