Art and media are entertaining, without a doubt, but they're also important tools that people use to navigate the world. Just look at memes, for example! On the surface, they're a great way to make a friend laugh or feel seen, but they also say a lot about the state of the world at the time they went viral.

One 2013 meme is resurfacing thanks to an adorable wolf video from a Canadian wildlife sanctuary, and no one is complaining one bit. The video in question comes from Miller Zoo, a wildlife sanctuary and rehabilitation center in Quebec. In the clip, a zookeeper gives a close-up view of a white wolf acting silly and trying to play, which is something I've never seen before! LMAO! This dog-like wolf is absolutely stunning, but it's hard to fully take in his beauty when he's busy showing his booty to the camera. He's got more personality than he knows what to do with, though, and it could put a smile on anyone's face to see this wild animal acting so silly.

But the star of this video wasn't even present--it was fictional wolf Moon Moon! Dozens of commenters left hilarious anecdotes about the popular meme, and it unlocked a whole section of my memories I thought I forgot.

Commenter @splitz1998 shared, "my favorite part of the Moon Moon memes is that it was just some random person's "wolf name" from one of those Facebook posts, and everyone ran miles with it." LOL--that's so true! The name 'Moon Moon' came from someone's 'wolf name' infographic, and the rest is history!

"It’s insane how this activated Moon Moon memories for everyone," agreed viewer @space_ranger_ricky. "I see wolf posts but they never remind me of Moon Moon except this one." Isn't it wild? It must be the sanctuary wolf's playful posture and silly behavior that helped connect the dots, but whatever it may be--I'm glad to revisit this giggle-worthy meme!
