The Petting Zoo: The Week’s Top 10 Animal Videos

What are you getting your pet for Christmas? I know I'm jumping the gun here and when the end of December rolls around I'm going to be kicking myself that I already blew the "what are you getting your pet for Christmas" topic, but what else am I supposed to talk about at the end of November? "Did you pet grow a mustache for mo'vember, and is he or she going to shave it off now?" "Did your pet enjoy Thanksgiving? Did you make him or her his or her own Thanksgiving dinner and what was in it?" "Is your pet allergic to pine trees?" I DON'T KNOW! What I do know is that we have a bunch of wonderful animal videos and one truly kind of horrifying one coming your way and I know you're going to enjoy them, so let's just skip all this talk and ROLL THE VIDS!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not often that the best animal video of the week is the most horrifying, but things happen, and this week this one happened to be the one I sent to the most people on gchat, so here we are. I am so sorry. Life is beautiful. Everything else is just normal cute, but I do want you to meditate on that kangaroo for a bit longer. What if humans had pouches that hung off of their bodies? How many things could they fit in there? What if they forgot something in there for a while?
