Maine coons are absolute units and we're obsessed with them. They're simply larger cats so there's just more to love! That's how we see it anyway. All that extra floof just makes us want to press our faces into those giant bellies. 

Maine coons are always such a pleasure to look at, it's the closest we humans can get to having our very own wildcat indoors, size-wise. Cats of every size are also close and we love them just as much. 

However, there is a grandness, a royalty that Maine coons seem to possess. They are truly magic sorcerors who can hypnotize us and honestly, we'd totally let them. Get ready to be wowed by the grand and majesty beauty of Maine coons! 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Cocoa Puff, the giant rabbit! 

And when we say giant, we mean it. Cocoa Puff has over 340k followers of Instagram, making him not only a giant rabbit but a giant star. Cocoa Puff is what's known as a "Continental Giant," at the age of 2, Cocoa Puff weighed 18.5lbs.

And hilariously enough, when a fan online asked why they decided to name him Cocoa Puff, the answer was that Cocoa Puff's poops resembled the classic Cocoa Puffs cereal. 

Not sure we can look at Cocoa Puffs the same ever again! Thankfully, Cocoa Puff was litter box trained. He was also a cage-free animal. 

His owners sadly shared the news of his passing at the end of June. 

This week's spotlight goes out to Cocoa Puff, we know you're still delivering big smiles wherever you are! 

Meet Knickers, Australia's biggest cow. He is apparently so big he cannot be slaughtered so is now living out his days as a "leader" for younger cattle in Australia's Southwest. Check out some of the funniest jokes about this giant creature. 

Vivian the Dog Moves to Brooklyn is a children's book penned by artist Mitch Boyer. Taking inspiration from his own life, the story details the adventure of a massive dachshund relocating to the big city with his owner. Modelling his own pup, Boyer uses photoshop to create the effect of a huge dachshund that is similar size to his owner. Now, Vivian is almost the same height as the six-foot plus Boyer, and the photographs are truly adorable.

Penguins aren't exactly formidable creatures, are they? Although Emperor penguins can reach up to 4 feet 2 inches, they always seem super friendly and cute. Now imagine a penguin the same height as you. That changes things. Penguins the size of humans... the idea sounds like it comes from science fiction. But it actually just comes from science. It was recently discovered that giant penguins used to exist. We are not kidding. 

You can say that the artist, Petechka Odnobokov (Peter, for short), is larger than life! Peter places these images of giant cats (who you may have seen circulating the interwebs) in urban, and not so urban landscapes. A man with glasses and a beard is also present in each and every photo, this is Peter himself! 

Peter is always looking at ease and relaxed in the pics as the giant felines roam about (or nap about). Peter writes under one of the photos, a photo with cats is a peculiar way of communicating with the world around him. This allows you to draw a bridge between his total isolation from childhood and the outside world with other people.

The world he has created is certainly better than our reality!
