While each of us is unique in our own way, there are instances or factors that some of us share with other people without us even knowing it. Maybe even just once in our lifetime, we have already met, or even just seen, someone who looks exactly like us, and you just stand there all bamboozled. You take a look once again to see if your eyes are not deceiving you. We may not know it, but some of them might just be our doppelgangers. A doppelganger is a German word that translates to ‘double-goer’. In some cultures, a doppelganger is considered a bad omen or a harbinger of bad luck. It is also one of the most common themes in horror/thriller films, with the movie, Us, as one of the most famous examples. However, they don’t necessarily have to be scary, as some are actually cute and funny. Here are some of the most famous celebrity doppelgangers in the animal kingdom.

When we are almost on the verge of giving up because everything seems to be against us and everything around us is falling apart, we are sometimes cheered up and motivated by inspirational quotes. It might come off as cliché, but these quotes make a huge difference in our mindsets and deal with things.
One of the most prominent givers of motivational quotes is the Dalai Lama. What others don’t know is that the 14th Dalai Lama also has a doppelganger in the animal kingdom. Meet the Dalai Llama. Don’t they both look happy and approachable? I think the thing that they share in common is that they can definitely cheer me up when I’m down.
