That’s on top of the fact that we, humans, connect with animals because we identify with their perceived characteristics. “The wise owl, the worker bee, the lazy sloth, the protective mama bear, the sneaky rat, and the mischievous raccoon,” WCN notes.
There are also plenty of similarities between animals and us when it comes to emotional expressions. “That feeling when your hair stands on end when something creepy or threatening is around the corner? That’s a physical fear response also exhibited by dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, lions, hyenas, antelopes, bats, and rodents.”
‘Animals Doing Things’ is one of the most well-known animal and humor-related social media projects out there online. Its curators explain that they serve up some of “the most hysterical and culturally-relevant animal content on the internet.”
Their wholesome and humorous content has seen massive success online over the past decade.
At the time of writing, the ‘Animals Doing Things’ Instagram account boasts 5.6 million followers—a mind-melting number. Moreover, another 2.1 million internet users follow the project’s Facebook page.
The project’s curators joke that their page is rated the best “by every single animal.” And though we can’t read the minds of animals (or anyone’s mind, to be fair), it’s fair to say that the project has won over millions of people’s hearts with its approach to adorable viral content.
