Lovey Dovey: Animals Celebrate Valentine’s Day, Too!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

I have discovered that there are two groups of people when it comes to Valentine’s Day. First, there are those who love Valentine’s Day, and second, there are those who hate it. There’s no middle ground. I fall into the first category – I have always loved Valentine’s Day. I remember making personalized cards for everyone in my class in elementary school and then looking through my Valentine’s Day mailbox and finding the cards with candy attached. Today, I enjoy Valentine’s Day even more, spreading the love to all of my friends! To get you in a more “lovey dovey” mood, here are fourteen cute animal pairs having a fabulous time on Valentine’s Day!

1. These polar bears are keeping it classy with the timeless waltz.

2. These kittens have perfected the art of cuddling. I mean, they’re making a heart with their bodies!

3. Speaking of kittens, this one kitten would like to speak – “Can I haz hugz?”

4. And now that I mentioned hugs, this hug between a sea lion and penguin is faSEAnating (see what I did there?)

5. Since we’re on the topic of penguins, these little guys are happily wobbling away together!

6. It’s hard to beat those penguins’ happiness, but this cat love is giving it a go!

7. Somehow, I always keep coming back to cats. Will you be my Valentine, feline?

8. I think this little chipmunk worked up the courage to ask his favorite lady to be his Valentine!

9. And this squirrel fella just went for that kiss!

10. What did one giraffe say to the other giraffe on Valentine’s Day? I long for you!

11. These puffins’ love is so strong that they know they’re in this together!

12. Bunnies can have a Spiderman kiss too!

13. Check out these lovebirds, literally!

14. And last but not least, the sea otter on the left would like to point out that the lady on his right – “das ma significant otter.”

Enjoy this Valentine’s Day. Whether you are single or taken, spread love to all of the people in your life who matter to you. Happy Valentine’s Day! (And here’s a bonus picture.)
