Bears

Gorging on food and sleeping for months is the best way to spend winter. This also saves you the trouble of dealing with emails about Black Friday deals, boring office Christmas parties, and seasonal depression

Tigers

Always attack people from the back. It’s a strategy that’s guaranteed to work all the time. Except if the person you’re attacking is Professor Quirrell.

Bonobos

Have tons of consensual sex. The key word there is consensual.

Whales

It doesn’t matter if you’re off-key, sing loud and proud.

Elephants

When you’re old, never forget anything. When you’re young, make sure you’re cute enough that everything you do can be made into a viral GIF.

Spiders

Only eat food that you made at home. Or caught at home.

Wild Dogs

Working in a group is always the best strategy. Unless most of your group members are a bunch of lazy, moronic half-wits and you’re just better off doing the work yourself.

Lemmings

Kill yourself so that a multi-billion dollar conglomerate can make more money. Well, maybe this life lesson only applies to millennials.

Tardigrades

You can survive anything

Giant Pandas

China owns everything so you might as well learn Mandarin.

Leopards

Never change your spots. Most importantly, the spot where you drink, the spot where you eat and the spot where you buy crack. Unless the crack spot shuts down due to a gang war.

Ducks

Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Seriously, do not learn anything from a bird that relies on gang rape as its primary mode of procreation. You might as well be taking lessons from a bunch of Haryanvi Jaats.
