Big, Fashionable, and Foxy – Animals That Have It All

Animals are so lucky because they can just be themselves and automatically be awesome. Humans, however, have to work so hard to keep up appearances to look cool.

No matter how much we exercise, primp, surgerize, and ham it up, we can’t one-up the cuteness of a 50 lb. rabbit named Darius. By the way, according to his owner, Darius “is not fat. He’s just enormous.” Wouldn’t that be great if we could go around saying that about overweight people? Make ‘em feel better.

Speaking of unusual size, next up is a 100 lb. rodent aptly named Caplin Rous (a nod to the movie The Princess Bride). Caplin lives near Austin, Texas, and there’s actually a breeder that can hook you up with these guinea pig-like creatures. The official name for these real-life Zhu Zhu pets is “capybara.” But if you see one in person, you’d just call it a big-ass mouse.

The winning animal on my Cute List and also in the Funny Name category is the Blue Footed Booby.

This little guy is just rockin’ those blue shoes! So damn adorable (and fashionable).

But a close runner-up is the Okapi. Mr. Zebra called and he wants his pants back.

We can really learn alot from animals, such as relaxing, accepting our own quirkiness (and those of others) and just being ourselves.

Which animals do you think look cool, act cool, or are just funky in general?
