There’s almost no one alive who doesn’t like animals.
It’s 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. It’s no wonder we can’t get enough of them.
We’ve 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 haven’t had cats as long. Evidence suggests we began domesticating them close to 12,000 years ago. Regardless, it’s 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 let’s 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 can’t help it. Here are 75 of the best Snapchats of animals we’ve ever seen.
1. “Sleepy boye”
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.
His wife said this was the best day of his life. You’d think that would have been his wedding day. But the wedding day gets trumped by snuggling a sloth.
4. “The animal handlers at the Oregon Zoo took Elephant around to meet some other animals. The sea lions were her favorite.”
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 doesn’t mean he’s not still a cat. And like every feline, he lives by the mantra “If I fits, I sits.”
We’ve 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. “My sister’s goat had a baby today and the chickens came to say hello.”
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. “I saw a woman driving with a Falcon stuck in her grill today. I ran out on the street and flagged her down.”
In the most traumatic day of this hawk’s life, it got stuck in the grille of a car and wasn’t noticed until the driver was speeding down the highway. Concerned passersby helped rescue the trapped bird.
9. “My wife just shot this pic of a sleepy albino squirrel.”
You wouldn’t 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. “I walked in on my cats holding paws like this and looking at the birds together.”
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. “Recently every morning my father places bird food in the yard for my mother to wake up on this view.”
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. Let’s just say he wasn’t 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.
It’s rare to meet such a friendly little caterpillar. Not only is he perching on this person’s finger, but he looks absolutely thrilled to be there. We’re happy to meet you too, little guy.
16. Mrs. Meesqueaks likes to nibble my fingernails, but holds my fingers still to be sure she doesn’t hurt me. If I say ‘ouch’ she stops and licks the finger instead.”
Meet Mrs. Meesqueaks, the rat that likes to nibble on fingernails. But she’s considerate enough to stop if you say “ow.” In fact, she’ll even switch to licking.
17. “One of the alpacas on my school farm gave birth yesterday. Nugget the chicken is her godmother.”
This little alpaca was just born and his mom looks so proud. She’s posing happily beside her new baby and one of the well-wishers from the farm, Nugget the chicken.
18. “This duck thinks he’s a flamingo. ‘When in Rome. . .'”
When in Rome, do as the…flamingos do. This little duck is trying her hardest to be a part of the crowd. We’ve all been there before. This is too cute for words.
19. “There’s always a safer route, especially with two baby moose.”
Everybody needs to be safe while crossing the street, even if they’re a moose. This mother moose was doing a great job keeping her little ones away from cars. It was better for the drivers, too.
21. “A man with two dogs in his pockets, walking a duck wearing shoes.”
I bet you didn’t know you needed this today: a man walking a duck on a leash. Also, the duck is wearing special duck shoes. I’m not sure why, but that’s what’s happening.
22. “I went to the store to buy a fish . . . meet fish.”
Fish are pretty, but let’s be honest — they’re 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 pig’s world, with nothing to do but nap in the sun. I want that life.
25. “I should really start charging this guy rent.”

26. “My mom just sent me thi spicture of a squirrel sitting in a tiny chair in a tree eating a cob of corn.”
Squirrels are cute, but they’re even cuter when they have tiny squirrel furniture. For example, a minuscule chair they can lounge in while eating corn.
27. “My nephew found a sea shell with squid eggs inside.”
The things you can find in seashells are pretty amazing. This seashell is full of squid eggs. You can see their tiny little faces right through the membrane.
28. “This gorilla looks like he decided to have his undergraduate philosophy lecture outside since it’s a nice day.”
Remember the days in college when your professor took the class outside? This gorilla looks like he’s delivering a compelling lecture to a classroom of students. He’s the cool professor that lets you call him by his first name.
29. “My coworker took out the trash and found this . . . “
Finding one animal in a dumpster isn’t uncommon, but finding 15 is crazy. With this many raccoons enjoying a meal together, it must be raccoon Thanksgiving.
30. “Girlfirnd woke her ferret up by coming into the room loudly and was greeted with these absolute daggers.”
Animals aren’t very considerate when it comes to making noise while we’re trying to sleep. But when this ferret’s owner accidentally woke him up, he was less than pleased.
31. “My apartment pool was being put to good use.”
Ducks love swimming in lakes and ponds, but it’s 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, you’ll never be able to forget.
33. “Those are mind, look at the bag it says my name.”
I’ve 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. It’s not worth it. In all fairness, the real cheetah may have just been attracted to the cheetah image on the packaging.
I don’t 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.
37. “Today I took my 74-year-old best friend and her miniature Shetland pony to their first show and they got first place!”

38. “This little guy took refuge from the fireworks on the front porch.”
Fireworks are often stressful for dogs and cats, but they can be frightening for wild animals too. This little guy took shelter on someone’s front porch to get away from the noise.
39. “I can never get a nice picture of them all together.”
It can be so hard to get a good picture of a group of friends. There’s always that one friend who has to make a silly face when everyone else is doing their best to be serious.
It can be hard to keep track of small animals that wander freely around the house. Here’s a creative solution for making sure you never lose your pet turtle.
42. “Owls were born on my colleague’s windowsill a few weeks ago and I. Just. Can’t. Even.”
When a whole group of owls shows up at your office window, you might want to check your schedule. It would be embarrassing if you missed a critical appointment.
43. “My wife looves giraffes, so when we first started dating, I took her to her first close up experience with one.”
When you absolutely love giraffes, encountering one this close is heaven on earth. The look on this woman’s face says it all — she absolutely loves it.

45. “Heyyy why is there a hole in my flower garde . . . Oh!”
It’s always good to check around your lawn before you fire up the lawnmower — you might find a nest of baby bunnies. You wouldn’t want to harm them while doing yard work.
Sure, it’s hilarious to have a squirrel come up and help itself to your lunch. But it’s the expression of pure ecstasy that makes the photo hilarious. To be fair, that’s what I look like when I eat French fries.
47. “Cougar breaks into house and plays with blinds.”
If you own a cat, there’s a good chance they’ve destroyed your blinds before. Now imagine that a cougar gets into your house and the kind of damage it could do.
49. “I shouldn’t have fed that one duck yesterday.”
If you’ve ever wondered whether animals can communicate, try feeding just one of them. Then watch while they spread the word around the neighborhood and bring all their friends for snacks.
50. “My sister made a sweater for Spaghetti . . . I think he loves it.”
Snakes are cold-blooded, which means you have to take measures to keep them warm. One way to do that, apparently, is to knit them tiny fabulous sweaters so they can stay cozy while looking stylish.
I’ve never run into a rabbit at a library, but I think it would make my entire day. Is this rabbit the librarian? Does he live there? Where is this amazing library?
52. “And they say wind turbines are bad for local wildlife.”
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.
Perspective is a funny thing. The ledge of this building blends in with the color of the parking lot, making it look like these pigeons are walking around looking for a car.
55. “Angry Bird on the street in front of my house.”
It might not be knocking buildings down in the company of pigs, but this is an original Angry Bird. Who knew something so tiny could be filled with so much rage?
56. “Encountered a hairless guinea pig. Looks like a baby hippo.”
No, that’s not a tiny baby hippo — it’s a hairless guinea pig. We’re used to seeing these critters covered in long, shaggy hair. It’s pretty startling to see them naked.
59. “Someone that had the wrong number just sent me this picture, but it’s too good to ignore.”
This Snap might’ve gone to the wrong person, but it was the best coincidence ever. I wouldn’t even ask for context for the parrot and dog in the ocean.
60. “When your landlord is coming, and it’s ‘no pets allowed.'”
Bunnies are great at fitting into small spaces, which is fun for them — and stressful for their owners. Imagine tearing the house apart only to find this stinker in the closet.
61. “This dude on the train wouldn’t stop staring at me.”
Passengers on the train can get annoying, especially if they’re loud or making a scene, In comparison, this guy is a pleasant co-passenger — even if he does stare too much.
This baby hawk isn’t very intimidating, but he certainly thinks he is. It just goes to show that part of your image is how you perceive yourself. You go, baby hawk.
64. “Frog jumped as picture was taken making it look like it’s going into hyper space.”
This person was just trying to snap a picture of the cute frog they’d found when it suddenly took a flying leap from their hand. The result looks like the frog is activating warp speed.

Parrots are funny little animals — they have above-average intelligence and can even learn to speak human words. After this parrot was told he couldn’t chew on a phone case, he stalked into the corner to sulk and mutter.
71. “You’ve seen rabbit on a goat, now here are cats on sheep.”
Mutually beneficial relationships among animals are hilarious. Riding on the sheep, these cats warm their toes. And the sheep…actually, they just look adorable.
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 doesn’t fear anything.
For a raccoon, hitching a ride on a garbage truck might be the most brilliant plan of all time. This little guy is about to arrive in the Land of Plenty, full of enough food to last him the rest of his life.
To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve ever looked as cool as this long-haired guinea pig. He’s giving off a real John Lennon vibe with those round sunglasses. Can I have his autograph?
75. “I did a newborn photoshoot for my little rescue squirrel, Cardboard. I know I’m insane, but it turned out pretty cute.”
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.
