[onescreen item="5076235"] Cats have many enemies—dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.

Daily Distraction — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:32 +0000

[onescreen item="5073247"] While we can’t know for sure whether dogs really dream—we’ve asked ours a hundred times, can’t get a clear answer—it’s hard to reach any other conclusion after watching these pooches. There’s the barking, the mumbling and, of course, the lying-on-their-side running which, in at least one case, leads to the dog actually getting [...]

[onescreen item="5071968"] It can be hard to get an accurate idea of just how big, say, a giraffe actually is. Then one sticks its head in through your car window and you have a very, very clear idea. Giraffe heads are HUGE. Like, take-up-the-entire-front-seat huge. As are camel heads. In fact, if you happen to find [...]

Daily Distraction — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:00:16 +0000

[onescreen item="5069256"] Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars. We must’ve seen about a hundred of these cats-in-jars videos, and it often looks like the cat in question might finally have gone too far. Maybe he just forgot that [...]

Watch These Fish Jumping Onto Boats — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 06 May 2013 08:00:54 +0000

[onescreen item="5068799"] You would think that a fish would prefer to stay in the water. But sometimes a fish will, for whatever reason, decide it’s time to go airborne. And sometimes they land in boats. Probably not the best outcome for the fish, but hey, it’s fun to watch. The Daily Distraction is your Internet break [...]

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs.

And [...]

Daily Distraction — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5063815"] Learning to ride a bike is a challenge every kid must overcome at some point. But at least that bike was designed for a human being. Imagine if that bike had been designed for a bear, or a dog, or a monkey—how much harder would it be then? Think about that as you [...]
