Mother’s Day is this Sunday (don’t forget to call your mom, yo) and to celebrate this lovely holiday, let’s watch some videos of animal moms hanging out with their offspring. First up, a gorilla family!

This CBS news report is loaded with strange animal families — you got your typical “dog raises cats,” but how [...]

I mean really, these next few videos will leave you feeling good regardless of your position on the cat-dog debate. Lets get right to it, shall we?

Not as good-natured, but this dog steals a blanket from a cat.

This puppy really likes nibbling at the cat’s ears.

Okay, this has nothing to do with anything, but [...]

In this installment of “meet a cute animal you didn’t know existed,” we say salutations to the caviidae, better known by the shorter name cavy. What does a cavy look like, you ask? Like this!

OK, I’m cheating a little bit, as the all-knowing Wikipedia [...]

I have no midterms, no papers and no pressing assignments. And yet, I’m completely exhausted and just want to pass out tonight. I’m drawing inspiration from this hamster, who just snoozes off. Oh, how I could be like you, hamster…

YouTube has given us plenty of great cute animal-themed songs, from the “Nom Nom Nom Song” to the eternal “Hamster On A Piano Eating Popcorn.” Both of these songs are done by Internet composer Parry Gripp, who also does my personal favorite animal song, “Fuzzy Fuzzy Cute Cute.” Never heard it before? [...]

Bird skateboarding is apparently a very active sub-culture. There is an entire blog devoted to it (every post is worth your time). There are lots of awesome photos. And the videos… the videos are all over YouTube. Just watch this.

This video is slightly longer, [...]

The first round of the NBA Playoffs is almost over, and you know what that means … only another month and a half before we have a basketball champion! We better savor basketball while we can, starting with this video of otters in South Korea playing basketball. There are a few slight rule [...]

My favorite animal finds on YouTube always end up being the profiles devoted to an entire animal. Tonight, I found one such page, in this case devoted to a squirrel apparently in (where else?) Japan. So, Cute Animal Blog readers, meet Hyoutasennsei the rock squirrel. This guy has 73 videos on YouTube, [...]

Last time we checked in on this Japanese cat, he was wandering around with a box on his head. A month later, the little guy has moved on to much bigger things …specifically a bigger box. In my humble opinion, this video blows the other one away and I loved the last one.

Not [...]

By now, you’ve probably seen the minor Internet video hit that is a slow loris (I was originally told it was a lemur, but Google disagrees) being tickled. This isn’t anywhere near the popularity of, say, “Otters Holding Hands,” but it’s making the viral rounds. If you haven’t seen it, check it out [...]

I’m struggling to come up with a good introduction for this skunk-themed post — I’ve already tackled the classic “skunks are pretty cool” angle, and the only real way to approach this would be “LOL they smell.” So … yeah, cute skunks. And it’s going to be super warm this weekend wooooo! [...]

The headline says it all.

It seems far too early in the quarter for midterms. But I have one tomorrow, and I’m sure they are about to spring up for even more people in the next week. Great times to be a student. Since these checks and balances facts aren’t going to learn themselves, tonight’s post is [...]

Tomorrow isn’t just another boring Tuesday – it’s also Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. All you have to do is show up and you get a free cone of delicious ice cream (and make a small donation, if you have any sort of [...]

Though I love most modern technology (check out our Twitter, by the way), I still get terrified at the thought of some techno-innovations, like robots and Bluetooth headsets. So when North By Northwesterner John Meguerian sent me a link to this story about robot penguins, I became slightly creeped out. Watch a video [...]
