OMG so TIIIINY!!!! And look at ‘em CLAWZ.

*plodes*

6 KarKar 11.29.06 at 4:38 pm

Those are the biggest bottles for something that little.

7 Subhangi 11.29.06 at 4:39 pm

Teughcats – JINX!

(Is that what you call it? Out here we say “Same pinch!” or, in more robust Punjabi style, “BALLE!”)

8 jaypo 11.29.06 at 4:42 pm

YIKES! Baby bears do look old. Ehn galore!

9 albatross 11.29.06 at 4:43 pm

oh em gee. those are BEARS? they look like weird puppies with big heads. and so fragile – you could just snap ‘em in half! CLEAN IN HALF, I TELL YA!

also, i wonder if the one with the red bottle is a female, and the one with the blue bottle is a male? I do hope so.

10 ceejoe 11.29.06 at 4:44 pm

OMG… what kind of bears????

11 M. 11.29.06 at 5:03 pm

Bears?! I thought they would be bigger when they pop out.

12 Linda 11.29.06 at 5:06 pm

You know.
I need a RSS-Feed of cuteoverload.com…..

I must be bombarded with cuteness at all times!

Cute bears =D

13 carolina 11.29.06 at 5:07 pm

Yes, as someone else noted, there is some serious “EHN!” going on for that bottle.

Their eyes aren’t even open yet! How squee-worthy is that?!

14 alcarwen 11.29.06 at 5:15 pm

bears in a basket!!!! squeeeeee!

Can Santa bring me a pair for Christmas? I’ve been so good this year!

15 little gator 11.29.06 at 5:16 pm

subhangi-here we say GMTA(Great Minds Think Alike.)

16 Rachel 11.29.06 at 5:16 pm

Hoooooly jesus, those things are TINY! And bears? Oy vey. I’ve never seen newbie bears before … too cute. I’d expect them to be bigger!

17 Theo 11.29.06 at 5:17 pm
18 Zombie 11.29.06 at 5:25 pm

Oh, sure, they’re cute when they’re babies, but then they grow up and you have a 1200 pound bear hogging the sofa.

19 petmuseum 11.29.06 at 5:26 pm

they are almost like human babies aren’t they? except clawsier. and fuzzier.

20 Sabba 11.29.06 at 5:29 pm

It’s kind of like the I-wanna-eat-it syndrome, except that I would like to put one in my rack. With little mittens on those fearsome claws! So warm and fuzzy tiny bears. Eeeeee….POIT.

21 pyrit 11.29.06 at 5:51 pm

“Got milk?”

22 MamaDawn 11.29.06 at 5:56 pm

Bebe bears make the most adorable noises when they’re eating like this… a kind of sheepie bleat maaah.

23 A thinker 11.29.06 at 5:57 pm

Oh my goshness! Who knew? *sigh*…

24 Jan Spencer 11.29.06 at 5:59 pm

SOOO adorable…how wonderful they are!!

25 Arvay 11.29.06 at 6:12 pm

THAT’s how bears start?!?

Holy crap!

26 pyrit 11.29.06 at 6:15 pm

Meg – More info on these behbehs, please. What kind are they? What are the chances they are polar bears???

27 zelda 11.29.06 at 6:16 pm

OMG, I hope they make it! Poor lil’ wee things. It’s often tough for orphans so young to survive. (Sorry if I’m being a buzz kill.) Jeepers, look at those claws!

28 Monica 11.29.06 at 6:19 pm

I like baby animals, but I don’t think these baby bears are very cute.

29 ceejoe 11.29.06 at 6:23 pm

Those bottles are almost empty!
More milk for the adorabubble babehs!!

30 HeidStar 11.29.06 at 6:25 pm

Bitsy babies!! No wonder they are born in cozy secluded dens in deepest winter.

Something tells me I shouldn’t even *ask* about the fate of mama bear. Can we get some backstory here? I’m all worried now.

31 Theo 11.29.06 at 6:26 pm

I’m hoping that C. Wichner (the submitter) will weigh in here, with teh infos…

32 Mary 11.29.06 at 6:35 pm

I’m intrigued by the “polar bear bebeh” question. If I remember correctly, polar bear adults have black skin and “transparent” fur, which kind of fits with the way these cublets look.

I also hope someone who knows these two will offer some info about their type and their mama. Just so we know.

33 Lauri 11.29.06 at 6:37 pm

Those bebehs are lovin’ their milk. They don’t look as if they will be too happy when the last drop is gone!

Yes, submitter, please submit more info! Snorgling minds want to know! :)

34 Catman Dude 11.29.06 at 6:40 pm

I hope that is RAW MILK that they are giving dem bears. Pasturized milk is among the worse stuff they can give them.

35 soxfan 11.29.06 at 6:48 pm

Subhangi-
Yes, “jinx” is what you say when you and someone else say the same thing at the same time. Sometimes people link their pinky fingers together too and make a wish.

36 pyrit 11.29.06 at 6:48 pm

Sheesh I gotta type quick ‘cuz that lingerie chick is right in line with my comments: box and I’m @work!

Anyway, if you Google Images, “newborn polar bear” there is a photo that looks a lot like these 2 above!

Whew! Done. Hit the post button.

37 Lemur 11.29.06 at 6:48 pm

Catman Dude, I imagine they’re actual wildlife fosterers, so it’s likely some sort of momma-bear-milk-replacement elixir (like the momma-cat-milk-replacement stuff I’ve used with orphan kittens).

But seriously. They’re so cute I can hardly BEAR it! (Seriously? Am I the only one to go for the obvious?) ^_~

38 Theo 11.29.06 at 6:49 pm

…and then they have to buy me a mocha.
;)

(er… that was directed to Subhangi, re: Soxfan)

39 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 7:08 pm

Out in the West, we say, “Poke, poke, you owe me a Coke.” (Accompanied by some friendly jabs in the ribs.)

And then, we looks at the polar bears again, and de wee wee wee bears with the bottles and the basket and the little eye capsules and pinky-pinky noses, and the slurping and the tiny, razor sharp clawses, but the milk mustaches and and and and

/brain application not responding/

40 iloveyousame:) 11.29.06 at 7:09 pm

i *heart* polar bears….especially when they come two by two…aaawwww!*dies*

41 ceejoe 11.29.06 at 7:17 pm

pyrit – I can’t find it… /whimper/ can you give us the link?

42 MarianRose 11.29.06 at 7:18 pm

oh christ.

43 Aubrey 11.29.06 at 7:21 pm

“They’re so cute I can hardly BEAR it!”

Lemur, surely you’re just baiting us?

44 carolina 11.29.06 at 7:22 pm

Only Stephen Colbert would not find this cute!

45 ringtailroxy 11.29.06 at 7:24 pm

i am curious why these cubs are being hand-reared… i also am always amazed at how people are soo suprised at how wee baby bears are… they weigh, like, 12 ounces at birth! lets think… even a mighty oak starts out as a tiny acorn!

46 Arvay 11.29.06 at 7:30 pm

Yeah, but ringtail, though we all start out tiny, we come out of mama at different times. Horses come out ready to go! Marsupials come out when, IMHO, they ought still to be considered fetuses! (feti?) Bears come out in between, apparently! :D

And Aubrey, those are bare-nekked bears! And they are barely bears yet!

47 Theo 11.29.06 at 7:34 pm

Let’s see… we’ve got Arvay, Aubrey, and now Pyrit… that’s three out of the four requisite horsemen of the Apuncalypse. Only one left to go…

48 Theo 11.29.06 at 7:34 pm

…aw crap.

Giddyap.

49 ceejoe 11.29.06 at 7:35 pm

I see trouble bruin’ with all these punsters…

50 pyrit 11.29.06 at 7:38 pm

Stag, you are it, Theo.

51 Aubrey 11.29.06 at 7:48 pm

Though we might be polar opposites in many ways, should we gang together, the devastation will be grizzly.

52 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 7:49 pm

In my book, Pyrit is still a wee bairn of punnage, while Aubrey is its grizzled master. Still, they are not polar opposites.

53 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 7:50 pm

D’oh! Aub, shoulda known you’d beat me to the Post button!

54 trin 11.29.06 at 8:07 pm

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy,
was he?

55 carolina 11.29.06 at 8:07 pm

Bearlets.

56 Laurie C 11.29.06 at 8:08 pm

i’m in yr basket…
drinking with my brudder

57 iloveusame:) 11.29.06 at 8:10 pm

are they christmas grizzly?
are they real…are they photoshoped?

58 Aubrey 11.29.06 at 8:13 pm

(pelts Redz to keep duplicate puns at bay)

59 Kim 11.29.06 at 8:13 pm

No wonder people used to think bears were born as shapeless blobs, and their mama had to lick them into bear-shapes! Eeee! (cute noise)

60 Angele 11.29.06 at 8:15 pm

“Only Stephen Colbert would not find this cute!”

Ew. I must be Stephen Colbert because these things give me the heebie-jeebies.

61 murdock 11.29.06 at 8:15 pm

Seriously… has anyone with a login sent this to colbertnation.com? I want to see it on tonight’s show, people!

62 Michelle 11.29.06 at 8:20 pm
63 Arvay 11.29.06 at 8:20 pm

How much butt would a bear butt bare if a bear were to bare his butt?

64 Arvay 11.29.06 at 8:24 pm

Oooh, Michelle, thanks for the photo! I wanna blow raspberries on the belly on the left there! I lufth thuh warm fuzz!

65 ceejoe 11.29.06 at 8:25 pm
66 Golden 11.29.06 at 8:28 pm

Is there such a thing as cuteoverload overload??!! Me thinks the bearsies are possibly the CUTEST things EVAR. I too wish to know their stories!

67 Golden 11.29.06 at 8:29 pm

CEEJOE! omg.. stop the madness..

68 Michelle 11.29.06 at 8:31 pm

Those little guys make me feel like there is not enough room in my heart for baby polar bears. Don’t worry though, I’ll find a space.

69 lurkertype 11.29.06 at 8:41 pm

I couldn’t even tell what species these were as the pic was loading up! (teh CLAWZ helped)

Bebe bears! Who knew?

CO has certainly expanded my knowledge of Teh Qte. It’s educational, Peeps! (how’s that for a justification?)

70 Thalia 11.29.06 at 9:03 pm

Hmmm, here I am at home reading CO when I get a hankering for a snack. Since we happen to have no pudding in the house I get a Klondike ice cream bar outta the freezer, and only on the way back to the computer do I see the polar bear on the wrapper and realize there is some kind of subliminal suggestion thingy going on here.

71 HeidStar 11.29.06 at 9:04 pm

I think they may be wee li’l black bear cubs. Compare to these squirmers:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Inspecting_Newborn_Black_Bear_Cubs.jpg

Full bottles, stat!!

72 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 9:11 pm

Aub: don’t worry. I’ll try to avoid the doubled puns in future. I don’t want to make a spectacle of myself. (get it? get it? sorry.)

73 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 9:13 pm

D’oh again! I meant: I couldn’t bear to make a spectacle of myself.

74 Teughcats 11.29.06 at 9:14 pm

Dangit! Stupid wikipedia links hijacking my browser. WHY does the back button not work?

(I know, I can just open in a new window but that would require more thinking than I am capable of at the moment. Plus wiki should just play nicely and share.)

I am in ur brain, killing yr brain cells.

75 Arvay 11.29.06 at 9:15 pm

Oh, Redz, before I saw your second comment, there, I had been about to proudly proclaim that *I* got it, thinking you were referring to spectacled bears, p’raps?

I had a bear coloring book when I was a kid. It was a bare bear coloring book until I colored all the pictures.

76 Dak 11.29.06 at 9:19 pm

All the people here wanting baby bears… do a Google search for “Gloomy Bear” and understand why I’m laughing…

77 pyrit 11.29.06 at 9:20 pm

Redz, oh Redz, I “bare”ly know ye, yet you have thrown down the puntlet. Just give me two “Bay”ers, a Ca”bear’net, a ham”bear”gur with “bear”naise at an au”bear”ge with subhangi the bom”bear” and WATCH me recite Shakes”bear”.

78 Aubrey 11.29.06 at 9:21 pm

Redz, it’s hibernature to pun. Don’t worry. Don’t avoid. Just be.

79 pyrit 11.29.06 at 9:26 pm

Now, back to the fun:

“Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That’s why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!”

80 pyrit 11.29.06 at 9:40 pm

Sing it Peeps! Especially, the “bear”itones!

81 Redzilla 11.29.06 at 9:47 pm

Hee! Arvay, yes! I love the spectacled bears!

82 petmuseum 11.29.06 at 9:48 pm

*splort*
hey pyrit, good call.
now i wanna walk like you,
talk like you-oo
do-oo-oo

83 Arvay 11.29.06 at 9:59 pm

Do you guys also spend absurd amounts of time on google image searches? I do it obssessively, even during conference calls! The more generic, the more fun! “baby koala” and “bernese pup” are no-brainers, but try things like “cute fuzzy” (I found an eskie breeder near me! Dayum! eskie puppies!) and “chubby fuzzy” I repeat: Dayum!

84 Donna 11.29.06 at 10:07 pm

Ooh! Tiniest babies ever!

85 Mel 11.29.06 at 10:59 pm

Dah Behrz.

86 musicchick2 11.29.06 at 11:11 pm

Re: HeidiStar’s link to the black bear cublets – Did anyone else look at their expressions and think of the Budweiser frogs??
BUD
WEIS
ER
And these little babies are soooo cute, it bears repeating. I can bearly stand it!

87 lurkertype 11.29.06 at 11:14 pm

d’oh! Mel, I can’t believe it took someone this long to say that! Is Ditka feeding them?

88 P. Erasmus 11.29.06 at 11:21 pm
89 CatFreak 11.29.06 at 11:23 pm

> Oh, sure, they’re cute when they’re babies, but then they grow up and you have a 1200 pound bear hogging the sofa.

… and eating your kids. And that’s always so *messy*!

On other points, yeah, bears, even the young of the largest bears, start out weighing less than a pound, can you believe it? Entirely helpless.

In zoos, I’ve read that the Moms often reject the cubs, often because they haven’t been adequately socialized themselves, and have no idea what to do.

A lot of the baby animals one sees in a zoo nursery are in that situation. Zoos are great places for educating people about animals, and especially for making the new generation *care* about animals, but … they’re tough on the animals themselves. It’s a wonder that zoo breeding programs work as well as they do.

90 Aubrey 11.29.06 at 11:25 pm

MC2 – my dear girl. It might be a Kodiak moment, but you’re em-bear-assing yourself!

91 musicchick2 11.29.06 at 11:27 pm

OMG! Bwand new baby polar bear video! Amazing! KEWWWT! I wonder how the Mommy possibly avoids smooshing the baby!! *splodes*

92 musicchick2 11.29.06 at 11:39 pm

Aubrey, I bear the blame for that barely disguised bear-ish comment. But the facts bear me out. Please bear with me as I bear the burden of my shame. Under the circumstances, I think I’m bearing up pretty well!

93 albatross 11.30.06 at 12:10 am

Hmmm. I don’t think they’re polar bear cubs (if this has already been established, well… you’ll just have to BEAR with me) because the skin on their lips and pawlets is pink.

alrighty.

94 albatross 11.30.06 at 12:12 am

oh my god. after reading some more of the comments I apologize for my attempted bear pun. clearly this is one no one can resist, and the sheer volume of punnage is overwhelming. aiieee!

95 Aubrey 11.30.06 at 12:14 am

Crikey. I have to panda to you guys – this is hurtful; I mean bear-y me already.

96 Kim 11.30.06 at 1:18 am

Ceejoe – due to your link, my husband has grounded me from CO for 24 hours. *going to corner to pout and think about what I’ve done*
The SQUEE was SOOO worth it.

97 iloveusame:) 11.30.06 at 1:25 am

oh…nooo…please:)when will they bread…soorryy that is just too much!

98 Shannon 11.30.06 at 4:28 am

Those are bears?!?!

We used that size bottle on tiger cubs when they got a bit larger than this, lol!!!

99 Thalia 11.30.06 at 5:35 am

Polar bears sleep in their little bear skin
They sleep very well I am told
Last night I slept in my little bare skin
And I got a heck of a cold!

100 Subhangi 11.30.06 at 1:09 pm

T-O:

I shudder to think of what you’d be like if you were a mind-reader. :-O

101 BeckyMonster 11.30.06 at 3:44 pm

I demand to see “in progress” photos of these little guys growing up!!

102 Tiffany 11.30.06 at 4:15 pm

Why do these people have baby bears?

103 bee 11.30.06 at 5:07 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!

104 Sara 11.30.06 at 7:57 pm

Wee-tull! Wee-tull! I want to eat them!

105 useta hada kitteh 11.30.06 at 8:03 pm

Why do people always want to eat things when they’re little and cute? I could undershtand if they were *chocolate* bears… I just want to cuddle them and sing them to sleep. (what song? The teddy bear’s picnic, of course.)

If you go down to CO today,
You’re sure of a big surprise,
It’s lovely down in CO today,
But better go in disguise,
For every babbeh bear that was
will gather there today because
Today is the day the babbeh bears nawm their bottles…

(I’m a cuppl’a days late, but I’m well-meaning.)

106 layla 11.30.06 at 9:29 pm

Yogi and Boo-Boo The Next Generation.
I mean..they *are* in a pic-a-nic basket after all…

and those little clawses. man–too cute.

107 Theo 11.30.06 at 9:43 pm
108 Lauri 11.30.06 at 9:51 pm

Oh yeah, Layla!!! Perfect! :D

That Mt. Rushmore thing scares me!!!

109 useta hada kitteh 11.30.06 at 10:35 pm

Theo — the Mt. Rushmore thing is fantastic! Thanks! I’ll never think of those four presidents in quite the same light. George Washington singing about Teddy Bears. Wonderful.

110 book_monstercats 11.30.06 at 10:42 pm

Loose skin! They’ve got to grow into it.

111 Theo 11.30.06 at 10:58 pm

Useta — you’re welcome. (I’m not the author, just the collector.)

112 amanda 12.01.06 at 1:59 am

those bottles are EMPTY! drain on, young cublings! :)

113 TtownAnne 12.01.06 at 6:53 pm

Sorry, this falls into the “somewhat less than cute” category…kinda wormish and squeamy looking.

114 Theo 12.04.06 at 2:09 am

Actually, it’s in the “Unusual Animals” category.
