Last week we introduced you to the phenomenon that is hedgehog GIFs. It’s a simple yet totally effective concept when it comes to cheering up. But have you yet discovered the power of the penguin? These tiny nuggets of adorable are equally fantastic day brighteners, simply because penguins are funny and cute in any given circumstance.

Dorothy is no longer the only person walking among lions, tigers and bears.

Who doesn't love a good baby story? This one is about twin baby horses, which are very rare and very cute!

We don't know what's gotten into these guys. Maybe some of them just aren't cut out for life on the farm.

Sure, they could swim, but why not take a ride if it's there?

It can be hard to tell what an animal's thinking when it sneezes.

Peter Bailey, 27, was taking his dog for her evening walk along the beach in Tenby, Wales, when he came across this unusual sight. He snapped some pictures of it, because he had no idea what it is, and now it has earned the name The Beast of Tenby.

A dog’s bark may be worse than its bite, but the same can’t be said for its aim.

Having a trampoline in your backyard is more popular than ever, and our four-legged friends are getting in on the action.

You probably didn’t know this (and if you did, you're kind of gross maybe) but unlike many other reptiles and mammals, alligators crawl around all day with a fully erect pecker tucked inside their body, which engages like a sexual switchblade (great band name) when it comes time for some of that good old Louisiana swamp lovin’.

Supposedly this is the war cry of the Namaqua Rain Frog, but honestly, it's not very intimidating. It seems to be more of a "cry for help" cry, the kind you make when things are about to turn ugly. Then again, we don't know how anything could be as ugly as this frog...

Monkeys and apes—sometimes they look so much like us that it's almost like we're all somehow related.
