Cleyed the kitten was not long for this world. His mother's uterus was twisted around three times, and he was born a cyclops, with just one big eye. But he made a huge impact on the people in the operating room for the few minutes he was alive on this earth.

When one thinks of a deer, one thinks of a gentle Bambi-like creature. However, adult male deers can be pretty rough customers. Especially during mating season, when they use their sharp horns to jostle over female deer companionship.

Here's a little something to brighten your day. A flock of ducks was rescued from a bird hoarder who had never taken them to water. This is video footage of their first collective swim. But first, a wacky bit of duck herding, which is always good for a laugh...

There’s a large chance we have just discovered the world’s cutest animal. Emma is a miniature donkey ... a miniature donkey with a pink prosthetic leg. D'awww!

There are many reasons why you shouldn't drive impaired. Especially because, in your altered state, you will make ridiculous excuses for your crime upon being confronted with it. You'll do something like blame it on circus animals.

Apparently, gettin' down and dirty with animals is now a thing? Remember that extra horny dolphin who tried to get some action from the scuba diver? It's the stuff of nightmares. Well folks, the roles have reversed, and mammal-loving horny people are making headlines! Actually, it's just one strange lady from Pinellas, Florida, but she’s weirded things up for the rest of us.

Breakfast, as they say, is the most important meal of the day. So why not start things off with a nice, healthy cat omelet? And look -- two of them have already climbed into a frying pan for you. We're kidding, of course. We don't condone eating cats. (Usually.)

As many an unlucky motorist knows, deers don't always have the proper respect for fast moving objects.

The North American black bear may have few natural predators in the wild, but when it comes to angry housewives, they know enough to run.

While 'Star Wars' is darn near perfect, we've always thought it could use more cats. Imagine our glee, then, when we discovered this video of a space-faring kitty meowing the theme from the 1977 classic film. It's the best of both worlds!

APEril is a six-month-old white handed gibbon ape. Up Chuck is a middle-aged cat. They both live at the Monkey Island Rescue animal sanctuary and, as you can see in this adorable video, they are playmates.

Spangles is a darn cute cat. He has a beautiful shade of gray fur, which makes him a stud in the feline world. But the fact that he has crossed eyes, well…that just instantly hooked us. We can’t help but hysterically laugh at the poor little guy’s expression, because no matter what, Spangles just looks silly.

Cat owners, call Professor X and ask him to let your feline friend join the X-Men because a recent study shows that some tabby cats are mutants.

Washington's National Zoo is in mourning for the tiny newborn cub of their panda bear Mei Xiang. Her baby was born a week earlier and was the center of attention, especially since pandas are notoriously difficult to breed in captivity. As of now, the death remains a mystery.

For all our fellow piggie fans out there, the ‘Baby Pigs Wearing People Clothes’ Tumblr combines the adorableness of piglets with the unquestionable cuteness of animals wearing clothes. They're wearing sweaters and gowns and boots and aaaaagh! Check out the most adorable piggies in people clothes for yourself!

We're glad this guy's instinct when he found a squirrel in his kitchen was to grab a camera and record it, rather than grab a broom and start screaming. The squirrel seems pretty panicked (what squirrel doesn't?), but maybe it was just gathering up speed for what might be the greatest escape in the history of animals trapped in kitchens...
