In an effort to prove that “everything is better with cute animals,” travel search site Hipmunk has created a video of humans reenacting some of the cutest viral videos starring animals. Humans reenact Dramatic Chipmunk, Maru Loves Boxes, Keyboard Cat, Surprised Kitty, Cat Mom Hugs Baby Kitten, and Sneezing Baby Panda and indeed, these remakes are anything but adorable.
Left to my own devices, I could stand around and watch a variety of animals just wandering around all day and enjoy it. Included in my long list of animals I enjoy watching are penguins. Who doesn’t enjoy watching penguins? You can stop reading right now and move on to the next Social Times blog item if you do not because this is all about watching penguins.
The California Academy of Sciences (in San Francisco) released a free app for the iPhone (it works on the iPad too but needs the 2x option to fill the display) that lets you watch real-time video from the academy’s African penguin exhibit.
Tap the camera icon at the top left of the screen to see the three camera viewing options: Main, Underwater, Biologist. The first screenshot here is the Main view. The second screenshot below is the Biologist view and is a camera pointed from the other side of the enclosure. The third and final screenshot here shows the Underwater view. I never saw any penguins in the water. But, that is just a matter of viewing at the right time.
With 152 people providing ratings, the app has a solid and impressive 5-star average customer rating. As one customer wrote in the app’s review section: “Strangely soothing.”
As you might guess, the main purpose of the app is to encourage people to donate to the academy via SMS or to purchase tickets. Having made several visits to their facilities over the years, I can say it is well worth the effort.
This week we bring you an adorable selection of videos featuring a doggie escape, a cutie patootie baby, a cat and puppy in love, and more. Prepare yourself for cute overload, and check out all the videos after the jump.
A new video of a seagull stealing a GoPro camera in Cannes, France has taken the web by storm this week, raking in nearly 1 million views in a few short days. While it has not yet been confirmed as to whether this is a hoax—a viral campaign for GoPro—we can certainly confirm that GoPro is the camera of choice for animals the world over.
Coming off the heels of a Roomba-riding baby clip that went viral last week, we decided to put together a list of 10 of the best Roomba videos on YouTube. From cats to babies, and even a bearded dragon lizard, these are some of the best Roomba drivers around!
From cats and dolphins to humans and geese, in this week’s edition of the Weekly Dose Of Cute we bring you six adorable pairings that you just have to see to believe.
It’s unsure whether or not the Cincinnati Zoo knew what they were getting into when they made an announcement welcoming a new member to the family, and that they were looking for suggestions via Facebook. A four-day window has opened up in the virtual world that will allow whomever to offer name suggestions, as often and as esoteric as they want.
There’s no better way to start off your week with a smile than by watching some cute videos and, as usual, we’ve got you covered in that department with our Weekly Dose of Cute.
