I tried to look up more information on the beautiful cocoon from the first link but googling "cynamoth" tells me it's some sort of creature from a game called Loomian Legacy? (And then I googled "Loomian Legacy" only to be told it's "a series of Roblox games" and then I had to google "Roblox" and halp.)

ANYWAYS I want to be part of whatever's going down here.

Are any of the animals pooping?

Looking for a heads up before I click, source and all...

Windopaene: one of the comedy photos does show urination, but I didn't notice any pooping. Many of these will make excellent memes.

I want to know what happened a nano-second after this one was taken.

"Baby primate relaxing" has just surpassed"monkey hugging pigeon" as the cutest thing I've ever seen (waving bug is pretty spiffy, too, though)

This is like one of those photos where a full moon or sunset is dunked into a basketball hoop or a nice cocktail glass.
