For #16 I have that exact combination of colors and I used it to crochet a sweater/scarf combination for my stuffed panda. This is very gratifying, thank you!

I love the penguin sweater with the Penguin books logo on it.
Why do baby goats look so incredibly cute in sweaters?

Also, spineless hedgehog=nightmare fuel, even with a sweater on.

For anyone else who was wondering, this appears to mean "hedgehog without quills", not "hedgehog who is an invertebrate" because I googled eagerly hoping for some sort of hedgehog amoeba and was deeply disappointed.

The ferrets (#36) look like the Omegas from Animal House.
Also: +1, would squee again.

The corgi in the brown sweater did it for me- I think it's something about collars on clothes on animals that are especially useless and silly.

Can't believe they missed putting the tortoises in turtlenecks.

Besides being cute, what purpose does putting a sweater on a cold-blooded reptile, serve?

Between the election threads and goings-on at home, I really needed some joy. Thank you!

I totally thought #3 was a bird at first before reading the caption! That illusion can happen in real life!

Some snakes might like being warmer than human room temperature, and despite the poikilothermy, their cellular respiration technically produces some heat, which a sweater might trap. They just don't spend energy on maintaining body temperature. /animalscience
Mostly just cute though.

This is how it begins. Look at us in our sweaters. We are so small and nice. Next thing you know you are cornered in your kitchen by a wildebeest who's outgrown that cardigan you knitted and wants to discuss it.

My daughters show these things to me. I crochet, but I just don't think I'm up to making a lab-sized Pokemon sweater for his walkabouts / Pokemon Go excursions.
Now hats, that I could do.

Back story on #31, the kitten in a sweater made from a sock who was rescued during hurricane Matthew.

Snakes! In SWEATERS!
Brilliant.
I think it's something about collars on clothes on animals that are especially useless and silly.
Snakes! In SWEATERS. Sweaters with ARMS!!!!
