Great strides in the field of anthropomorphically amusing animals: Among 208 new species discovered in the Mekong River region of Southeast Asia is an "Elvis monkey" that "looks like it wears a pompadour."

Video of a mutant bunny born near Japan's quake-ravaged Fukushima power plant has gone viral. The bunny, which was born without ears, might be evidence of radioactive contamination, which may someday render the entire population of Japan microtic-anotic!

Crazy people, however, are leaning toward the former, so the mutant bunny will probably be on the evening news tonight.
We know. We know! Cutesy internet baby animal bullshit is just the worst. Worse even than email signatures with inspirational quotes! What are we, your aunt? And yet we are helpless in the face of this baby penguin being tickled. You watch it, and tell us that you wouldn't have posted it, too.
Some dogs are dumb. Some dogs are smart. This little guy? Smart. Why? Because he manages to open his owner's refrigerator, crack the pizza box therein, and steal a little slice for himself. If only he closed the fridge, too!

It's probably every parent's worst fear. Here's adorable 18-month-old Ellie, repeating a not so adorable word. Kids say the darndest things!
Owls aren't exactly known for being playful, but this little guy takes it to a whole new level. Check it out as his owner—or handler? I don't know—attempts to stop him from staring. Key word: attempts. SRS OWL.
Denver is a dog who was accused of eating her feline friends' treats. Explains Denver's owner, "Denver scrunches up her mouth when she is in trouble or KNOWS she's done something wrong." If this video is any indication, Denver's guilty!
Just in case your Monday hasn't been cute—and subconsciously terrifying—enough, here's a minute and a half of a guy cuddling with his two pet cats. Oh, did I mention that the cats are lions? Because, yeah, they are.
I don't know, I feel like putting eyebrows on a dog may just be the next trend in dressing up dogs! I am not the biggest "dog person," but this is the cutest video I've seen in awhile.
Well, folks, the headline pretty much says it all... here's 78 seconds of a really, really, really sleepy cat begrudgingly being woken up by its owners (who want to assure you that it's not drugged—or dead!—just sleepy).
