It’s been over two years since Pizza Rat taught us what it means to reach for the stars. It was 2015, a simpler time — one that you may be feeling nostalgic for even now.
And that’s why we know you’re going to watch this video of two rats battling for a french fry in the disgusting NYC subway. Come on, give it a try! It’s short, it’s fun, it’s dramatic. It even has a beginning, middle, and end.
Truly, what more could you ask for? Read more…

An eight-week-old puppy that was stolen from a house in Melbourne, Australia, has been returned to a “devastated” family after local police launched a public appeal.
A number of items including a laptop, an iPad and jewellery were also stolen from the home on Monday.
Yet it was the missing labrador, Sasha, that distressed the family most — especially the daughter of the dog’s owner, four-year-old Maia.
“We’ve only had her a week, but she’s part of the family. She was my daughter’s best friend, and those two spent each night falling asleep together in the dog bed,” Sasha’s owner, Ryan Hood, told Today. Read more…

Another high-profile giraffe pregnancy might be in our future, internet.
You, of course, remember April – the giraffe whose pregnancy became a livestream phenomenon earlier this year. For what felt like 50 years, we watched a pregnant April lounge around her pen at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. Finally, one fateful spring day April gave birth to a son, Tajiri. A beautiful ending to the story.
But now, a new April development seems imminent. During a Good Morning America appearance on Thursday, Jordan Patch, owner of Animal Adventure Park teased a potential second pregnancy. Read more…

Another reminder that despite their somewhat cute appearance, kangaroos are yes, still wild animals.
An 80-year-old man has been injured after being attacked by a kangaroo on Thursday morning at Bendalong, located in New South Wales, Australia.
He suffered multiple cuts to his lower legs in the attack, according to a NSW Ambulance statement.
It was an unfortunate incident for the man, who fed local kangaroos every morning — in this case, one of the kangaroos became aggressive.
The offending kangaroo.

New Zealand’s first cat and internet sensation, Paddles, has sadly died.
The ginger and white cat belonging to the country’s new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, was struck down by a car on Tuesday, according to the New Zealand Herald.

Virginia is looking to replace Gov. Terry McAuliffe with either Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, or Ed Gillespie, the Republican candidate and former Enron lobbyist who’s run a very Trump-esque campaign.
Goats might seem non-partisan. But what’s the Democratic symbol? A donkey. Which is basically a dumb, less evil-looking goat. Read more…
