Nancy Einhart — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:45:46 PST

Kristen Bell really, really loves sloths.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you might just want a sloth of your own.

S.W.A.K.: Seals Want a Kiss

Sara Yoo — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:00:00 PST

2012 got off to a rocky start for about 60 seals, battered by storms in the U.K. After enduring rough weather, in which winds reached up to 100 miles per hour, these pups were rescued by the Royal Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for some R&R before they are released back into the wild this Spring. Despite the recent trauma, these grey seals still have a smooch or two for the camera, and we're happy to take in the cuteness!

Polar Bear Siku Guzzles Milk and Melts Hearts

Sara Yoo — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:00:00 PST

The loss of Knut the polar bear last year left a trail of broken hearts among animal lovers worldwide. Thankfully, the good people at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark have brought us Siku, and our hearts are once again replete. At just 49 days old, the orphaned baby polar is already an Internet sensation, simply for sucking on a bottle and passing out in a food coma. But so long as this little guy is willing to feast and snooze for us, we won't complain!

And be sure to check out oodles of Siku's adorable studio head shots below!

A Golden Jam Session

This retriever enjoys a good guitar riff, cracking a canine smile, and bobbing his head with the beat. But when the music stops, so does his golden groove!

Arp! Who Goes There?

Iceland is home to a variety of animals that you don't see every day: puffins, reindeer, tiny horses, and seals. If you ever make it to breathtakingly beautiful Jökulsárlón, the island's largest glacial lagoon, head to the southern side of the water. There, a colony of a few dozen seals will inquisitively observe your every move. These guys (and ladies) came within 15 feet of the shore, only to dive underwater as soon as they knew I was on to them. Aside from the occasional sound of ice breaking apart, it was just me and the barking seals - a total one-with-nature morning. Check them out to see why I'm still laughing over their little faces.

Bundle Up! Eight Dogs Wearing Puffy Coats

Sara Yoo — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:00:00 PST

As temperatures continue to drop, all we humans want to do is burrow under blankets and swathe ourselves in down and (faux) fur. These dogs have the right idea, and even though they'd hate to face the embarrassment of being spotted by their wild lupine brethren, I'm sure they are chuckling to themselves at their own cold weather brilliance.

Sara Yoo — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 04:00:00 PST

This year saw celebri-dog Boo continue his campaign for world cute-tification: he's an Internet sensation with more than 2.5 million Facebook fans, the subject of an Amazon best-selling book, and a calendar pinup model. Clearly, he's a pup of many (adorable) faces, so as the year draws to a close, we thought we would take a look back at his most memorable moments of cuteness.

Pampered Pup Loves Bath Time

Casper's not sure what you're looking at. Don't all dogs have a personal massage therapist on call at bath time? You can stay and watch, but please don't make too much noise. You might disrupt his inner meditation.

This Pup's Got a Ticket to Ride

We're not sure if this pooch's name is Daisy, but he'd sure look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. Unfortunately for him, this bike is uncomfortably built for one.
