Thereโs almost no one alive who doesnโt like animals.
Itโs often said that animals are better than us. Dogs and cats have proved their loyalty to humankind 100 times over. But even wild animals have shown themselves to be loyal, loving, and courageous. Itโs no wonder we canโt get enough of them.
Weโve had relationships with animals for tens of thousands of years. Scientists think that mankind has domesticated dogs for as long as 32,000 years. We havenโt had cats as long. Evidence suggests we began domesticating them close to 12,000 years ago. Regardless, itโs been a long time. We just love animals and always have.
Now, we have modern technology. They say the internet was invented for cats, but letโs face it. It was invented for cute animal pictures of all types. We take photos of animals, tweet them, Facebook them, and Snap them. We just canโt help it. Here are 75 of the best Snapchats of animals weโve ever seen.
1. โSleepy boyeโ
Most bats find a secluded spot in a tree or cave for their daytime snooze. But this little guy decided to camp out right on a doorframe. At least everyone was considerate.
2. โMy husband on the happiest day of his life.โ
His wife said this was the best day of his life. Youโd think that would have been his wedding day. But the wedding day gets trumped by snuggling a sloth.
4. โThe animal handlers at the Oregon Zoo took Elephant around to meet some other animals. The sea lions were her favorite.โ
When an elephant at the zoo was feeling lonely, the zookeepers decided to let her meet some of the other animals. She instantly hit it off with the sea lions, and her happiness is palpable.
The lion might be the king of all animals, but that doesnโt mean heโs not still a cat. And like every feline, he lives by the mantra โIf I fits, I sits.โ
Weโve all seen Marilyn Monroe in her famous white dress from The Seven Year Itch. Apparently, this pigeon is a fan of classic movies. Or it just walked over a vent.
7. โMy sisterโs goat had a baby today and the chickens came to say hello.โ
It was a big day on the farm when one of the llamas gave birth to her first baby. The chickens, like good neighbors, all rushed over to congratulate the new mom.
8. โI saw a woman driving with a Falcon stuck in her grill today. I ran out on the street and flagged her down.โ
In the most traumatic day of this hawkโs life, it got stuck in the grille of a car and wasnโt noticed until the driver was speeding down the highway. Concerned passersby helped rescue the trapped bird.
9. โMy wife just shot this pic of a sleepy albino squirrel.โ
You wouldnโt think that lying face down on a branch would be comfortable, but this albino squirrel would disagree. He looks pretty comfortable up in his tree.
10. โI walked in on my cats holding paws like this and looking at the birds together.โ
Not all cats get along, but these two have a special connection. They like to watch the birds in the yard together while holding paws. Who knew cats could be so romantic?
11. โRecently every morning my father places bird food in the yard for my mother to wake up on this view.โ
Some couples never lose their sense of romance. An adult child was touched to see their father had started feeding the birds in the shape of a heart so their mother would notice it every morning.
Gorillas are incredibly smart and they understand a lot about human communication. When a gorilla flipped a zoo visitor the bird, he was shocked to see them respond in kind. Letโs just say he wasnโt happy.
Modern technology has some amazing features, like a security measure that takes a picture of anyone trying to unlock your phone. That includes your pet guinea pig.

16. Mrs. Meesqueaks likes to nibble my fingernails, but holds my fingers still to be sure she doesnโt hurt me. If I say โouchโ she stops and licks the finger instead.โ

19. โThereโs always a safer route, especially with two baby moose.โ
Everybody needs to be safe while crossing the street, even if theyโre a moose. This mother moose was doing a great job keeping her little ones away from cars. It was better for the drivers, too.

I bet you didnโt know you needed this today: a man walking a duck on a leash. Also, the duck is wearing special duck shoes. Iโm not sure why, but thatโs whatโs happening.
22. โI went to the store to buy a fish . . . meet fish.โ
Fish are pretty, but letโs be honest โ theyโre not the most interesting pets. This Fish is much cuddlier than the rest of them. And it will live longer, too.
Meet Bacon Seed, the comfiest pig in the whole world. Life is pretty good in this little pigโs world, with nothing to do but nap in the sun. I want that life.
25. โI should really start charging this guy rent.โ

Finding one animal in a dumpster isnโt uncommon, but finding 15 is crazy. With this many raccoons enjoying a meal together, it must be raccoon Thanksgiving.
30. โGirlfirnd woke her ferret up by coming into the room loudly and was greeted with these absolute daggers.โ
Animals arenโt very considerate when it comes to making noise while weโre trying to sleep. But when this ferretโs owner accidentally woke him up, he was less than pleased.
31. โMy apartment pool was being put to good use.โ
Ducks love swimming in lakes and ponds, but itโs not all that common to see them in the pool. But hey, sometimes you have to start the kids in the shallow end.
We almost always see owls in flight or huddled up on a branch, so you might not know how long their legs are. But after this picture, youโll never be able to forget.
33. โThose are mind, look at the bag it says my name.โ
Iโve never had a cheetah stare me down menacingly in a car. But if I did, I think I would surrender the snacks without a fight. Itโs not worth it. In all fairness, the real cheetah may have just been attracted to the cheetah image on the packaging.
I donโt know what my favorite part of this is: how cute the crow is or the fact that someone took the time to make a tiny crow hat. All I know is this is 10/10 wholesome content.

45. โHeyyy why is there a hole in my flower garde . . . Oh!โ

Sure, itโs hilarious to have a squirrel come up and help itself to your lunch. But itโs the expression of pure ecstasy that makes the photo hilarious. To be fair, thatโs what I look like when I eat French fries.
47. โCougar breaks into house and plays with blinds.โ

They say wind turbines are bad for animal life, but they never mention the sheep. This flock seems to be enjoying the shade of a nearby turbine blocking out the hot sun.

In some countries, pigeons are such a problem that people use fake ones as a kind of scarecrow. Either this one is defective or this pigeon doesnโt fear anything.

To be honest, Iโm not sure Iโve ever looked as cool as this long-haired guinea pig. Heโs giving off a real John Lennon vibe with those round sunglasses. Can I have his autograph?
75. โI did a newborn photoshoot for my little rescue squirrel, Cardboard. I know Iโm insane, but it turned out pretty cute.โ
Many parents have newborn photoshoots done to welcome their new baby into the world. Apparently, you can also do this with rescued baby squirrels. Cute tiny headbands are required.
