Matthieu Georger is an amazing origami artist that can not only fold advanced and technical designs from other origami masters, but also creates his own designs, such as the bull and bear below. On his wonderful Flickr profile you will find a large collection of mostly animal origami. The well-lit and close up photographs of each artwork really let you appreciate the detail involved in each piece. Below you will find my ten personal favourites, but be sure to check out Matthieu’s profile for 120 more breathtaking designs.

When Troy Alexander, posted pictures of a mysterious structure he had found in the Peruvian Amazon, he had no idea that the scientific world would be completely unable to name the creature that might have made it. But that’s exactly what happened. After coming cross this strange fence- and spire-like construction on June 7 and failing to identify it himself, he posted a picture on “whatsthisbug” subreddit in the hopes that somebody could. And yet nobody had a clue!

Though we've seen a lot of dog portraits in our time these might just take the cake as the most creative ever. Ron Schmidt is the person behind the company Loose Leashes, an online shop where he sells funny prints of our furry friends in wonderfully witty scenarios. Dog person or not, you can't help but fall in love with these photos. As he told Dogster, “All the images represent the freedom that a dog would have without someone holding its leash. These are the things dogs would do if no one was around and they had absolute freedom.” Though his past experience is in fashion and celebrity photography, Schmidt found his true calling by accident. After branching out on his own to pursue commercial photography, he found his niche when, one day, he decided to design a creative Christmas card for his family, friends and clients. Featuring his yellow lab Indy, the card didn't just show her pose in a traditional way, he had her carry a tree on her back. "It was a fun, conceptual image that was a big hit with everyone who saw it. Since I love dogs and photography, this worked out really well.”

This is the astonishing moment a jaguar emerged from the water to launch a ferocious attack on a caiman basking on a sand bank. These stunning images show the 20-stone cat striking with lightning speed while the eight-foot reptile basks on a river island in Brazil. In a flurry of action, the ferocious cat sinks its teeth and claws into the back of the leathery reptile before whisking it away in its jaws.

This is a video by Pinecone Lodge featuring a flutist fluting (???) a bear to sleep. I’m not 10000% sure if it’s real or not, but is anyone 10000% certain of anything? They SAY it’s real, but you know what? People lie. Not neccessarily these people, but who knows? It wouldn’t be the first time the internet’s fooled me! On the other hand, if it is real, then, cool! I’m glad things worked out the way they did. Because this could have ended horribly. Know what I’m saying? I’m saying HOLY SHIT BEAR ATTACK RUUUUN!

Just like photographer Traer Scott and her heartbreaking portraits of shelter dogs, artist Mark Barone is trying to bring some much needed attention to the neglected animals in shelters. After learning that 5,500 shelter dogs are killed every day in the United States, he decided to paint 5,500 portraits of actual shelter dogs with names and the date that they were killed. Now two years into the project, Barone has painted more than 3,500 portraits which, for any dog lover, are incredibly hard to look at.

Inspired by their love for both dogs and airplanes, digital production studio Ink created this playful series, entitled Dogfighters, that blends WWII planes with a selection of friendly, furry animals. The studio explains that the planes were "carefully paired with their canine counterparts in order to transform their familiar hard-edged, silhouettes into a more adorable craft; a beagle, a schnauzer and a golden retriever."

Colonel Meow, a Himalayan Persian cat who lives in Los Angeles, California, has set a Guinness World Record for “cat with the longest fur.” Three independent vets measured his fur at an average of 22.89 centimeters, or nine inches. Colonel Meow’s new record will be featured in the Guinness World Records 2014 book, which is set to release on September 12th. “We already knew that he was the best cat in the world, but to be recognised in the Guinness World Records book takes it to the next level,” Colonel Meow’s owner Anne Marie Avey said.

Tumblr-er Mythsandfabrications’ daughter wanted to dress up their pet hamster David Bowie, but instead they made these cardboard cut outs. I think that’s a fair trade. Especially for Mr. Bowie’s sake. I mean, hamsters don’t wear clothes! Dogs, yes. Cats, if you’re brave. Guinea pigs, sure. Bunny rabbits, definitely. Snakes, of course. Turtles, duh. But hamsters? C’mon now, that’s just plain silly.

Now you might think our fascination and general obsession with cats first came about with rise of the internet and a certain LOLcats meme, but you’d be more than a little mistaken. The original creator of the cat meme and those funny kitty photos which we all love, was in fact an American photographer called Harry Whittier Frees (1879–1953). He was dressing up & photographing his two felines (Rags & Fluff) long before the rise of animated GIFs and Tumblr streams.

Finnish photographer Kai Fagerström presents unique photo series, where he captures wild animals making themselves comfortable in abandoned houses in the woods of Finland. Titled The House in the Woods, the photo series is set in cottages near Kai’s summer house, which were abandoned by their tenants after the owner of the place died in a fire. Award-winning photographer noticed how the place was slowly being reclaimed by the nature, and what started as a few snapshots, ended up being a book, published in Finnish, German, and English.

As far as dogs go on Instagram, Harlow and Sage aren't quite as popular as Maddie the Coonhound, Muu the French Bulldog, or Norm the Pug.

Especially awesome is this mesmerizing video showing Weimaraner Harlow wearing a black hoodie and shades. Below are some of our favorite pictures of soon-to-be Instagram rock stars Harlow and Sage.

This is Sir Didymus the cat. His person, Tumblr-er sparkysmachine dressed him up like Thor. He looks GOOD. Sparkysmachine insists that even though the kitty looks unhappy, he was all for it due to some catnip on the Mjolnir. Good to know, not that I think Sir Didymus has anything to complain about anyway — Thor is a good guy! One time I dressed up my cat as a villain and he ran away. Sure he came back the next day, looking all hungry and remorseful but you know what? I didn’t let him back in, because you cross me once and — oh God, this was all my fault. I’ve made a mistake. Skittles come back!

Fish being delivered to a pet store. The fish is placed in small baggies but the baggies each had their own compartment in a styrofoam insert that fit in the box and contain several unchilled ice packs that help to maintain a good temperature within the box. The blue color is from a combination of a light tranquilizer, stress coat, and a medication to help prevent the fish from getting sick.

The long-haired Persian (seen left) is now one and half years old and she's undergone a dramatic change. Despite daily brushings, Daisy's fur would get lots of clumps that were too close to her skin to properly cut off. On the advice of his vet, Torode decided that Daisy needed a haircut. Not just any haircut, of course, but one that had tons of personality!

And trust me, I’ve seen a lot of well dressed pups on that app. My dogs? They’ll never be named best dressed — they prefer to be in the nude. They take after their mom!
