ok this is just TOO fucking amazing to be believed. why is this dog not on South America’s Got Talent??? totally makes chandi the amazing dancing dog look like a feces-eating flea bag.
as much as i love this, part of me wants to categorize this as creepy, because, well, the man has pretty successfully taught the dog how to assume the role of a sexy, hip-shaking latina. he knows the sexuality ends there right??
according to a New Scientist article, the triceratops never really existed as its own species of dinosaur, but was actually just the adolescent version of the lesser-known torosaurus, a species previously believed to have been closely related to the triceratops. paleontologists at the Museum of the Rockies (apparently not a cultural institution dedicated to Stallone’s boxing films) have concluded that the triceratop’s characteristic frill was actually just spongy tissue that in later life would harden to a skull, ergo the torosaurus.
i find this new revelation to be very upsetting for many reasons, chief amongst them being that the triceratops song was the only one i could ever remember when we were learning about dinosaurs in the first grade. because of the tenacity of the rhyme, the triceratops has always been my spirit animal (yes, i realize i just said that) even though it’s been extinct for thousands of years and is ugly and unwieldy as hell. upon closer inspection, how apt for me! why, of all the songs we sang about the dinosaurs did this one stick with me for well over 25 years?? i can only believe that the spirit of the triceratops lives on inside me, occasionally jabbing the inside of my ribs when i eat something too spicy or forget to hydrate enough.
the good news is that when everything is finalized and the “two” dinosaurs are concluded to be one, the species will still go by the name of triceratops, which means i can still recite my triceratops song (to myself) and know that not all of it is now obsolete. in honor of my spirit animal, revised by paleohistory, i give you “The Triceratops Song:”
“Triceratops with three long horns,
a beak like a parrot and a frill where his neck is;
Triceratops with three long horns,
And a tail innnnn back!”
I’ll always love you, frill or no frill, triceratops!

the best test of an inter-species friendship is to take the human element out, i.e. the steady supply of food. that’s when you find out who your true best friends are. really, i think it’s a dog-eat-deer world out there, and it’s gonna take more than the mamas & the papas to convince me otherwise.
but still: SO CUTE, RIGHT????
CUTE OVERLOAD!! but times a million, on steroids, turned to 11, and then hold down SHIFT + 1 for an entire 20 years, then you have half of the cuteness of this video:
all i can say is, i don’t know what the fuck, or why or how, but someone out there had a lot of time on their hands to create meowmania and i couldn’t be more thankful for it.
and you know what they say: don’t look a gift cat in the meowth.
this is amazing! parents: baby got the croup? baby just a crybaby? get a wolf! it will shut your baby up fast!
get your vomit bucket ready, everybody: this lamb running through a house is so fucking adorable, you’ll wish you hadn’t just eaten that döner kebab for lunch.
this pedigree spot is so gorgeous and almost even haunting. watch the dogs catch treats at 1000 frames a second and then attempt to do the same with peanut m&m’s. not as easy at it looks, is it??? at least we can eat chocolate without dying though.
oh my god, i have died and taken the cat elevator to heaven! i want to meet the wondrous people responsible for building this. do they possibly have room for one more in their home? i can take the stairs.
you’d think they were trying to drag him to an Insane Clown Posse concert! nonetheless, i’ll be the first to say it: there is nothing cuter than an invalid cat, AMIRITE??
i thought we all learned this in college:
never leave your drink unattended at the dog run.
otherwise:
i don’t know, can puppies be born with fetal alcohol syndrome? and would that make them even cuter???

with all the time i spend watching cats on the internet, you’d think i would just get one already. but why buy the cat when you can get the lulz for free?
i overheard my future self saying this to my future cat: “i told you you can’t go outside and kill lizards until you’ve practiced your yodeling for at least another hour.”
methinks someone spent their weekend getting rabies shots.
never let those bushy tails fool you: new york squirrels are fierce, ruthless vampires that will eat your face off if they smell food in your mouth.
i love these. if i had a cat he/she would have to abide by a strict dress code: neckwear 24/7. and dinner jackets enforced at mealtime.
in fact, i might even go out a get a cat just so it can wear one of these. it’ll probably prove wiser than my decision to have a baby just because i found some adorable baby wigs.
buy yours from etsy seller whisker kisses.
