Wild elephants tracked in Botswana slept about two hours a night and lay down only every third or fourth day. An elephant flat on its side is a rare thing to catch.
A wiry grey sighthound tears across a tidal flat, throwing up spray with every stride, then charges up the dune to check in, soaking wet and grinning. Two seconds later it's gone again, back down to the water for another lap.
A brown bear sits upright on a grassy slope, front paws clasped against its chest, staring off to the side for a full 20 seconds. It has the posture of someone waiting for a late bus and deciding whether to complain about it.
One blue eye, one amber eye, a black head, and a white body spotted like a Dalmatian, all on a mustard sofa. Cute, but no litter produced this kitten. It's AI. Watch the front paw change from black to white halfway through.
An elephant mother walking down a dirt track with two calves tucked under her trunk, matching her pace step for step. She doesn't look down once. She doesn't need to.
A fluffy Highland calf following its person across the pasture, a cow pushing a ball around like a dog, and one getting scratched in exactly the right spot. Cows have more personality than they get credit for.

A bull moose standing knee-deep in a lake at sunrise, mist coming off the water and pines behind him. Those antlers are wider than his body is tall. He does not look like he's in any hurry.
