before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at animals real or not that have
become a part of popular Internet
culture whether they began as a meme or
something about them inspired one these
furry and maybe not so furry celebrities
of the web are now recognizable number
10 biscuit the sleepwalking dog we’ve
all heard stories about how when dogs
sleep they act out their dreams so cute
a dog running while lying in the middle
of the floor is nothing new but this
puppy takes it to a whole new level and
was caught on film for all to see also
known as running dog biscuit has been on
Animal Planet and across the web with
her sleepwalking antics causing more
than a few giggles and concerned posts
but don’t worry her vet has assured the
family that a sleepwalking dog is
completely normal though they did get
her a helmet with her name on it to
protect her head and any nearby walls
number 9 photobombing sloth animals
always seem to know where a camera is
much to their owners delight or
annoyance sometimes the same can happen
out in the wild with hilarious results
take crasher squirrel for example or
better yet the photobombing sloth
originally intended as a sort of class
photo for a group of students working in
the Costa Rican jungle this picture was
taken by chance just as something moved
into the frame the resulting picture has
been circulated around the internet with
laughs and imitators ensuing some cynics
screamed Photoshop but whether it’s
faked or not does not matter this slothy
show-off is a star number eight Oh long
Johnson
back when the internet was in its
infancy strange and hilarious cat videos
were shared via a show called America’s
Home Videos people send in their funny
videos for the world to see and back in
1998 this cat was one of them backed
into a corner and agitated at another
cat’s presence in the room this kitty
doesn’t let out a meow or hiss but
rather what sounds like worried
muttering this clip spawned several
copycats pun intended with even more
videos popping up where animals make
very human noises while this one’s cute
strange and spawned merch let’s not all
start scaring our pets on purpose just
so they’ll make weird noises number
seven yelling goat like our last entry
this one involves animals sounding like
humans but unlike our last entry this
one does not involve human-like words
but human-like screams several Mountain
trekkers have reported being startled by
the sounds of mountain goats convinced
they were actually humans calling out
for help or worse upon discovering that
wasn’t the case they of course had to
come back with video proof which the
internet put to good use the yelling
goat was popular enough before it was
spliced together with popular music but
now thanks to the Biebs and Taytay this
is one celebrity animal that’s set for
stardom number six dramatic chipmunk
sometimes the smallest moment can catch
the Internet’s collective I just like
this little creature did in Japan
morning Musume is a popular idol group
that was frequently featured on a show
called hello morning in one episode the
girls were trying to decide what pet to
buy so a pet shop employee brought in
various animals for them to check out at
one point the chipmunk in question nor
in actuality prairie dog turned to look
at the camera at just the right second
then there’s a quick zoom in and a
random moment turns into internet gold
especially after intrepid YouTube user
magnets 99 edited in the perfect music
from Young Frankenstein
number five Lil bub many pet owners out
there have found ways to turn some of
the cutest and most unique looking
animals into Internet gold such as the
case with Lil bub a very cute and very
popular kitten who was born as the runt
of her litter with a number of genetic
mutations not one to be discouraged her
owner mike brickowski used that cute
face with its ever-present tongue to
raise money and awareness for local
animal shelters while lil bub has
trouble walking and traveling due to her
various ailments the adorable kitty has
nonetheless mated around the world in
the form of merchandise as well as
magazine film TV and internet
appearances number four sneezing baby
panda it’s a video of a baby panda
sneezing we’ve all been there having a
nice serene moment at the zoo with our
child sleeping in our laps munching away
on some tasty bamboo when suddenly a
sweet Kodak memory becomes the video you
must show your friends and play over and
over again for instant laughs baby mais
young and her mother xu s us were filmed
at china’s Wolong National Nature
Reserve for a documentary in the late
90s and after the clip was uploaded to
YouTube in 2006 it became a viral
sensation
mahjongg moved to the National Zoo in
Washington DC in 2000 and there are now
several videos of her and her children
though none is quite as popular as the
original number three grumpy cat there
isn’t much out there this cat approves
of and if she does she’s probably been
photoshopped actually named tartar sauce
this internet celebrity and her
lesser-known brother pokey have feline
dwarfism which causes their memorable
upset faces grumpy cat became the cat
meme used to express a number of
displeased thoughts and emotions as of
2012 winner pick was originally posted
to Reddit and with numerous TV and film
appearances under her collar
she’s the only cat who can say she beat
out Elon Musk and me
Gaiman as the most popular star at the
2013 South by Southwest Interactive
Festival but don’t worry
grumpy cat would never approve of her
popularity or anything at all really
hey number 2 nyan cat who knew that the
combination of a cherry pop-tart and an
8-bit cat would become so popular the
original animation was created by
illustrator Chris Torres based on his
own cat Marty after Torres received
separate suggestions to draw a cat and a
pop-tart once it was on the web youtuber
Sara June combined the little animation
with a popular Japanese Vocaloid tune
[Music]
and this cute little digital cat has
been inspiring everything from parodies
to cosplay ever since even sprint joined
in on the fun by featuring the an cat in
an ad for one of their phones before you
run off to create your own home video
pet meme gold here are some honorable
mentions away
number one Harambee in May 2016 the news
of a young child accidentally getting
into a gorillas pen at the Cincinnati
Zoo caught the world’s attention
especially because the gorilla in
question 17 year old harambe was killed
in the incident within what seemed like
seconds everyone online had taken aside
as to what was to blame bad parenting
overzealous zoo officials or an agitated
primate did Harambee need to be put down
who knows but we can’t save this for
certain while there is a more recent
example of online animal fame very few
celebrity beasts have found the honour
of being at the center of a fake news
story during a u.s. presidential
election so there’s that do you agree
