If you think us humans are creative beings when it comes to finding different or unconventional ways to fulfill our everyday needs, then you’ve never seen a kitten trying to keep warm and it’s not just the usual getting under your car to take advantage of the engine’s hotness it’s a lot more because, let’s face it, cats love warmth more than anything.

Either radiators, laptops, even your oven! Can’t find your kitten? Search in those places, they’re probably just enjoying a lovely warm afternoon in there and here are 25 pictures to prove it.

In March 2012, Lawrence Anthony, a conservationist and author known as "The Elephant Whisperer", passed away. His family spoke of a solemn procession of elephants that defies human explanation.

For 12 hours, two herds of wild South African elephants slowly made their way through the Zululand bush until they reached the house of Lawrence Anthony. The formerly violent, rogue elephants, destined to be shot a few years ago as pests, were rescued and rehabilitated by Lawrence.

They stood around the house in an apparent vigil for two days, and then dispersed.

"They had not visited the house for a year and a half and it must have taken them about 12 hours to make the journey," Lawrence's son Dylan said. "The first herd arrived on Sunday and the second herd, a day later. They all hung around for about two days before making their way back into the bush."



But how did the elephants know Lawrence had died?

"A good man died suddenly," says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., "and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost 'funereal' procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man's home."

"If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous interconnectedness of all beings, it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A man's heart's stops, and hundreds of elephants' hearts are grieving. This man's oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered healing to these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend."

Some of them almost look like beautiful paintings, but they are all photos taken by Sasi Smith, a Thai photographer who wanted to capture the wonder of owls on film.

In her stunning photographs, Smith manages to capture so many different aspects of owls. She gives them personalities and families.

Her photos can transfer us to a magic world, where owls are kings and queens, adventurers, and more.

The paint-like quality of these pictures cannot be overstated.

Sani Smith clearly has some serious skill when it comes to photography, and she’s putting it to amazingly good use in this photo series.

Some of her pictures capture the hunter nature of owls, like this one, a stunning shot of an owl on a post, its wings spread out behind it and a mouse dangling from its mouth.

A few of these pictures are so brilliant in their detail that they’re creepy.

In this photos Sasi Smith really manages to humanize these creatures, who have always seemed kind of mystical and beyond understanding (so much so that they even got to become part of the magical world in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series).

My favorites of these pictures are the ones where we get to see the owls all cozily snuggled up together.

It sends a powerful and really important message: Animals are just like us.

They have families and love and everything that humans have, and they deserve to be protected as well.
