Memes are amazing images that can counter all those toxic posts and heartbreaking news that relentlessly circulate on social media. Coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, meme was originally used to mean "replication of cultural ideas." Over time, it evolved and morphed into how we know it right now -- pictures, hashtags, gifs, or even videos wilth hilarious captions.
Internet memes probably started to flourish around the mid-1990s on message boards. Among the most popular memes back then are the dancing babies and dancing hamster.
Video memes became popular especially when Youtube was launched in 2005. The same video-sharing site led to immense popularity of hilarious videos like Gangnam Style, a Kpop music video released in 2012 that broke the video view limit of 2 billion and forced the developer of Youtube to expand it to nine quintillion.
Then, as the internet became more accessible, the memes evolved into how we know it right now.
Unfortunately, it is a common observation that the quality of memes decline through the years due to the oversaturation of internet users. Over the past years, we have seen reused images time and again which made it tiresome.
In an attempt to revive the quality memes that used to prevail on social media, Nature World News had rounded up some hilarious wildlife photograph that you can add to your vast collection of memes.
