Animals, Funny
Interview
ADVERTIsem*nT
Animal memes combine two of the strongest internet powers—cuteness and humor. This combination is simply impossible to resist. You might be at work trying to manage a looming deadline but there’s an urge in you not to pass on an opportunity to have a giggle while looking at adorable pictures. “Just a couple,” you say to yourself as you dive into the delightful collection. Well, the good news is that science says you are making the right choice.
Cute, big-eyed creatures appeal to the caring part of the brain. It makes us want to nurture and protect, which, in turn, makes us more focused and alert. So, not to jump to conclusions, but yes, looking at animal memes will make you better at your job. In other words, the Instagram page animals_comedyy that compiled the gems you’ll find below is doing God’s work.
Now, stop feeling guilty and dive into this giggle-inducing collection of cuteness.

I got bitten on the bum once by a white-tail. A week later, the wound was the size of a tennis ball and I couldn’t sit down. Pity I was on a road trip across the country (I.e. 12 days driving). But thank goddess it was on my bum, if it was on a less fleshy part it can lead to amputation.

If looking at animal pictures is not enough to soothe your soul, maybe you should consider getting a pet.Studiesshow that pets can increase dopamine and serotonin levels in our bodies. Furthermore, when dogs and humans interact, both of them get a boost of the feel-good hormone oxytocin. So far, there’s also minimal but increasing evidence that pets can benefit our physical health, too. Simply stroking a pet or watching fish swim in an aquarium, can help us relax and lower our heart rate and blood pressure. Animal presence seems to be so effective that pet owners are less prone to heart attacks and more likely to survive one if it happens.

In addition to health factors, pets can also help when it comes to socializing.Researchsuggests that having an animal companion can lead to more social interactions. This is especially notable when it comes to dog owners. Pets help their humans bond in a way that creates friendships that go beyond superficial hellos at a dog park and offer tangible support. The list of advantages seems to extend even further as these findings make the researchers believe that pets are beneficial to communities. People connecting over their shared love for their four-legged friends might help create healthier neighborhoods.

However, you don’t need to own a pet to enjoy the benefits of animal interaction. Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) can be a viable option for people who cannot afford a pet in terms of time, room, and energy. This type of pet visitation is not limited to cats and dogs either, with horses, llamas, and rabbits being some of the other fun options.

Again, the outcomes of AAA seem to be quite positive. Various hospitalized psychiatric patientsshow reduced fearand anxiety as well as more pro-social behaviors after participating in AAA. In particular, schizophrenic patients that engage in animal assisted activities show improvements in social functioning. Older patients that suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s also show notable improvements in their behavior.

While research in the field is still minimal and lacking this doesn’t mean that helping individuals heal through animals is a completely new idea,people have noticedthe positive impacts an animal’s presence has on a human as early as the late eighteenth century. And while empirical data doesn’t always support it, one cannot deny the feeling you get when a cat decides to sit in your lap. ADVERTIsem*nT

To put it all in a less meandering way, animals are good for you. So, pet a dog when you have a chance, look at the birds outside, or go admire fishes in a pond. And feel free to bookmark and come back to this animal meme list whenever you need a breather.

The wolves helped with pest control, and hunting. Bears would need to eat far more meat to be tamed, leaving less for human settlements. So really, wolves were more convenient, and approached humans more frequently.
