If you feel like your news feed is constantly cluttered with doom and gloom, then it might be time to look and learn some fun facts that just make you happy. These happy facts cover topics ranging from animals to technology to language, and who knows when knowing one of these might help you out at your next trivia night. While cheetahs might be quite the big cats and the fastest animal on the Earth to add to that, actually, they are very sensitive beings. They get so anxious; they don't know how to socialize with each other and get too stressed to procreate. Seeing that cheetahs need some assistance, for years now zookeepers have been assigning these animals their very own emotional support dogs. "When you pair cheetah cub with a guide dog, the cat looks to the dog for cues and learns to model their behavior.
It's about getting them to read that calm, happy-go-lucky vibe from the dog" explains Janet Rose-Hinostroza, animal training supervisor at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. With its simple, wholesome tales of ornery animals and feel-good photo projects, Bored Panda has flourished by sidestepping the outrage. NewsWhip attributes Bored Panda's success to its light-hearted focus, noting that visual-heavy stories about dog-paw tattoos and horse mustaches were among the most shared stories across Facebook in September. Learning all about rare and elusive animal facts is all very well and good, but sometimes it's good to have a refresher about the basics. That's why I reached out to the PDSA, the UK's leading vet charity, to have a chat with them about dogs. A whopping 33 percent of British households keep dogs as pets.
That number is slightly higher (38.4 percent) in the US. Naturally, with so many dogs going on walkies all the time, it's important to know a bit more about them as animals and when to know if we can approach and pet them. (They might look cute but they're not always in the mood for a stranger to ruffle their fur and scratch their bellies!) PDSA Vet Anna Ewers Clark told Bored Panda that dogs often show early signs that they don't feel comfortable.
Oh, and be sure to have a read through Bored Panda's second interview with the always-friendly PDSA team who was more than happy to share some insights into animal behavior and body language.

Launched in 1998, Dave uses its social media to create absolute nonsense. "It's always good to learn new things about the natural world, even if the fun facts aren't always 100% true," a Dave spokesperson told Bored Panda. According to data collected by Facebook, "on average, dog people have 26 more Facebook friends than cat people".
However, cat people, while having less friends, are more likely to be invited to various events, meaning that they're putting those friendships to good use. Unsurprisingly, cat people tend to be friends with other cat people and dog people with other dog people. No, it's not historical events, and neither is the human body - it's our mother nature.

The main threat to mountain gorillas is the degradation of their habitat.
As the region's population grows, the land is increasingly converted for agriculture and competition for limited natural resources leads to deforestation. With little other choice, people enter mountain gorilla forests to collect water and firewood, putting gorillas at risk from human contact and illnesses.

Created by WBEZ Chicago, This American Life shares stories that constantly engage – and often bring a tear to your eye. They eventually spot Mowgli and decide to investigate him, at first poking fun at his "stork"-like legs. Hurt, Mowgli walks away, not caring if they laughed, and the vultures feel sorry for him, sympathizing with him since they themselves aren't always the most popular animals in the jungle. To lift Mowgli's spirits, they sing That's What Friends Are For, accidentally giving Shere Khan enough time to discover and corner Mowgli. As Baloo holds off Shere Khan, the vultures take Mowgli to safety and then help him scare the fierce tiger away with fire.
In the end, they remark how dull it's going to be without Mowgli around, and go back to wondering what they should do to pass the time.

But amidst all of that information, it can feel like there just aren't enough happy facts to go around.

Much of that traffic comes through Facebook, where Bored Panda's October posts on average generated more likes, shares, and other reactions than any other English-language news site, according to NewsWhip, a news analytics provider. Bored Panda had more than three times as many engagements per post as its closest competitor, conservative news site Daily Wire.
In total engagements, Bored Panda ranked second only to Foxnews.com, and ahead of major news organizations like NBC, the Daily Mail, the New York Times, and CNN. That is, unless you are the one viral publisher that has defied the algorithm and thrived. Against all odds, Bored Panda, a blog started by a Lithuanian photographer in 2009, remains among the top publishers on Facebook. As its competition has faded, Bored Panda's growth has accelerated.
