Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)

This was only up for 16 minutes, but it's pretty classic. The fine folks at the Chicago Tribune are famous for their award winning writing and hard hitting commentary. Famous political cartoons too. And they also announced that "Dewey defeated Truman". Whoops!

If we all didn't love anthropomorphic animals so much, there's no way Disney would be as successful as it is. It turns out there's something better than cartoon animals acting like people though -- real animals acting like people.

Raise your hand if you love trampolines! We sure do, particularly because they're like an instant way to revisit our inner five-year-old. While trampolines are no doubt fun, they can be hilariously painful, too (see: epic fails). If you think about it, though, the trampoline concept is also straight up confusing. That's why these animals are all, "what the heck, man?!"

Achieving a perfectly-timed picture is tricky stuff, because it doesn’t usually happen on purpose. But when these photos are done right, the result is Web G-O-L-D.

People can be awkward. Missed high fives, cell phone crashing-- humans are pretty darn good at making things hilariously embarrassing. Luckily for our own entertainment purposes, we've discovered another variety of awkward masters-- animals!

Until yesterday, the Broadway production of the Truman Capote classic 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' had been notable for starring 'Game of Thrones' mother of dragons Emilia Clarke in the Holly Golightly role. But now it's an animal actor who's getting all the ink.

The internet has a longstanding, undisputed love of cats. Just because we love something doesn't mean we have to think it's perfect, though. Cats, for example, in addition to being cuddly and adorable, are basically huge jerks.

It looks as if that obesity epidemic that America finds itself in has spread to the feline population. Perhaps our FLOTUS can tackle that next, but until she does, we'll settle for this news anchor's giggling coverage.

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.

There's no sense in denying cats can be a little sassy from time to time, simply because they're not afraid to make it totally obvious they hate something. Costumes? Check. Reindeer antlers? Double check. Their 'tude doesn't make them any less adorable, though! It's sort of charming, actually.

Usually by mid-January we're all sick of snow, but it's magically fun again after seeing it through the eyes of a critter who's never set foot in snow before.
