Cue the Dumbo Birds

“Well I’ll swear I’ve seen just about anything when I’ve seen a kitty kat fly!”

That’s right, these bizzare cats have sprouted wings. They may not actually be able to fly, but I say it’s only a matter of time.

Bear Retrieves Hubcap

I know you’ve been lacking some absolutely precious animal stories in your life lately, so here’s a great one. This black bear that resides in a safari park in the UK has been stealing people’s hubcaps for years. Then a woman enters the park missing all four of her hubcaps and the bear steals one from the car in front of her and drops it at her car window and knocks to let her know it’s there. What a sweetheart. A bear that shares and shows it cares. Lub. -Thanks Neatorama

Baboon Teaching Kitty to Sit

Neatorama posted this first, but it’s so cute I can’t pass it up. National Geographics archieve has this photo and story and it’s so cute and silly.

SITTING KITTY
A patient little cat endures lessons in baboonery. According to notes accompanying the photograph—which arrived at the Geographic in 1956 but was never published by the magazine—”Baboon mother tries to make Fluffy sit up like a good monkey baby. But the kitten always falls back on her four legs. It seems like such a hopeless case.” The baboon, named Helen, was an attraction at Ross Allen’s Reptile Institute, a roadside zoo funded in 1929 in Silver Springs, Florida. She may have been a holdover from the days when Tarzan movies were filmed in the region and Allen provided animal actors for visiting Hollywood productions. —Margaret G. Zackowitz

And tears welled up. If you haven’t seen the story of Christian the Lion, then watch and enjoy!
