Sometimes? I'm pretty sure monkeys are always jerks, and any non-jerkish behavior you see is a ruse to lull you into a false sense of security before they steal your wallet.

This is a story about extremely religious parents and their gay son. It's touching but also quite sad, so be warned.

I find what they're doing now incredible, showcasing their own mistakes to send a message.

Thanks for that :kimchi:

When I was a kid my dad built a couple hand-peddled trikes like that lady uses for a couple kids who had mobility issues. I wish I had pictures of it, but it was really neat watching these little kids who just wanted to go biking with their friends finally be able to do it. I'd totally forgotten about them until I saw this video.

D'awww :3: watching videos like this, I'd love to see follow-ups to them...I wonder if any of those rescued animals would recognize the people that cared for them, if the caregiver went into their habitat. I hear a bit about people rescuing squirrels or other animals (even that old video with the couple that raised a lion cub and it recognized them when they went into its territory) and those animals sort of "remembering" the people and place where they were nursed, it'd be neat to see if it happened with all animals.

The full documentary is great too, but it's a little sad. Spoilered for sadness in the Feel Good Thread: Christian's adult male lion buddy is injured in a fight with wild lions and becomes really short tempered, which lead to him being shot to death while fatally attacking one of his keepers :smith:

Here's the full length documentary.

OMG this looks just like when a baby wants you to answer their toy phone! The little monkey just likes the way the crushing sounds!

My daughter Eowyn will be a year old in August, and her best friend in the world is our kitty Nightstar, who is about the same age as her. Nightstar comes running for her as soon as she wakes up and spends all day in the den getting pets and letting Eowyn chase her. Eowyn has learned to call her by going "KeeKeeKee" and wiggling her fingers into her palm (like an upside down "bye bye")

The man lion hugs is what gets me every. loving. Time. It's a frigging lion hugging you, guys! I remember when this video got viral, they found the two guys, now in Australia, to interview them. Needless to say this all came very unexpectedly to them after so many years, but they did look proud, they sure did. :)

Will do, have one right there! I'm still looking at stuff dating back to like 2011 so there's not like to be too much recent overlap. Reading these threads is great for killing time at work overnight, and I always feel so warm and fuzzy after. :3:

I keep hoping to find some vintage capys but it seems like the cute/adorable/uplifting fondness for them is more recent than where I'm at.

Nala is the weirdest and sweetest cat I've ever had. She will stop midstep and flop over as if she was shot and loves to rub her face on mine.
