It's a bird. It's a plane – actually, it's a squirrel!

After her baby became stuck in a Pittsburgh, Pa., tree, a mama squirrel sprung into action to rescue her little one.

The youngster, thought to be about 8 weeks old, fell about 20 feet from a woodpecker's nest it had been snoozing in, according to photographer Carla Brandon. Before the baby could fall 25 more feet to the ground, its mother saved its fall, plucking the little ball of fur by the tail.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, we think it's safe to say she's more than deserving of a nice gift.

Vali the 16-month-old chimp and Bam Bam the 5-month-old grizzly bear made fast friends at Myrtle Beach Safari park, where they put their differences aside to play, cuddle, and more or less, melt our hearts.

The pair were introduced after the South Carolina's park staff realized they were about the same size. "We got them out there playing on a sunny day, and they went on and on for hours," said Park owner Bhagavan Antle. "Neither of them wanted to quit."

They don't agree on everything, and it's not always easy finding time in their busy schedules to hang out. They can't even, like, share the same clothes.

But someway, somehow, this baby monkey, tiger and lion have secured BFF – best friends fur-ever! – status in Shenyang, China, where they met in a zoo's kindergarten class.

Sure, they have their differences. But they snuggle through them. Brunch recipes, workout tips, crushes – we bet these buddies talk about it all. And, to top it all off, they don't even get jealous of each other's cuteness.

The words "cute," or if we're being punny, paw-dorable come to mind when we think of our pets.

But not for Jimmy Fallon.

"Gary likes to eat her bed," the soon-to-be Tonight Show host wrote on Instagram.

Not naming names, but somebunny's excited for Easter.

Okay, okay – we'll call this dog out. Meet Boom: a 26 lb. Staffordshire Bull Terrier who's probably hoping to eat his weight in chocolate eggs come Sunday.

Not only is he paw-pular on Facebook (his page has more than 1,000 Likes!), but chicks dig him – judging by this picture, that is.
