One thing social media is especially good at is making us aware of all the cute, beautiful, and occasionally scary things animals do. And whether the holidays are, for you, a joyful time to relax and celebrate or a lonely and alienating time, animal videos are a lovely way to spend your time.
Social media is not as good at ensuring that the things we see are actually new, so maybe you saw some of these in a previous year. But I saw them this year, and they’re worth watching no matter what, unless you are a soulless monster.
