The Daily Cute: Okapi and Paste
Business in the front, party in the back! The okapi is also known as the zebra giraffe because, well, it looks exactly like a cross between a zebra and a giraffe. In fact, it looks like someone copied and pasted part of one on to the other. I didn’t even know these animals existed until [...] → Read More

The Daily Cute: National Pig Day
Welcome to March, and welcome to National Pig Day! The day was conceived of and implemented in 1972 and is a day to celebrate pigs. It has been celebrated by having pig parades, visiting zoos and farms, and, in my child’s case, devouring his food quickly and leaving a mess all over his face. To [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: International Polar Bear Day
Happy International Polar Bear Day! The day was established to raise awareness about the impact of global warming and reduced sea ice on their habitat, and encourages people to take steps to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Daily Cute: World Pangolin Day
The best way to describe the pangolin is probably that it looks like an anteater and a snake had babies. Obviously, snakes breeding with other species is a thing of my darkest nightmares, but fortunately, despite that description, pangolin are surprisingly cute! Launch the gallery to see this intriguing creature! Click here to see “Tuesday [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Tuesday Moose Day
I’d like to gloss over the fact that “Tuesday Moose Day” is an imperfect rhyme at best, and just go straight to telling you that today is moose day on the Daily Cute because my friend’s improv group is performing tonight and they’re name is simply “Moose.” Since I’m a simple-minded fellow, that was the [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Presidents' Day
A lot of people think Presidents’ Day is about Washington’s birthday or a day to reflect and celebrate all US presidents, but in actuality, it was established by the Bed Lobby as a day to sell mattresses at low-low prices. And since I am bought and paid for by the Bed Lobby, I’ve put together [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: World Whale Day
Are you ready for World Whale Day? This Sunday, February 18th, it’s time to learn about, appreciate, and celebrate, the mighty whale. It’s no fluke (whale pun–nailed it) that I’m giving you a gallery full of these massive mammals to prepare you for the big day. So launch the gallery and enjoy! Fin. Click here [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: National Hippo Day
On the heels of Valentine’s Day comes National Hippo Day, another day for love and adoration. “What?!” you say, “Another made-up holiday to get people to buy cards and chocolates?!” but I disagree. Just because we all go around giving each other National Hippo Day cards, and gifting each other hippo-shaped chocolates, does not mean [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! To those of you celebrating happily today: it’s a wonderful opportunity to express your love for another. To those of you not celebrating today: it’s just a made-up “Hallmark holiday” created to sell cards and candy. To everyone: today can be about more than just romantic love, it can also be about–oh, [...] → Read More

Launch the gallery to see cats, dogs, and more enjoying what is objectively the greatest food on earth! Click here to see “The [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: The Road to Westminster
Not to be outdone by the Olympics, the 142nd Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show takes place this coming Monday and Tuesday! It seems appropriate that it will take place during the Olympics as this is the Olympics, Super Bowl, World Series, and World Cup all in one for these dogs. And for the first [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Childhood Photos of Team USA
The Winter Olympics begin tomorrow! To get you even more invested in these amazing athletes, I have a gallery of childhood photos of some of Team USA’s athletes. Now, some of you might look at these athletes in the coming weeks and say, “They’re still children!” and while it’s true that snowboarder Red Gerard is [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: What's Ermine is Yours
Meet the ermine aka stoat aka short-tailed weasel aka Mustela erminea. As skilled hunters, they’re a danger to birds, rabbits, and other small rodents, and a pest for farmers, but for our purposes today, they’re just darn adorable (very reductive, I know, but this ain’t the Daily Tree-Climbing Hunter). Launch the gallery to check out [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Fly, Eagles, Fly
The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII last night in an exciting (and very crazy) game. To commemorate their first Super Bowl win, I’ve put together a photo gallery of actual eagles. And since eagles are more stoic and angry looking than cute, I’ve tracked down some amazing photos of baby eagles that are definite [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Odds on Super Bowl Favorites
This Sunday at 6:30pm EST, the New England Patriots play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. Vegas has the Patriots favored by 4.5 points at the time I’m writing this, but the real favorites are the puppies in the Puppy Bowl taking place at halftime (though, let’s be honest, Justin Timberlake performing at halftime [...] → Read More

The Winter Olympics in PyeongChang begin next week! Last week, the Daily Cute presented a gallery of U.S. Olympians having a photo shoot with some baby animals. Today, I’ve got a gallery full of Team USA Olympians with their very own dogs! Launch the gallery to see them all and to read what they [...] → Read More
The Daily Cute: Tuesday Shrews-day!
You’d think after posting the Daily Cute for all this time, I’d be pretty in-the-know on all the animals fit to print. Thanks to my son, however, I’ve learned that’s not the case. Today’s post is brought to you by my son learning about and repeating the name “elephant shrew” over and over and over [...] → Read More
