The Daily Treat: Gorilla Photobombs Kids at Australia Zoo

Originally posted 04/11/2013 12:25PM

Say cheese – or bananas?

A pair of sisters visiting a Melbourne, Australia, zoo left with the ultimate souvenir: a one-of-a-kind snapshot with a very photogenic gorilla.

Standing behind the enclosure's glass, Motaba, a 29-year-old resident of the Werribee Open Range Zoo, photobombs 6-year-old Ella O'Brien and 4-year-old Bridget in a picture that could put a camera-ready stingray to shame.

PEOPLE Pets Tries to Make Grumpy Cat Smile

Originally posted 03/27/2013 02:15PM

Grumpy Cat's off-put expression is known far and wide – even The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder is a fan – but owner Tabatha Bundesen says the cat is quite the opposite in person.

"She's a normal cat. She's really sweet," Bundesen tells PEOPLE. "She sleeps like 18 hours a day."

Real name Tardar Sauce, Grumpy Cat became a phenomenon when Bundesen's brother Bryan posted a photo of her on Reddit.

Meet the Biggest Star in Music Right Now: A Goat!

Originally posted 02/27/2013 11:15AM



The biggest duet partner for music's biggest stars right now? A goat.

We're not kidding.

If your coworker bleating with joy, he or she has probably stumbled upon a new meme, which mashes up pop hits with an old clip of a goat screaming as if it were a human. (Some might argue that the goat improves the songs, but we'll leave that discussion to the comments section.) So far, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble," Justin Bieber's "Baby" and Katy Perry's "Firework" have all gotten the wooly treatment.

Put on your headphones (our goat pal is loud), throw your hooves in the air, and wave them like you just don't care to some of our favorites – before this goat gets a record deal!

Stingray Photobomb: See the Before and After

Stingray Photobomb: See the Before and After

Originally posted 10/03/2012 11:20AM

It started innocently enough, but it usually does.

Sorority sisters Sarah Bourland, Natalie Zaysoff and Kendall Harlan were on a spring break cruise in their sophomore year at Texas Christian University in 2008 when they stopped at the Stingray Island attraction in the Cayman Islands.

A souvenir photographer stopped the group to take their picture with one of the stingrays, and the women smiled as the animal floated nearby. As they started to move away, a tour guide suddenly threw the stingray up into the air, and as it landed with a thud on their backs, Bourland, Zaysoff and Harlan grimaced – and the photographer pushed down on the shutter just in time to capture their expressions.

"We had no idea that was happening," Harlan tells PEOPLE. "Those are genuinely frightened faces."

PHOTO BOMB! Stingray Crashes Vacation Picture

Photobomb! Stingray Just Wants to Be in Your Vacation Album, Ladies

Originally posted 09/28/2012 09:35AM

Maybe they went on vacation to soak up some rays.

In that case, these three ladies got their money's worth.

In a photo posted Wednesday that has since gone viral on Reddit, a stingray steals the spotlight (with the apparent help of one strong man holding him up). We're guessing they didn't need to purchase a postcard after this extra-special (but perhaps a little reluctant) close encounter.

No two ways about it: Spangles the cat is cross-eyed.

A lot of eyeballs are getting entertained by the quirky 3-year-old's Facebook page, especially his modeling portfolio, which includes shots of him dressed as a reindeer, unicorn and pirate.

His anonymous owner says the feline – who was born with one cross-eye and has perfect vision – adores mugging for the camera.

Dogshaming! Why the Viral Blog's Founder Is Outing Your Pet

Dogshaming Blog Founder Tells All

Originally posted 08/27/2012 09:00AM

Pascale Lemire was sitting in bed with her fiancé Mike LeBlanc last week when she heard what sounded like chewing. Her dachshund Beau was under the bed, apparently snacking.

His chow of choice: LeBlanc's grey Hanes boxers.

This was all rather funny (and rather worrisome, too, although the pup didn't get sick). So they snapped a shot of their dog with a piece of paper that read, all-caps, "I am an underwear eating jerk!" Lemire posted it to her personal Tumblr, and what began as a joke spun into an online sensation comically calling out canines around the world for their most indecent (and repeated) indiscretions.

Since its inception a week ago by Tumblr editorial director Chris Mohney – who has since passed the blog over to original poster Lemire – Dogshaming has gone viral as a platform for dog owners to spill their canine companions' dirtiest little secrets. When Rover wakes you up in the middle of the night, for instance, you write down the deed and take a photo (erm, mug shot) of the offender with the confession.
