NEW WEEKLY CONTEST!

Each week, a new contest will open up challenging you to share your best and favourite Round Animals on a theme. Simply share the image in the comments, and the most upvoted Round Animal wins!

What do you win? Eternal bragging rights and an Exclusive User Flair!

This week's theme: Cat-buns

When a cat wants nothing more then to become spherical while dozing, that is a cat-bun. Check out r/Catbun for some inspiration. But please credit the creator unless its your own OC!

Comments are in "Contest Mode" so upvotes will be hidden until results are announced.

This is a list of common reposts that are not allowed on r/RoundAnimals (rule 4). The images in this list are generally the specific images which will be removed; other photos (preferably OC or credited) of these creatures are allowed.

Original content is always welcome, of course. There are loads of round animals out there just waiting to be admired, so lets see some new ones!

This is in an effort to keep the sub fresh, no one wants to see the same thing over and over again, and with re-post bots its bad enough. Lets bring the human back to the internet and post something fun and fresh.

This list is subject to change and can be expanded in the future.

The Takahē

This is certainly a resplendently round borb, but this specific image often does the rounds on big subs and almost always get reposted/cross-posted here. If you live in NZ, I challenge you to go get an OC Takahē pic, we'd all love to see it!

The Bearded Tit / Reedling / Parrotbill

The bearded tit is almost always looking round, particularly in winter. OC photos of bearded tits are welcome, but these (particularly the top two) are often reposted.
