Meet Cinder, the Naked Chimp. Not CHEF! Chimp.

Black bears, with bonus pic of cub-in-a-sock. (Via ocvictor.)

The Improbable Octophant. I find this a bit disturbing, I have to admit. (See also the very moving "Squid Can't Win".) (Via Superagent Shana.)

For extra credit, nominate your preferred animal overlord in the comments. Monday there will be a poll. MAKE AN ARGUMENT PEOPLE.

Okay--

River otters are aesthetically pleasing (which takes the entourgae guys right out),and understand that the pain of the biological whip of that cosmic tyrant, DNA, can be mitigated by cuddles, snuggles, romps, and water slides. River otters understand there's more to life than territory, eating, and fucking, which puts them waaayyyy ahead of many possible overlords.
