I've never realized what a naturally concerned look puffins always have on their faces. This friend is clearly offering to carry some fish for their fellow puffin, but he clearly did a lot of hard work to get those fish and doesn't want to give any of them up.

You could be the largest, most majestic ape in the jungle and still get extremely bored sometimes. He doesn't feel like eating, he doesn't feel like sleeping, he doesn't feel like swinging from trees. What else is there to do as a gorilla?

This poor polar bear can't even with human-caused global climate change. There used to be ice for him to play and live on, and now, it's all melting. Let's do better for this polar bear, people!

Talk to the talons because the parrot don't wanna hear ya. It really does get old when you're friend does nothing but say, "Polly want a cracker" all day long. You don't even have any crackers.

You know when you hear a funny joke and your mom is like, "What's the joke?" and you start telling it and then slowly you both realize that it's way too inappropriate for a child to tell their mother? Yeah, I think that's what happened here.

I cannot get over the very human-looking teeth that this fish has. It looks like he's welcoming you into his home,saying, "Howdy, thanks for stopping by! You can put your shoes right there next to the anemone, and then come on into the reef for some wine and cheese!"
