by Meg on March 9, 2007

Totally knobbular, Dewd! (AND totally prosh lil’ horns)

This bebeh endangered Arabian Oryx was born in Wildlife World Zoo, in Litchfield Park, AZ.

Cute and beautiful!

2 Karen in Toronto 03.09.07 at 10:54 pm

He’s got cowlicks ALL OVER.

3 Theresa 03.09.07 at 10:59 pm

I noticed them, too, but they must be oryx-licks.

Or ORYX-LYX???

4 Theo 03.09.07 at 11:02 pm

LOL, Theresa!

One of the clues I couldn’t get in the crossword puzzle today was a 4-letter word for “a fringe-eared antelope” — the answer was ORYX! I shoulda checked out CO first, although those earsies don’t look particularly fringed.

Ahn….lookit the little hornsies! Muy Qte™.

Arabian Oryx has to be the best animal name ever.

It rather looks like a cow.

8 Aubrey 03.09.07 at 11:14 pm

Forget the Elixir of Life – we have the Oryxer of Cute!

(and thanks MC2!)

Also, Meg, don’t you mean TEWTALLY?!

Oh how weird, if you click on the link, at the top of the page there’s a picture of a red eyed tree frog. My sister found that picture a few years back and painted it in watercolors. It’s hanging on Mum’s beloved red walls now.

11 SeaBreeze 03.10.07 at 12:01 am

Oryx you glad you posted this picture? =)

Seriously, dis bebeh is QTE to the extreme! He almost looks like a cross between a cow and a deer.

12 Pheas 03.10.07 at 12:06 am

Mebbe he will meet a nice sheepalope at the bus stop!

13 newlee 03.10.07 at 12:28 am

lof his prosh lil overbite too.

looks like he should be on the simpsons.

14 Animalphiles Annie 03.10.07 at 1:13 am

OMG – it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven – my site mentioned in a CO *post* (faints). I totally squeed myself. :-) Thanks for the linkage, Meg!!

15 lauowolf 03.10.07 at 1:41 am

Babeh looks like a cow on pointe.
Such long, long legs.

16 Kayli 03.10.07 at 1:51 am

I don’t think it’s cute, imo.

17 Layla42 03.10.07 at 2:24 am

Ya habibi! Al sagheer wa jameel!

*ahem*

See what you’ve done? You’ve got me cooing at pictures in Arabic now! (I didn’t think the system would take the correct characters, so it’s phonetic)

And I really want to tickle those knobby baby knees…so cute!!

18 jen 03.10.07 at 2:57 am

Those forehead nobettes will become for-MID-able in no time at all, and hard to ignoryx:

Is it a young hamburger, or is it more? Only humanity can decide, knobs or no knobs.

22 Ogopogo 03.10.07 at 4:08 am

Looking at him you can just tell he makes cute sounds when startled :)

23 Suda Nim 03.10.07 at 4:17 am

Well, ogopogo, so do we….squee….

24 starcat 03.10.07 at 5:53 am

Anyone else notice that his li’l body’s shaped like the continental USA? Only missing most of Texas.

25 Sharon 03.10.07 at 12:39 pm

Am I the only one that wants to go up and scratch her neck? Or give a good chin rub ….. or just something?

I’m jealous ….. I pay good money for lashes like that

26 Carlisa 03.10.07 at 2:34 pm

Cute knobby leeeeeeeeegz!

27 Subhangi 03.10.07 at 2:53 pm

This bebeh oryx
From the land of mystix
Is all knobbly-kneed right now,
But he’ll soon grow – and HOW!
As big as an obelix.

28 Pheas 03.10.07 at 3:12 pm

starcat — I see it now!

Sharon — I’m thinking ear scritch and snout nuzzle myself.

29 rabble 03.10.07 at 3:21 pm

now that i’ve seen how breath-taking he’ll be all growed up, i wanna squeeze his cute little awkwardness all the more!

i bet his lips would feel like velvet on you cheek…i want an oryx kiss!

30 ask-god-a-question.com 03.10.07 at 4:08 pm

You better get that Oryx kiss now, then, since he’s liable to poke your eye out if he gives you an adult kiss.

31 pyrit 03.10.07 at 4:43 pm

Is this Oryx wearing Oxfords?

An oryx oxymoron: beautiful beast.

Endangered? Xerox Oryx.

This has been your daily Oryx fix.

32 Theo 03.10.07 at 4:49 pm

…incoryxable.

33 pyrit 03.10.07 at 5:10 pm

More like Exlax.

34 Persephone 03.11.07 at 4:35 am

For the record, Layla said “my baby! So small and cute!”

My own habibi, who grew up in the country, looked at it and said “I’ve seen lots of baby calves like that.” I said “maybe not *quite* like that…”:)

Little white socks all around! Little sweet feet!
