LOLguinea pig and a cucumber

It seems that my LOLguinea pigs have been really popular, so I've decided to post more. This is based on the picture of the walrus with his bucket that's being stolen by a zookeeper. He isn't quite a LOLcat but he's hilarious all the same. This guinea pig image was taken from www.scx.hu, so it's free for use. This type of guinea pig is called Himalayan, by the way. They're like Siamese cats!

LOLguinea pigs

You've heard of , yes? If you spend enough time on the net and read random blogs like this one, you probably have. In case you haven't, a LOLcat is a picture of a cat, often taken in a sort of amateurish fashion, as if it is someone's pet (which it often is!), with a caption. The caption is always written with either in bad grammar and mispelling or a pretentious abundance of big words. It is often in a large white or black font, usually Impact, and is typed on all of the picture space not relevant to the cat. The caption might also include leetspeak and almost always includes chatspeak. LOLcats are sometimes called cat macros. The most famous LOLcat website is I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?, which contains thousands of LOLcat pictures. It also has an program on-site so you can make your own pictures.

That's not what I was going to talk about though. Now you know what a LOLcat is. There are also such things as... guinea pig macros! If you know me, you know that I like guinea pigs far more than I like cats. It is true that I am allergic to them, but then, cats are the ones that can bring on the asthma. Guinea pigs also lack sharp claws and exhibit puppy-like behavior, most notably, following you around when you let them out in the hopes that you might give them food. In any case, a guinea pig is definitely much cuter, and is also a target of macro jokes. I have found this community just for making guinea pig macros. They're definitely very cute, possibly because guinea pigs are more innocent than cats. However, my Samoa is not that innocent, as seen in the guinea pig macro that I made. The picture was begging to be captioned. He's a sweetie really, though.

The Silky Anteater

Okay, I've officially found the cutest creature to have ever existed! This would be the Silky Anteater. It is a tiny, golden colored anteater native to central and south America. Very little is known about it, partially because it makes no noise (this fact is unverified but assumed to be true), it is nocturnal, and it is very difficult to find. It eats 5,000 ants a day, in comparison to the Giant Anteater's 30,000 ants a day. What an eater! As you can see from the picture, it is extremely fuzzy. This is so that it can blend in. It camouflages with the silky seed pods of kapok trees; any self-respecting predatory bird wouldn't want to be seen munching on a seed pod. It moves very slowly, like a chameleon, which just adds to the cuteness. Click here to see a couple of videos of the cuteness in action. The anteater also has a very endearing way of defending itself: it places its claws up to its face as if it's pretending you don't exist, like a little child or something. This pose is seen in the second picture.
