We want to keep this fun right!? If you’re an animal lover, games with an animal theme are just that more entertaining – and they might even teach us something new about animals. Animals games can also be a great way to bond with other animal lovers. Jokes are great, too -- a fun way to relate to others and just have a good time... and they can even help us remember things (I have a feeling I’m not the only one who remembers a funny moment better than a dull one)! And don't forget about animal cams! Even if you can’t visit everywhere you’d like to go in person, there’s a good chance you may be able to do some live animals watching via the many webcams animals lovers have set up around the world. Check out polar bears playing in the snow in Canada, see a hummingbird sit on its nest in California, watch a mother seal feed her pups in Maine, and check out the puppy room (Great Dane puppies no less!) at the Service Dog Project facility in Massachusetts! That, I tell you, is a satisfying day of animal watching. And there are so many more animals cams to choose from!
