WATCH: GoT's Charles Dance Narrates Nature Doc Parody

Attention Game of Thrones and nature documentary fans: Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) has just narrated an adorable parody of the Nat Geo Wild miniseries Savage Kingdom starring kittens and puppies, and it's every bit as epic as you'd expect.


While the parody, entitled Savage Cuties, is just a short advertisement recreating the popular nature documentary, which follows big cats and hyenas in the African plains of Botswana and is also narrated by Dance, it definitely packs a cute punch.

It also serves as a helpful recap of what happened during the first season of the show, assuming you can even hear the narration over your audible sighs and giggles.

When the six-hour, three-part miniseries debuted in November of last year, it was met with mixed reviews.

The New York Times noted that the show seemed to be trying to capitalize on the success of Game of Thrones by inserting a dramatic human narrative onto the wild animals.

They didn't seem to care for Dance's narration either, observing that he "reads a ponderous narration in a sonorous voice that is supposed to be ominously intriguing but is too often just nap-inducing."

That being said, Savage Kingdom is pretty violent and bloody, and features some pretty stunning imagery. It even has a viewer advisory before each episode. So in that way, the comparisons to GoT are actually pretty accurate.

The next season of the show, called Savage Kingdom: Uprising, will begin with new episodes on Nat Geo Wild starting on Friday, Nov. 24.

And while viewers may be excited to catch up with their favorite royal animal families, we've got to admit: we would totally be down for a full series about kittens and puppies duking it out in the wild African savanna.

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
