In today’s ‘animals being adorable’ news, this cute little fox seems to think his bed sheets are snow. 

After taking a little sniff around and attempting to bury his head into his white surroundings, he leaps around, looking like he’s expecting flakes of icy loveliness.

But he looks severely disappointed when the sheets stay perfectly intact.

Our hearts just broke for him.

Redditor Noerdy made us feel all sorts of sadness for the fox after sharing the video.

Ever seen a pig in sheep’s clothing?

Well, they exist and they’re starting to make waves on the internet.

Meet the Mangalica pig. The domestic pigs hail from Hungary and have thick woolly coats, just like sheep.

The pig-sheep hybrid was first created in the 1830s by Austrian Archduke Joseph, by crossbreeding two Hungarian sheep breeds, but it slowly disappeared during Hungarian communism, before being reintroduced in the 1990s.

They’re pretty rare.

Which might explain why you’ve never seen one before.

But now the internet is falling in love with the curly-haired pigs.

This dad knows who’s Boss.

Earlier this week, dad Patrick Pipino, from Saratoga Springs, New York, took his two daughters – 12-year-old Isabelle and seven-year-old Sarah – to their first Bruce Springsteen concert at the Times Union Center.

Springsteen and the E Street Band ended up playing for longer than expected, which meant Isabelle ended up running late for school the next day.

Dad decided honesty was probably the best policy and wrote a note for Isabelle’s teacher, explaining the reason for her tardiness.

boot camp

Join boot camp they said, it’ll be fun they said.

For some reason, which you can no longer remember, you decided that this would be the time for you to get serious about getting that dream bod you know you’ve got buried away somewhere.

Clearly your typical routine of popping to the gym, and then shimmying off for a cheeky Nando’s wasn’t really working, so you decided that a boot camp was the way forward.

After all, you heard nothing but great things from others who have tried it, and you thought it would be quite easy.

How wrong you were.

1. The nervousness

That little voice in your head that was telling you this might not be a great idea as you hastily handed all your money over was trying to help you.

And you’re a fool for ignoring it.

Before your first session the nerves kick in, and you find yourself wearing everything lycra and neon that you… Read the full story

A Cinderella story for the age of Instagram.

Olajumoke Orisaguna, 27, was working as a breadseller in Lagos, Nigeria, when she unintentionally walked through a photoshoot of Tinie Tempah in his home country.

Photographer Ty Bello didn’t think much of Olajumoke or her casual photobomb until later, when she was going through and editing the photos.

That’s when she noticed that she’d accidentally taken a truly incredible shot – and that Olajumoke was someone pretty special.

Bello immediately set out to track down Olajumoke, writing on her Instagram: ‘Every one has been asking if this lady is a model…… Read the full story

We already fell in love with the resurgence of the underlights trend – highlights that sit on the bottom layers of your hair.

For all the same reasons, we’re now obsessed with hidden hair tattoos.

If you haven’t got the message yet, here it is again: what you see on Instagram isn’t real.

Photos are edited and posed. They capture perfectly filtered moments of people’s lives. Even the most gorgeous people probably scrolled through thirty different options before they found the selfie that makes them look their best.

Proving this point once again is fitness blogger Jess, who’s also known as PlankingForPizza. She shared a classic ‘transformation photo’ on her Instagram to show how much her body has changed.

But there was a twist. The before and after photos were actually taken only thirty seconds apart.

Having children, these days, is becoming less of an expectation and more of a choice – which is welcome news to everyone who decides having kids isn’t for them.

Despite this, being child-free still seems to carry an air of mystery, with society presuming that reproducing is the obvious path for all women to take.

Whilst having an ankle biter or two around will undoubtedly satisfy the maternal aspect of your personality (should you have one), deciding to live a child-free life is also highly under-rated.

So, if you can’t decide which direction to go in, look no further – 17 reasons being child-free is awesome.
