See the best animal stories of the year
Animals provide us with memorable moments year-round, from the cute to the curious. Whether furry pets, farmyard animals, or creatures of the wild, animal antics are endlessly fascinating.
On Animalkind, we feature a wide range of animals caught on camera. And, without further ado, these were your favorite animal videos of the past year.
This moose on the loose in a grocery parking lot was in the mood for a snack. And this shopper was not about to argue.
And speaking of large animals, tourists got up close and personal with one of the biggest of them all, when a whale breached the surface during their boat trip.
Staying by the water, a large black bear got too close for comfort when it took a lakeside stroll on the sand, scattering beachgoers.
From large to little. An ailing newborn chick looked out for the count when it was discovered cold and lifeless by a farmer. But her quick-thinking and handy hairdryer revived the bird and saved its life.
Staying with the farmyard theme, a runaway goat thought it was scot-free until it was rounded up by a resourceful sheriff's deputy.
Meanwhile, a little girl's dream came true when her mom doubled down on her promise to get the girl a puppy by getting her two!
Dogs feature heavily on Animalkind, and one of the cutest pet pooch stories we caught on camera featured a big sister alerting her deaf brother when their owners came home.
Animals bring a feel-good factor like little else, and no story captured that better than one in which a grieving grandma was surprised by a new golden retriever after losing her previous dog.
During the last 12 months, Animalkind has brought you stories spanning the globe. And there are surely many more where they came from, so let's look forward to another great year next year.
