Something about their tiny hands and love for life makes us smile and instantly want to show everyone around us our cute new find.

The monkey goes off to find a tasty snack but the brood isn’t letting him go too far away. 

The ducklings seem to think that the monkey is their new mommy. 

Wherever the monkey goes, the group follows closely behind. This is one adorable family. They just can’t get enough of each other. It’s officially snack time. The ducklings are eating some yummy rice while the monkey is getting in some of its daily nutrients from a prepared bottle. 

 Although the animals have varied diets, they still want to enjoy their meals together. 

This group is chowing down. They’ve built up quite the appetites after a day full of playing. We know the ducks can’t climb up trees, but we hope they aren’t too far away from their primate bestie.

 The monkey climbs back down the tree only to realize that his fuzzy friends are at the bottom waiting for him. See this heart-melting bunch having a heyday in the video below!

Well, that’s exactly the kind of encounter Norma Alvarez and dozens of other people experienced on a beach of Lake Tahoe in California. The beachgoers couldn’t believed their eyes, when spotted a mama bear and her two lovely cubs getting into the water to cool themselves, in the middle of the day. 

It was a hot summer day and the beach was full of people, when the unexpected visitors decided to have some splash time. Under the watch of all the people that gathered to witness the unusual scene, the bears just had some quality time. 

The little ones seemed so excited to play in the water and judging by the way they acted, that wasn’t the first time they experienced that sort of activity. 

Needless to mention, they weren’t bothered at all by all those curios onlookers who could’t stop recording the adorable scene that unfolded in front of them. Finally, after a couple of minutes of splashing, the mother bear took her two little offsprings out the water. 

It followed a short walk on the beach, just like nothing happened and no one was there, before getting back in the woods.

But things may change a little bit if you live a few steps away from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Kate Smith from Mesa, has recently shared an adorable snap on Twitter to show the world how her front porch looks like. 

The now viral photo shows a mother bobcat and her two cubs peacefully taking a nap on the woman’s property. 

Waking up with such a lovely sight can only be pleasing, but Kate says the uninvited guests are already there for nearly a month now and they don’t look like they are about to leave any time soon. “These guys have been here for a month,” Smith told to Daily Mesa News. “I was told that once the boys are old enough to hunt alone they should move on, but they have been here for a while.” 

 The woman initially called the Arizona Game and Fish Department and asked for help, but according the officials transporting bobcats can be pretty dangerous for the animals. So for the love she cares for wildlife, Kate eventually accepted her guests (no rent required). 

She can only hope that one day, the adorable cats will leave her porch. “The answer they gave me was that if you took them out of their territory, they usually don’t survive, so I said, ‘Oh, forget it,” the woman said. “I have a sign in the driveway for the delivery people to tell them not to come into our yard. All the neighbors and family know that they shouldn’t come to the front door. Our dog is grounded at this point.” 

 Although they share the same porch, the wildlife officials warned Kate to not get to close to the bobcats as they may get uncomfortable and that could make them aggressive. 

“Everyone says, ‘Oh my god, give them water,’ but deer and fish told me not to give them water because they didn’t want them to be comfortable,” Kate said.

 The foxes were rescued in China by animal activist Bohe, as identified by Karen Gifford, an animal rescuer who helps raise awareness and support Bohe in her efforts saving dogs from dog meat farms in the country. 

 The farmed foxes are domestically bred, “born in the spring and skinned in the winter” Gifford revealed on Facebook. “It’s horrifying for sure.” As the animals are not wild they cannot be set loose in the wild. Instead, the foxes will be given a sanctuary to live out the rest of their days. 

 Gifford revealed the foxes were rescued after Bohe and her supporters learned that the fox farmers were closing their business because they weren’t making enough money. The 174 foxes were loaded onto trucks and transported to the Buddhist Jilin Nursing Garden in Mudanjiang, China. Once they arrived at the garden, they were set free. Source
