24 Animals Sleeping And Cuddling With Stuffed Animals
24隻動物邊睡邊擁抱充填動物玩具

原文網址

Perhaps the only thing cuter than an adorable household pet is an adorable household pet curled up for a nap with their favorite plushie toy. There’s nothing like an animal cuddling with the toys we loved in our early childhoods to get the cuteness juices flowing.

世界上要比一隻可愛的家庭寵物還要可愛的, 大概是一隻可愛的家庭寵物蜷縮跟在牠們最喜歡的絨毛玩具睡在一起.沒有甚麼比一個動物擁抱著我們小時候最喜歡的玩具更能源源不絕地湧出可愛了.

adorable 可愛的
plushie 絨毛玩具
cuddle 擁抱
juices flowing 源源不斷

The actual reasons for which animals cuddle up with or play with stuffed animals can vary greatly. For some, it can simply be a source of soft warmth to keep them feeling safe during their nap time. For others, these stuffed animals can represent prey. This is especially apparent in dogs, which can sometimes thrash their plush animals around or rip them when they play. Dogs that were weaned too early from their mothers may also exhibit behavioral problems and may try to nurse from their plush animals – even as adults, this behavior still makes them feel safe.

動物擁抱充填玩具的實際原因可能相差很大.一方面說, 絨毛玩具可以提供柔軟和溫暖好讓動物們在睡覺時覺得安心. 另一方面說, 這些絨毛玩具可以表示為獵物. 這尤其顯示在狗身上, 狗常常會在玩的時候撕裂和鞭打那些毛絨動物. 狗如果太早離開母親斷奶會展現行為上的問題, 像是想從毛絨動物上獲得哺乳 - 甚至在成犬身上, 這些行為會讓牠們感到安全.
