Sometimes, even wild animals make us go "aww". Whether it's a biological response to something that reminds us of human babies or maybe we're just weird, but something switches off in our heads and we do really stupid things to these "cute", "adorable" and "huggable" animals.

Like, please, guy with a broom—don't get between a raccoon mom and her kits!

That's Not How Trees Work & Don't Bring Rocks To Excavator Fight

You might have seen the #askadad trending hashtag this Father's Day after news broke that the internet is growing into the top forum for question-asking instead of using our parents. But let's be honest, this wannabe lumberjack probably would've had better luck and escaped some awkward insurance claims had he brought in someone with a little more experience (AKA dad) to this DIY tree-felling fail.

He films his calm conversation with the bear just inches away, even as the bear starts toying with the flimsy fabric separating David and a possible mauling! View Now

The Dance Of The Scorpions & Momma Octopus And Her Eggs

Mike Harris was on a hike in Phoenix, Arizona, when he noticed two scorpions — dancing? Well, they were really fighting, but with some good ballroom music edited over it, these two scorpions look like they're dancing the tango.
