About
Animals Talking in All Caps[1] is a single topic blog featuring image macros of various animals accompanied by captions personifying the creatures depicted in the photographs.
Origin
The Tumblr blog was created by Justin Valmassoi[2] on July 10th, 2011 with 35 image posts of animals ranging from piranhas to polar bears. The initial batch of posts received thousands of likes and reblogs, the most reblogged instance[3] being a photograph of several deer in a field with one placing his front leg on the hind of another.

Spread
The site was first featured on Buzzfeed[5] months after its launch in September 2011. In November, the link was shared on Metafilter[6] and Feministing.[7] After its appearance in Buzzfeed's list of the best Tumblr blogs of 2011[8] published in early December, the blog was featured in Rhode Island's Daily Herald blog.[9] On December 6th, 2011, Valmassoi did an interview with The Next Web[4], during which he explained that he started the blog as a place to store all of the captioned animal pictures he had created in one sitting for an ex-girlfriend. When asked if anything awesome had happened as a result of the blog's viral reception, he responded: "the sheer number of 'You have totally brightened my day' or 'This is my favorite Tumblr' messages I receive means more to me than I can properly express." The Facebook[10] page for the site has over 2,400 likes as of June 2012.
