Wow, 2025 came and went and brought us all kinds of wild and wonderful animal moments. From a super tall donkey rocking the world record scene to a panda duo stealing hearts at the zoo, this year's menagerie of news stories was packed. Let's check out some highlights that made the internet a little brighter.
Meet Derrick and Bambou, two donkeys from a UK sanctuary, who basically became celebrity donkeys because Derrick is the tallest donkey ever, and Bambou's ears are, well, legendary. Talk about donkey goals!
In case you missed it, 2025 was a big year for panda fans. The National Zoo in Washington rolled out Bao Lin and Qing Bao, two pandas with distinct styles - one playful, one chill - and a couple of tricks to tell them apart. Pandas may look similar, but these two are total individuals with birthmarks and attitude differences.
Here's how you spot Bao Lin and Qing Bao apart: Bao Lin's the big, outgoing guy, and Qing Bao rocks the fluffier cheeks and a cool birthmark. Plus, while Bao Lin loves to play, Qing Bao prefers hanging out solo up in a tree like a true panda boss.
Speaking of wild neighbors, a bear in Altadena, Los Angeles, decided to crash a house’s crawl space this year. Imagine the surprise! The guy who caught this on his security cam nearly got scared out of his shoes by the grizzly growling noise. Yikes!
According to the dude with the camera, the bear’s roar was like a lion with a hiss - basically the soundtrack of your nightmares. Still, everyone agreed to just keep indoor vibes and let the bear do its thing (from a distance, please).
On the sweeter side, the Emanuel family in Mississippi got their precious turtle, Myrtle, back after a tornado spelled temporary chaos. Thanks to some awesome neighbors and a turtle rescue center, happy endings do happen!
Over in California, an adorable baby otter nicknamed ‘Caterpillar’ had a mini adventure getting lost, only to be reunited with mom after some serious otter detective work. The reunion video? Pure adorable gold that’ll melt your heart faster than you can say "aww."
So... what was your fave animal vibe from 2025? A meme? A real-life story? Or maybe your pet’s new funny trick? Drop your cute tales in the comments! And if you’re hungry for more chaos, check out some wild pets making trouble and cats flopping with their irresistible bellies on full display.
