No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Well, maybe the hamster.

As we approach Friday, time seems to slow down to a crawl. For a mid-afternoon pick-up, here’s an awesome supercut(e) of a bunch of different animals playing dead. Yes, this is exactly what the internet was created for.

I guess the hamster takes first place. I’m actually pretty certain that it’s really dead. Today I learned that cats and dogs are pretty good at playing dead, except for one small problem – the tail.
