In my opinion, the more animals, the merrier. So without further ado, I invite you to take a break from all things negative and delve into the world of cuteness.

With all the negativity and stress dominating online spaces, wholesome memes have emerged as a delightful and uplifting phenomenon. Combining humor, empathy, and positivity, these memes aim to brighten people's days and foster a sense of connection.

By often featuring adorable animals, heartwarming stories, inspirational messages, or acts of kindness, they deviate from sarcastic or ironic humor. Wholesome memes counterbalance the negativity that can usually be found on social media platforms.

All this wholesome content can be compared with positive psychology, which focuses on understanding and promoting well-being, happiness, and flourishing in individuals. It highlights positive emotions, character strengths, positive relationships, and personal fulfillment. Sounds familiar, right?

Wholesome memes align closely with the principles of positive psychology. So we could almost say that by engaging with wholesome memes, people are exposed to content that supports their well-being and contributes to a positive psychological state.

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a baby hippo who was separated from his family in a terrible tsunami. This little hippo was lost and alone, wandering through the wilderness with no one to turn to for help. As he wandered aimlessly, he came across a 103-year-old tortoise who had lived in the area for many years. The tortoise was wise and kind, and he knew just what to do to help the baby hippo. The tortoise took the hippo under his wing and became his best friend. He taught the hippo how to find food and water, and he showed him how to navigate the difficult terrain of the wilderness. Together, they explored the land and found new friends along the way. The hippo and the tortoise became inseparable. They would spend long days basking in the sun and sharing stories about their lives. The hippo was grateful to have found such a wonderful friend, and he knew that he could always count on the tortoise to be there for him.

Years passed, and the hippo grew stronger and more confident. He never forgot the kindness of his friend, and he always knew that the tortoise was there for him whenever he needed him. Eventually, the hippo was reunited with his family, but he never forgot the lessons he had learned from his friend, the tortoise. He knew that the greatest gift in life was the love and support of those around you, and he was grateful to have found that in his best friend.

With over 100 years of life experience, I'd say this hippo is in good company. Best wishes to Owen, and Mzee.

Owen and Mzee I think are their names. Someone gave us a children's book about this when my kids were little.

Knowing hippos, I hope the hippo takes mercy on the tortoise when it grows up.

Baby hippo lost its mom so "imprinted" with the tortoise. They nurse from their mother for about 8 months, so I'm not sure this hippo/tortoise relationship will end well. Sorry for being a downer.

I'm not saying these puppers aren't amazingly cute but please people be aware how dangerous it is to breed a small dog with a large dog. Shouldn't be done at all. I am a uk kennel club accredited breeder with 20 years experience of breeding and showing or at east I was until I lost my last beautiful girl and can't deal with the heartache of losing her

I'd love to ride with them. I hope passengers are advised of this first, though. Some people are afraid of birds.

Leucistic, not albino. The croc-o-gator is the only one of the three who looks to be truly albino instead of leucistic.

"Average banana weighs 3628 grams" factoid actually just statistical error. Average banana weighs 118 grams. Bananas Georg, who lives in a cave and weighs 10,000 grams, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
