riding on turtles.

We have to say, this parakeet seems a lot more stressed out about its turtle taxi ride than previous animals have been when riding on turtles. Perhaps it didn't realize it was resting on a living creature in the first place. As still as that turtle is for the first chunk of this video, it's not unreasonable to imagine the bird thought it had found a comfortable rock to sit on before it suddenly took off at a speed we can only describe as impressive for what's supposed to be a slow-moving creature. ...

Then we shared that absolutely adorable clip of the rehabilitated baby sea lion being released back into the wild of the ocean. Now we've found another video featuring a baby sea lion, and it's the funniest one yet. We love interspecies palling around. And why shouldn't these two be friends? They both hang out in water and on land, and they both have flippers. That's two things in common, more than many couples. And Turtly's willingness to lend Sealy a hand after they only just met is quite charming. We ...

"Keep going! You're almost there! We should be catching up to him any minute now." The race between the tortoise and the hare just got little bit more exciting. The slow-moving fan favorite picked up an extra companion, a cheerleading kitty to make sure he places first. And even if they don't cross the finish line before that jackrabbit, this lovable duo will definitely win your heart. Share ...
