Over 100 new species were found!

That's one big monkey

We don't think you can top these tales of airport madness . But you're welcome to try! If you work in the airline industry , or you're just a frequent flyer, you're going to witness some crazy moments eventually. From a grandma accidentally smuggling scissors through security, to an escaped pup running around the tarmac, these people have seen some things. Nothing crazy has ever happened to me at the airport, except the time I waited in the security line for three full hours, which was excrucia…

Wooohoooo

One at a time!

I have a question for you. Do you like animals? If you answered yes, I have a second question for you. Do you like animals that aren't just cats and dogs? If you answered yes to both of these questions, congratulations! You will probably enjoy the animal memes that lie before you. I constantly think about what it means to truly be an animal lover, and I've finally cracked the code. In the world, there are animal lovers , and then there are pet lovers. Some people are literally addicted to havin…

Two days ago, one of the better animal-themed holidays took place. If you're an animal lover , Thanksgiving can be a difficult time for you, but Groundhog Day is a bright light that is far too underrated. We don't even get work off for the little guy! I know it's kind of silly that we listen to a groundhog's opinion on the future of weather in this country, but I wholeheartedly believe that we should have more silly animal holidays. The Easter Bunny is definitely up there as one of the goofiest…

Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means! For fans of the animal kingdom, it means it's time to find an animal costume that carefully treads the line between being a furry and being Regina from Mean Girls . When you're a kid, it's easy to dress up as a cat or a wolf without getting any slack for it. Animal costumes are available, possibly a little basic, but most of all, cute. As an adult, you have to choose between whatever hogwash Spirit Halloween has to offer or the…

Isn't it crazy how we're all animals ? You and me are just as much of an animal as a fish or a bird. The only difference is that we convince ourselves we're better than other animals because we're the apex predator allegedly. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that humans have better than animals is language. We can conjugate sentences, and they can do nothing of the sort. That's all we've got on them. Most other animals do not have to go to work. Sure, they have to get food and clean them…

Every animal in the world will do two things: live and die. Disney's The Lion King (1994) illustrates this concept perfectly. One second, a monkey is introducing a baby lion into the world. Thirty minutes later, you're sobbing watching that baby lions father being trampled to death. That movie wasn't lying when it talked about the circle of life moving us all. If you love animals, you probably hate animals dying. I remember when the seminal film Marley and Me hit theatres, and animal lovers eve…

At some point, I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome family. I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin , aka The Crocodile Hunter. Unfortunately, unless your name is Bindi or Robert, that is not the life you lead. Even if you weren't born into an icon…

Pincers at the ready

One day we will all return to crab.
