31 Cute Animals That Use Each Other As Pillows

What’s cuter than a sleeping bear cub? Two sleeping bear cubs. Here are 31 photos of animals cuddling up and sleeping together in blissful slumber.

Interestingly enough, sleep time and habits vary greatly in the animal kingdom, even among mammals. Elephants sleep for only 3-4 hours a day due to the amount of time they must spend eating, while little brown bats may sleep for as many as 20 hours because they have the luxury of especially safe and hard-to-reach roosts. Marine mammals like whales and some seals are capable of sleeping with only half of their brain – the other half makes sure they stay afloat and that they resurface regularly.

Now check out these cute and beautiful images – we hope they give you sweet dreams.

Heroic Young Boy Risks His Life To Save A Drowning Fawn From Floodwater

A photographer in Bangladesh has captured photographs of a daring and heartwarming rescue hero that will restore your faith in humanity.

When a baby deer was separate from its family by a flooded river in Noakhali, Bangladesh, its chances for survival were slim. But Belal, a local boy believed to be in his early teens, braved the rainwater-swollen river to reunite the fawn with its family. As the photos show, the swift river waters were at times above the boy’s head – all that was visible was his hand skillfully holding the baby deer by all four legs. 

Hasibul Wahab, the wildlife photographer who captured the daring rescue, was as impressed by the boy’s heroism as he was worried for his safety. “My friend was even ready to jump into the river to save the boy. But he made it, and when he returned, we thanked the boy,” he said. “There were only five to seven people observe this situation but it was a phenomenal sight.”

Worlds Most Polluted River

If you were to walk by a river and saw trash floating down it, you’d probably be disgusted. Pollution is a terrible, passive attack on the world around us. If it bothers you, though, then we suggest staying out of Indonesia. There is a body of water called the Citarum river in Indonesia that would make you gag on sight. It is so polluted and filled with trash, you can’t even see the water.

I’m not joking.

Nearly 5 million people live at the basin of the river, but their activity is just a fraction of the reason why the river is so clogged with trash.

22 Funny Pictures Of Wet Cats

Because cats are widely considered to be the cool and cute overlords of the internet, we thought it was about time to bring them down a notch by showing you just how silly cats look when they get wet.

The two things almost everyone knows about cats from an early age is that they love mice and hate water. Many cats do indeed hate water, especially house cats. Cats in colder environments hate water because they can’t regulate their own temperature quite as effectively when their fur is wet. The wet fur weighs them down as well, and because they are used to bathing themselves with their tongues, many might not even see the sense in taking a bath.

Although it doesn’t look like it in these pictures, cats are certainly capable of loving water. Most kittens that are put into contact with water from an early age won’t fear it nearly as much as cats that only get cold and wet when it rains. Turkish Vans and big cats in hot and arid environments are all fans of water, taking swims to keep cool.

While outdoor cats may need a bath from time to time when they get dirty, most house cats won’t need baths often, if at all. As long as your cat grooms itself regularly, it will stay very clean. More over, if water gets into the ear of a cat that’s not used to it, it can lead to infections or other troubles. So as funny-looking as these photos might be, please don’t give your cat a bath unless they actually need one!

There’s An Animal Refuge In Arkansas And It Might Be The Best Place Ever

If you thought different species of animals could only live together in harmony in Disney films then you were wrong. 

Located in North Arkansas is the Rocky Ridge Refuge, a place of helping and healing for a wide variety of special needs animals that find their way there. Approximately 50-60 animals make their home there at any given time. 

The refuge was started by Janice Wolf, a former veterinarian technician who set up the shelter to rescue and raise wildlife and sick pets after long caring for animals. 

Sharing is caring. Especially when it’s a delicious watermelon.
