　　And sometimes all you need is just a little something behind that cute photo or video, therefore this time we are here to warm up your hearts with the cutest uplifting facts the animal kingdom has to offer!

　　不过有时，你需要了解一些可爱小动物照片或视频背后的故事。因此，这次我们要介绍动物王国里最有趣的事实，希望这些小可爱能够温暖你。

　　Cat

　　Cats don't think of us as humans. Instead, they see us as equals, just like other cats.

　　猫没有视人类为异己，而是平等对待人类和同类。

　　By nudging you with their heads (bunting) they're actually greeting you as they would another member of their cat family. This means that to them we're probably the ugliest, biggest, and clumsiest cats they've ever seen but they accept you into their family and love you anyway.

　　猫会用头蹭你、顶你，这实际上是在和你打招呼，就像和猫家族的另一个成员打招呼一样。所以，在它们眼里，我们可能是最丑、最大和最笨的猫。但值得庆幸的是，它们接受我们成为家里的一份子，并且还会不求回报地爱着你。

　　Elephant

　　When a baby elephant is born, other mothers in the social group will trumpet to celebrate or announce the baby's arrival.

　　小象宝宝出生时，同群落的象妈妈会发出叫声来庆祝或宣布这位宝贝的到来。

　　Elephants tend to stay in close "family" groups for their whole lives, which are generally made up of female elephants (the males often leave the group to go mate, but sometimes group up with other solitary males). So other female elephants are often present for new births.

　　大象的一生会生活在一个密不可分的“家庭”中。不过这个大家庭一般由雌象组成(雄象经常会离家出走寻找交配对象。不过有时它们也会组成一个雄象家族)。雌象经常会陪伴在象宝宝左右。

　　Cow

　　Cows have "best friends" and are happier when they're with them.

　　牛有自己 “最好的朋友”，并且和好朋友在一起时会更开心。

　　A study from Northampton University found that when cows were paired with another cow that shared a social bond with them, their heart rate was lower and they were more relaxed while they were penned.

　　英国北安普顿大学的一项研究发现，当牛与有共同社会联系的同伴在一起时，它们的心率会更低，在围栏中会更放松。

　　Penguin

　　There's an abandoned minefield that has accidentally created a penguin sanctuary. The mines keep poachers out, but the penguins are too small to set them off.

　　一片废弃的地雷区阻挡了盗猎者，意外成为企鹅的庇佑所。幸好企鹅体重较轻，不会引爆地雷。

　　The mines were set on the Falkland Islands when Argentinian commandos occupied the territory in a 1982 conflict with British forces.

　　这片雷区在福克兰群岛。1982年，阿根廷突击队在与英国军队发生冲突后，占领了该群岛。

　　Since then, Magellanic penguins have thrived in the area. And because the areas are well-marked and fenced off, no civilian has been injured by the mines, either.

　　从那之后，麦哲伦企鹅开始在这片区域繁衍生息。由于这片区域有明显的雷区标示，并且有栅栏隔开，所以百姓没有被误伤。
