[onescreen item="5073572"] Sure, being a baby duck means that you’re undeniably adorable, but that doesn’t make life any easier. You’re expected to do lots of things that most species can’t accomplish when they’re just a few days old. For example, when we adult humans encounter a curb, it isn’t too intimidating.

Horses are funny creatures. Tthey’re totally into Skrillex hair and crazy hats. And don't even get us started on Mr. Ed. Even without talking, horses still crack us up, which is good, because horses can't actually talk. They can wear a ridiculous horse grin though.

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.

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 [...]

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. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing.
