The post The 40 Best Memes Of 2011 appeared first on 12thBLOG.

It doesn’t take much for an animal to look adorable, but this bunch of creatures managed to turn up the cuteness dial to another level. Some of these pets and wild animals were in the middle of the year’s most harrowing natural disasters.

Ryo Taira lifts a porpoise out of a flooded rice field after it was swept by the tsunami and earthquake in Sendai, Japan.

A cat sits on top of a Kosovo Serb man’s hat in front of German soliders at a village in Jagnjenica, Serbia.

Harper the Pitbull puppy was given away in a trash bag. She was so afflicted by a rigor-mortis-like condition that she could barely move. Today, she’s walking almost like a normal dog.

Ciuchcia, a four-month-old dog, chases a cat in a courtyard at a shelter for homeless animals in Poland. Ciuchcia’s rear legs were paralyzed after he was physically abused and abandoned with his two siblings on a train track. The dog survived despite being run over by a number of trains.

From the photographer Mrs. Wai Chun:

“Taken in June this year during a game drive at Nakuru National Park in Kenya. Rounding a bend on the track I came upon not one but seven of these magnificent young lions draped across the branches of an acacia tree. Some are dozing and some are looking disdainfully at me. I was transfixed by these superb, regal creatures. What a privilege for me to have witnessed this amazing moment.”

An African spurred tortoise with two heads and five legs is displayed in Slovakia.

A kitten is given oxygen after being saved in a house fire in Missoula, Montana.

From photographer Amy Sly:

“Amid the crowds of protestors and media in Zuccotti Park, this little guy was just hanging out on Danielle’s shoulder. She found the squirrel a few months ago under a tree near her house after a heavy storm. Its legs were broken and a veterinarian told her it likely wouldn’t recover. Instead of putting the squirrel down, Danielle adopted it and nursed it back to health. Now they go everywhere together. The squirrel’s name is Hazelnut, she likes peanut butter, and her leash is made of braided hemp.”

A Kamchatka Brown Bear and one of her two three-month-old cubs share a kiss in Hamburg, Germany.
