These famous animals are the stars in the net

Boo - the miniature Spitz

How cute. Although he looks like a Japanese cuddly toy, but is a real dog - the Zwergspitz Boo. A dog with 3.5 million fans! Without the internet, animals like Boo would probably never have become famous. But in the age of Youtube.com and Facebook, that has changed. Boos Miss is an American who wants to remain anonymous. But she gives her dog full attention. Rather by chance, she missed the Zwergspitz his cute look. Because his fur was totally matted, she cut it off and posted the first photos on Facebook. Meanwhile, Boo has said fan community and even a book with pictures of his dog's life. (Schirmer / Mosel Verlag, 92 pictures, 9.95 Euro).

The snoring mouse

This is just a mouse that snores? Right. But one that around 3.8 million people like to watch. This makes this animal sleeper a superstar in the net - even if the mouse probably knows nothing of its success ...

Beast, the mongrel dog

Okay, this fame is with the family. Beast, the dog of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Of course, the half-breed has its own Facebook page, which has around 500,000 fans. Wau.

The hamster and the broccoli

No hamster plastered broccoli as suitable for the media as this small copy. Or would otherwise nearly five million users watched the video?

Nonja, the orangutan lady from the Vienna Tiergarten, is not a star because she is cute. She is an artist! On Facebook presents the 33-year-old - with little technical help their caretakers - their own photos. And that's what 76,000 fans like. Incidentally, photographing is the second artistic career of Nonja - painted years ago and even sold a few works of art.

Cuddly cats

Look and melt away. With these cuddly cats every heart will be buttery soft ... at least 43 million users will find that. Maybe it's just users. But no matter, mom and baby cat are just too cute.

Heidi, the possum

May you rest in peace, little opossum. You will never forget. The small squinting opossum laid down after their first appearance in 2010, a media flash career. Facebook page, TV shows, newspaper articles. Even in the US, she was famous. In the US late night show Jimmy Kimmel, she sniffed in the run-up to the Academy Awards 2011 almost all candidates properly. But shortly after her owners smelled the big money from Zoo Leipzig, she died in 2011. Too bad, actually.

The frightened cat

Look ... surprise. That 61 million people are happy, would have thought even the kitten.

The sleeping dog

It's a bit mean to watch this clumsy dog. But glee can also unite. For example, the approximately 26 million viewers of this Youtube.com video made the sleepwalker a star.
