Valentine’s Day may be over, but it’s never too late to enjoy absolutely precious pictures of animals kissing and enjoying their love for one another.
Time for another absolutely adorable video.
Pun Racoon Is Hilariously Lame
Geekosystem has a funny collection of terrible jokes from Pun Racoon, the hip new kid in the meme universe. Be prepared for lots of eye rolling.
There are a ton of these on YouTube and they’re all equally hilarious.
Thank you Ever So Strange for teaching me something fascinating, yet again.
And what better way to celebrate than with two animals kissing. Of course, if you like this one, be sure to check out our kissing animals photo and contest. And, if you love red pandas, then don’t miss this great Mental Floss article.
Ever So Strange
For those readers who love the animal kingdom, but prefer to hear about its oddities over its deadliness, may I suggest Ever So Strange, a brilliant animal blog that specializes in the weirdest natural occurrences on earth.
Not only is the content great, but the writing is delightful. Just check out this excerpt on the sex life of the leopard slug:
They slide down their mucus string, and in mid air each with its enormous penis unsheathed from their head, their kilt-tilters tangle and wind around one another, much in the same way as the slugs themselves. The penises fan out into a rather smashing flower-like structure and they can at this stage exchange sperm. Sometimes the penises will become so entangled that apophallation is the only way to go… one will chew off the others penis. The de-tallywhackered slug will still be able to mate, just only as a lady. Usually, and indeed thankfully, it doesn’t always have to come to this.
These absolutely precious animals certainly know how to keep things romantic. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we want to see your cutest critter kisses. So we’ve partnered up with the tee-shirt company 604Republic to reward you for showing off your romantic side.
UPDATE: Because we weren’t getting enough entries, we’ve changed the rules of the contest. To enter, just start following 604Republic on Twitter or like their Facebook page, then leave a message on their Facebook page or compose any tweet with the hashtag #kissingcritters. That’s it and good luck.
One person from each service will be chosen at random on Saturday the 19th to win a free tee-shirt of his or her choice from 604Republic –a great gift for your special someone, or a nice way to treat yourself. Winners (and their picture submissions) will be posted here after the contest is over.
Now on with our cute animal pictures:

The Deadly Kingdom
Regular readers know I am a big fan of animals, which is why I love Deadly Kingdom, a blog all about the darker side of the animal world. It includes stories of animal attacks and information on especially deadly animals. The site’s author has even published a book by the same name, so you know he’s knowledgeable about this topic.
