With another year of facing a number of trials and tribulations, it can be easy for humanity to lose sight of the simpler things that are taken for granted. As we close out 2021, we might find ourselves more distracted than ever; absently scrolling through our phones, while the TV buzzes in the background, never fully paying attention to our surroundings because there is just so much noise. Our animal friends, however, are moving along with their eyes on the prize; adapting while acting natural, remaining fully cognizant of their environment, and just going with the flow. After viewing these pictures, you’ll think to yourself, “hey, I could learn a thing or two from these creatures.” We’re not so different after all, you know!
