20 photos of animals that are simultaneously endearing and terrifying (21 photos)
The internet has long been accustomed to making us smile with kittens and dogs. But sometimes animals are captured on camera at such a moment that the shot veers between "so cute" and "oh my god, what is that?"
This collection contains just such photos. Here, yawning dogs resemble saber-toothed tigers, cats look like aliens, and owls simply stare at you as if they're reading your mind and plotting world domination. You'll likely smile, flinch, laugh, and perhaps glance back at your sleeping cat with a hint of suspicion while watching. Because the animals aren't trying to be funny or scary. They're simply living, and the camera captures the perfect moment to remind us: nature is unpredictable, and cuteness comes in many forms.
