Frogs and Cranberries? It must be fall. Much like Mariah Carrey’s All I Want For Christmas is You on the Billboard Top 100 Chart, this meme comes crawling back to us seasonally, and we can’t get enough of it. But why? On a fundamental level, «Frogs and cranberries it must be fall» is just plain …

Animal Memes For Wilderness Explorers

If I’m being honest, Russell from Up (2009) deserved far more than just a wilderness explorer badge for his adventures with Carl. That child was a friend to the elderly and the animal kingdom more than most of us could dream of being. He had the explorer’s spirit, and he did something about it. He …

Animal Memes That Celebrate The Circle of Life

Lively Thread Describes Tense Face Off Between One Man And A Bird

When most of us think of unconventional home intruders, we’re more likely to recall the image of a flamboyant, striped-shirted cat burglar of The Sims than members of the animal kingdom. Wildlife doesn’t tend to have a taste for the great indoors, unless you’re dealing with something that is a case for pest control. That …

We Like Watching Birds

Few species in the animal kingdom give people as much everyday joy as birds do. Their capacity to inspire us knows no bounds, from their plumage to their song to their ability to fly. This gets repaid in feeders and birdbaths, and for the most hardcore enthusiasts, there’s even a hobby dedicated to observing them. …

Meanwhile In The UK: Seagull Shoplifts, Nobody Knows What To Do About It

Is there any bird out there that has the same cold-blooded criminal instinct as the seagull? Sure, magpies love taking shiny things and cuckoos get away with infanticide, but nothing can compare to the insult that is a gull stealing an ice cream clean out of your hand.  As a species, they definitely have made …
