*just the character break of “I CAN LOOK THIS ELEPHANT IN THE EYES!” Has me rolling*

[dark-heika]

I immediately folded to the snow leopards, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Seeing snowy scarf-tail leap into the air to support her cub was just too cute!

[Mgfaulkner]

I’m happy to report Murphy has done it again! He’s now the proud father of two orphaned, rehabbed, and released bird children.

[Shadow__Pilot]

This is a little add-on to the 911 situation with the rescue dogs, it was said that the dogs began to get so hopeless, since they continued finding analyzed individuals that some of the firefighters or policeman would hide under debris so when the dogs found them alive, they would get hopeful. And I think that that is 100% worth hearing.

[emilywenig]

That final gorilla story was both wholesome and heartbreaking 😢
Glad Andre is still helping protect those beautiful creatures

[vivienneclarke]

Seeing all the firefighters saluting Bretagne for her final walk made me cry like a dude! ❤😭 You're right, , we don't deserve
RIP Bretagne, a true

[plaguekidd]

The BLT story is some genuine Disney stuff. A inseparable bond forged by tragedy is so inspiring.

[minylgv]

The sheer happiness of "I CAN LOOK THIS ELEPHANT IN THE EYES! :D" made me smile

[mscottjohnson]

4:16 the Chinese word for penguin is 企鵝 "Qi E" which translates to "business goose".

[rainpooper]

I cracked at them naming Murphy's baby after the rock he believed it hatched from. Come on, "Rocky" is hilarious.

[amzieeherb]

The fact they named Murphy's adopted son "Rocky" is a whole new level of wholesome! 💖

[fabulousfloof]

Bretagne getting that final send-off broke me like a pair of chopsticks. Oi, who's cutting onions?

[Usererror]

No one is talking about much of a survivor hyenas are. That’s some determination to stay alive.

[beardeddragon]

Brittney the dog’s sendoff nearly crippled my emotions as it shows that dogs are truly angels in disguise.

[Mars]

1:22 the moment both pup and moma jumped at the same time, legs out wide, I folded immediately X'D SNOW LEOPARDS ARE MY FAV CAT, IT'S NOT FAIR

[AutisticBearLover]

I cracked with Chada. As my name gives it away, I am deeply in love with bears. I adore them so much that I’ve studied them just for fun for 15 years straight.

It breaks my heart to know she suffered for so long before finally getting help, but I’m happy she can live her last few years in peace and somewhere safe with people who care about her.

And I will *never* be afraid to admit that. Bears always get me smiling.

[esbirdnerd]

6:58 That one got me. She just looks so happy. She’s finally free, after all those years of abuse, she can finally get be a bear.

[Killerwale-hkwy]

My soul was not prepared for the Crow speaking like he smoked for three centures and goofiest sounding seal I've ever heard.

[willb]

Sheep dog camo caught me off guard. A herd of floofy sheep goin by and suddenly there's a snout lookin at me with a derpy dog expresion.

Instant smile damnit.

[dominicdelvecchio]

Eagle step daddy got me. I even spaced out and forgot what you said about smiling and remembered when I realized I was smiling.
