8 Animals That Marked The Year Behind Us

In the year behind us we all have had both good and bad memories. Since this is an animal blog, we wanted to remind you of the animals that marked 2013.

Sir Charles Barkley is adorable little French bulldog. Photos of him doing all sorts of stuff are circling the net mostly via Instagram where he has thousands of followers. You have to admit that he is charming little fellow.

This lovely zebra-donkey hybrid (zonkey in short) was born in animal reserve in Florence, Italy. Hybrids like him are really rare and, unfortunately, infertile due to uneven number of chromosomes. On the bright side, it should affect his life span and he should live a long and happy life. With his uniqueness, he'll probably have a lot of friends, too.

Jeremy Veach, the owner of this photogenic pug was inspired by the other animal internet sensations so they decided to share their friendship with us. Jeremy recently explained on his Instagram page that he's not torturing Norm in order to make these pics. He said it's easily noticeable when Norm disagrees with the picture idea. If that happens, they just move to the next one.
